Falling In Reverse - Fashionably Late (09/07/2013)
Music has the very unique ability to conjure emotions, influence us to feel a certain way and, in some circumstances overwhelm us. Music can fill us with joy, nostalgia, melancholy and anger. Music should never fill you with unrelenting agony in which you lose the will to live, all colours in your life turn to grey and your fall into a dark cyasm of despair. This is what Falling In Reverse have managed to do in their latest release, Fashionably Late.
I honestly struggled to listen to this album. It is so horrendous I cannot fathom who could possibly listen to this for pleasure.
What are these people doing with their lives. Why are they doing this. Why won't they stop. The songs on this album are so horrendous. With names like, Alone, Self Destruct Personality and Bad Girls Club, I'm not sure why i'm surprised.
At no point in this album does the band do anything constructive with the instruments they have been given. Slamming your hairsprayed head on a keyboard and palm muting the most distorted guitar in the history of music, is not music. It is pure shit. I would also like to have a good chat with whichever dickhead chose the band to be "Alternative Press' Artist of the Year", because he or she has clearly not listened to this abomination.
Lead singer, Ronnie Radke, said the following in a recent interview. "My Dad raised me on metal, but my first serious love was hip hop. When I heard Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", that's when I first fell in love." If Ronnie Radke showed this album to Dr. Dre, he would probably get shot.
What was life like before I listened to this? When I was blissfully unaware that people made music this terrible. With as much digital alteration as pornography, Falling In Reverse still fails to sound any good. Fashionably Late is void of any actual meaning, any substance or any redeemable qualities.
If you're into what i can only describe as a terrible sounding Fall Out Boy coverband who have failed to get a haircut since their first breakup, you'll love this album. If you like life, you will hate this album.
