Album Review
The second full-length album by U.K.-based metalcore outfit Asking Alexandria features all their established trademarks, particularly their blend of downtuned, thrashy riffing and outbursts of dancefloor-friendly synth and drum machine, as well as their (typical for the screamo/metalcore genre) multiple vocal styles: harsh, hoarse screams and guttural death metal growls alternate with choirboy crooning on the choruses. Some of the songs are moderately catchy, particularly "A Lesson Never Learned," "The Match," and "Someone, Somewhere," the latter of which features no "extreme" vocals at all and seems like a straight-up bid for rock radio. Other tracks are built of nothing but chugga-chugga riffs and ferocious roars, guaranteed to thrill the teenagers who are the band's primary audience. What separates Asking Alexandria from most of their peers is an awareness of classic rock & roll dynamics — some of the riffs they write are straightforward updates of Guns N' Roses or Skid Row (two of whose songs they covered on their Life Gone Wild EP), and they're as interested in getting listeners singing along as moshing.
Customer Reviews
First One!
Sickest band alive...these guys are gonna be legends! They have changed the game forever. Their music is beyond amazing!! Love you guys!
Meh :/
I was really looking forward to this CD and it was quite a disappointment. The vocals aren't as good and the whole "rock n' roll" vibe doesn't go well with metalcore. Still a couple good songs though. I wish they would've stuck with the whole techno metal vibe on the last CD, it was alot more unique and catchy. :/
Shocking Sophomore Effort
Reckless and Relentless sure holds up to its name. When i heard the album title, i thought AA was just giving a false hope to fans that they might stay heavy. I was convinced Asking Alexandria was heading towards a lighter, more pop-infused sound...exactly like blessthefall did for their sophomore debut. I was dead wrong.
While there is definitely a stronger presence of clean vocals, the onslaught of techno breakdowns that littered Stand Up and Scream is almost virtually gone...which I'm quite satisfied with.
Other then that, there's little other notable change from their first album, which i think is exactly what AA fans wanted.
Asking Alexandria, i foresee many headlining tours and lots of AP magazine coverage in your near future!! Way to go guys!!!
