      But, back to what I mentioned above lol.
      I remember being so fucking hyped for Got Your Six. I'd preordered the album on Google Play (RIP to that app lol) and had JUST got off of my night shift gig at McDonald's (LOL).
      I started the first track on my headphones and started my bike ride home.
      Holy fuck that was awful.
      I kinda knew right after listening to it in full that whatever they were going to release from that point would be total, actual, complete bullshit lol.
      And I was right (:
      They have ONE riff.
      ONE! And they have ANDY JAMES??
      I hope hes getting paid well because he sure as shit isn't getting the opportunity to showcase his abilities as a guitarist.

      @@nrthrn_dcy Got Your Six also came out at a weird time in my life. I was branching out into a bunch of different genres and really starting to get into experimental music like Deathspell Omega. This album was really cookie cutter and watered down in comparison and just kinda left me feeling bored. Wasn't sure if my apathy towards it was because of what I was into at the time or because it wasn't interesting... I tried revisiting the discography recently and it seems that the answer was the latter. I agree that this album marks the steep downward slide for me even to this day. Still have a soft spot for Way of the Fist, it's a banger and that's a hill I'll die on.

      Remember Everything is another one that really touches me, and it's relatable to me as I never felt like I measured up to what my parents wanted me to be for a while or would make decisions that they would not approve of. The Tragic Truth is another one that hits hard for me. While it's about Ivan's struggle with alcoholism and his inner demons regarding that, this song feels like it matches the mood when I'm feeling stuck in a hole, so to speak. Like I'm stuck in a faulty pattern or struggling with keeping on top of my own things in life.

    Judgement Day really caught my ear due to the vocals, atmosphere, and that weird sound that's like a spring being pulled back. When I say vocals I mean how his voice sounds, not the actual lyrics. It also sounds like a patchwork of three separate songs. I've always referred to the band as "The kid in class who could get straight A's if only he applied himself." It's a shame because in a lot of ways they're close to being really good but I'd rather listen to their generic sound than wade through the past ten years to find something better.

    As a fan of the band, I found it incredibly dull and disappointing. I like Afterlife, Roll Dem Bones (still a dumb song name) and Gold Gutter. While they still have their issues, to me they are the better tracks since they have a better energy than the rest of the tracks on this album.
    I expected better especially with Andy James (who's a beast on guitar) as lead guitarist but was sad to say the least to hear that his talents were underutilized.
    Judgement Day can go back to whatever Psycho Synner notebook it came from. 😂
    It's a bad, boring album and I'm fine if I never listen to it again.

      @@michaelhawkins7389 I'm not against liking death punch. I love practically every album they have put out. My favorite album being American Capitalist. I even enjoy Got Your Six from time to time. I'm not hating just to hate, I genuinely like this band. My criticism is out of love, because like you I don't know where I would be right now if I didn't listen to their music when I was younger. I dedicated When The Seasons Change to my crush whom I am now dating.
      When I was angry and needed therapy, I put on the Way Of The Fist album and treated myself.
      So like I said, my criticism is based on love, not jumping on a hate train just to be accepted, I just don't feel this album as others would.

The lyrics are much more realistic to the current events that America is struggling with mainly statistics in males and it's obviously making political shots will go over a lot of people's heads but if you are kept up enough you will hear everything they are talking about and it may not be relatable to many but this is my absolute favorite album I have ever heard it is very relatable

    Taking someone serious about a cringe counter who is wearing a half plastic skull mask cannot be real. Typical Slipknot fanboys who love to bash people for the music they like. I think it’s funny how people are just now picking on Ivan for using melodic vocals, sure isn’t like they’ve never used melodic vocals before. But just now decide to pick on them for whatever reason.

I feel tho the riffs are totally forgetable except maybe the Gold Gutter one. The sound is kinda overproduced but its what you are waiting to hear when you listen to today's FFDP... Subjectively?

    This is all my opinion and the way I see the meaning of these songs;

    IOU: is a ‘fuck you’ ‘I owe you nothing’ to all the Trans, non-binary, furry, etc bastards who think the world should cater to them and owes them everything.
    Welcome To The Circus: about how obsessed with technology society is and how social media, the likes, follows, retweets, etc and how much it as overtaken society and overall how stupid and dependent on the government and on technology everyone is.
    Times Like These: a newer and two-for-one of Disturbed’s Savior of Nothing, and In Another Time, along with revisiting FFDP’s Afterlife, and Welcome To The Circus.
    Blood and Tar: Personally, I think you hit the nail on the head with that one.
    Judgement Day: about the 2020-2022 shit-show with Covid, the Covid vaccine, the aftermath of the vaccine (that was damn near entirely predicted by Conservative ‘Conspiracy Theorists’) and the over all over-reach/abuse of power by the governments around the world.
    Thanks For Asking: not sure.
    Gold Gutter: an eh Way of The Fist album attempt.
    Pick Up Behind You: not sure.
    Roll Dem Bones: is about how fucking greedy and corrupted certain groups of people in society have become.

    Five finger death Punch is one of those new metal bands I really never got into. I just kind of thought they were trying to hard to be like Slipknot.

But yeah definitely butt Rock. Maybe you should do a tier list for butt Rock bands. If you haven't already done so. Steel panther comes to mind but also 3 Days Grace, Nickelback.

      For the longest time, I only listened to nu metal until I started checking out other types before ultimately deciding on power metal. I had somebody ask me one time how he, as a pop fan could get into metal. I told him to start with post-Adam Gontier Three Days Grace, since they're the lightest band I can think of. Then move on to Linkin Park, since they have a rapper, then go on to Shinedown, since a few of their songs are light enough to be played on pop radio, then to ease his way through bands like Sixx A.M., Seether, Korn, and Disturbed. By then, he should be able to handle FFDP. And once he gets to that point, he'll be ready to run with the big boys.

    I was excited for the album, slightly disappointed however I’ve been a fan since “War is the Answer” and I’ll always support them. I have a few tracks I enjoy, but that’s the beauty of music there’s plenty of variety for everyone
