I'm glad they made this and explained a lot of the lyrics because if you haven't noticed, so many people think almost every song on the record is entirely about Danny and obviously that's not true at all. It's actually quite annoying.

I love Asking Alexandria so much, their music makes me happy. Ben is actually a really sensible, talented person and his tweets are literally the best and I always make me smile/laugh and it makes my day 100 times better whenever he likes my tweets. I've never gotten the chance to go to one of their shows due to distance and other problems but I do hope one day I'll get to see them live. The entire band holds a special place in my heart and they are my favorite band.

I think there's some gimmicks in this that you see every band these days doing though. Like the part where they talk about the fans it feels a bit gimmicky to me, like they're exaggerating it in an attempt to sell the album. I mean this video is meant to promote the album and get people to buy it on first week, Because those numbers really matter in the music industry

@blueskythinking4745 8 жыл бұрын

@ju2tic3 8 жыл бұрын

Karolyn Matías Denis has a weak voice, he lacks depth and struggles with hitting notes (to the extent where he harmonizes his voice instead of actually attempting to hit notes, which is why he struggles to sing any songs not written by him or arent in his normal vocal range as he relies on how good his voice sounds instead of actual skill) he is a decent singer, but nothing special like people make him out to be, he certainly doesnt compare to Danny whom has one of the widest ranges out their now and can actually sing with his pure voice (I know many of his live performances were below avg with AA, but he was drunk and alcohol is not good for your throat at the best of times, let alone screaming which is why dennis isnt allowed to drink alcohol before live performances - all you have to do is look at his tribute song with Suicide silence or his live performances with We are harlot to know he has a wide vocal range - Dennis, not so much), AA new album isnt bad, but for someone who wants something a little more than your avg. scene kid emo band, it sucked Show less The album music is simple and basic, and sounds just as generic as any other metalcore band right now, lyrically, it was weak and all of the band members seem depressed... AA may have a few yrs left, but Danny leaving was the nail in the coffin
