It's almost not fair for me to review this release since I pretty much was gonna love it no matter what, almost not fair. Despite me being a huge fan of the band and Ivan, I know it's a great album despite my bias. One thing I have to say is that the songs are freakin catchy on here. I literally can't get them out of my head. I enjoy all their music and my actual favorite songs by the band are not even on this album (not yet anyway, I need to spend more time with it and I'm sure that will change.) but these tunes are sticking with me more so than any of the other albums. I'm not much of a sing along kinda guy, I prefer to listen and listen well. But I've been breaking my own self imposed rule over and over since I downloaded this. I practically have me Lift Me Up memorized from when I got the single, that's how much I listened to it. I don't usually have the time to do a song by song breakdown, but I'll make a small exception this time.
Lift Me Up - one of my favorite songs on here, good to hear Rob Halford joining in, great way to start things off, actually is kinda uplifting
Watch You Bleed - it's a good song, similar to stuff they have done in the past, but fun to listen to all the same
You - this is an interesting song, I kinda love it, maybe because it fits alot of people I can think of that fit that "you" role but I repeat this one alot
Wrong Side of Heaven - the titular track and again similar to stuff they have done before, it's very good, I personally prefer the heavier and angrier tracks (in general, not just by 5FDP) so it's not one of my favorites on here but I still like it
Burn MF - I love this song and I'm not afraid to admit it, it is a really fun song and definitely one of my favorites on here
I.M Sin - might as well just read what I wrote for the last song, exact same feeling
Anywhere But Here- this is the song it took me longest to adjust to, I had to listen to it a few times before I got into it, but I did and I enjoy it now
Dot Your Eyes - this is my favorite song one this album hands down, I love it, repeat it over and over and sing along as well, if I had a theme song this would be it
MINE - this one falls under the "I like it but it's not going to be a favorite of mine" category
Mama Said Knock You Our - ok so IMO this one should not be on here, I don't like this song at all, maybe it's because I never liked the original version or maybe it's because it feels really out of place here or maybe it's both, I almost took off a star but I couldn't do it for just one song
Diary of a Deadman - another interesting one, starts off like a little story then instrumental than Ivan interjects at the end, not one of my favorites but not bad either
I.M Sin 2 - no change in my opinion for the collaboration, still love it
Anywhere But Here 2 - this one is odd because it seems to feature more Maria Brink than the version that says it features Maria Brink (unless I'm wrong on who I'm hearing here but I definitely don't think so) and IMO this version as a duet sounds better than the other one and hearing this version a few times made me appreciate the song more
Dot Your Eyes 2 - this version is too much for me to handle LOL it's already my favorite song on the album snd then it has to go and feature Jamey Jasta (who I think is freakin awesome btw) and now I love the song even more, if I could have had one request it would have been to equalize Ivan and Jamey's parts but not gonna complain
All in all, many of the songs on here do feel similar to their past works but is that really a bad thing? Not to me. Yet at the same time the album somehow manages to give off a slightly different vibe than their other albums. Is that a bad thing? Not to me. The album is quite good overall, very catchy, nice and heavy in your face ass kickin style you expect from 5FDP. You know it is them, still doing what they do and doing it well. I highly recommend this to all fans out there and if you are not a fan yet, get this album and their older ones and become a knucklehead for goodness sake. I cannot wait for volume 2 and hope it exceeds this one. Any trash talkers about this album can come see me and I'll dot their eyes and ..... LOL!!!!!
