Maybe that serves reason why this album is so abysmal. Radio play dies like a fish out of water and it raises little hope for future discography. Either way, when a singer's image goes down the tubes, so does the band's. He did cut his drinking, but the domestic violence accusations further question if he's sober. Lead vocalist Ivan Moody has been tagged with accusations of alcoholism and domestic violence, and he hasn't exactly done a lot to debunk these claims. When mixed in with these abhorrent offenses, you'll forget you even liked "Jekyll and Hyde" in the first place.Īnd this abhorrent nature of the album comes at a bad time for Five Finger Death Punch. "Jekyll and Hyde" played like a track that could garner some positive recognition. I'll mince words here, ladies and gentlemen, this is the worst album, not only of the year, but the worst to hit store shelves since Attila's "Guilty Pleasure", which was released nine months ago. But c'mon, did we expect Five Finger Death Punch to actually release a solid album when so many of their contemporaries are putting out masterpieces?
Nothing here is absolved of the contrived and lackluster identity of this terrible album.
#Five finger death punch got your six album full#
This album is chock full of heavy hitting swear-fests that will make moshers sweaty and bloody. (brain cells lost by typing this) You got the extreme part down too. My narrow-minded skinny jean wearing friend who loves some of the worst in the genre said this album was one of his all time favorites. It's actually more brutal, with more extreme dynamics." Well, Jeremy, you got the brutal part right on the nose. What's more is that this goes without mentioning an interview with Five Finger drummer Jeremy Spencer, who claimed he was "digging it. Go figure?Īfter an outstanding week of top-notch releases for heavy metal (Nile, Ahab, Soilwork and Motorhead), Five Finger Death Punch comes out with an abomination that stops this freight train right in its tracks and sucks the life out of it completely. Review Summary: The year's best (so far) and worst (by far) albums both come out in the same week.
