First 3 songs are some of the best music they’ve made in their discography. Definitely falls off a bit though as the album progresses. Also the lyrics in Undivided and Circled by the Wolves are atrocious, especially for a band in their 4th album cycle.
Agreed, but both those songs lyrics were aimed at Danny cause Ben was pissed as fuck. It does feel very elementary, but the message gets across enough for me to listen to them when they come in the shuffle
I don’t skip them and I never listened to Asking Alexandria for their lyrics to begin with, but for a band that’s on their 4th album cycle those lyrics are just absurdly awful. Stand Up And Scream was written when they were teenagers and was their first album so the lyrics can def get a pass but 7 years later and years away from the peak scene years to be writing stuff like that is obscene.
Wish I got to see them with this singer. Feel like this was a decent album, and I liked FDTD too
I saw them 3 times and the early part of his run he used lots of backtracking. But it felt more like "true" AA compared to the FDTD era and it was fun. They never really did a proper tour for this album anyways, so maybe he was improving. I'd say the 10 Years in the Black with Danny was peak, too bad I didn't see them then.
Yeah I regret missing that show. It had a stacked lineup
I was just bringing this touring cycle up with my husband. I went to 3 shows. One person I went with got their teeth knocked out in the pit st one show.
I liked Denis live, he had a lot of energy and sounded true to record. Shame he was such a mess off the stage lol
I liked them live with Denis but he did this weird air hump thing like half the set lol
Same, but I think it's still worth seeing AA live now, especially since Danny is using harsh vocals and screams again. He also announced a new song "sulfur", which is supposedly heavier than morte et dabo. It's hard to believe, but who knows, maybe we'll see them playing metalcore again.
This is still their best album
Caught both vocalists within like a year of each other a while back. With Dennis they were touring with Bullet For My Valentine. Can’t remember who with Danny. Both vocalists were sick in their own ways

Have had this song on loop lately. Love this album, wish Dennis stayed
Caught them at Warped ‘15 with Dennis fronting and the show was a blast! This album gets a lot of hate for some reason. Danny or not, I thought it was a great record.
