*Sigh*... alright one more time.

Medicate 3/5: an ok song but really disjointed and i think the mixing is really bad on this one

Coming through the Stereo: 2/5: Just pathetic, lyrics are really bad

Ghost Out: 2/5: boring, and j3t's vocals seem to be getting worse with every release of theirs

Gonna be Ok: 2/5: lyrics are bad and vocals are just lame

Monsters 2/5: I actually laughed with j3t trying, keyword is trying, to sing when he really cant sing worth shit. Lyrics are skin level deep. 

Idol 2.5/5: cringe, Tech's verse and the drop are listenable, everything else is just bad

Coming Home 3.5/5: Decent enough for once, but thats not good enough to make up for the shit show that happened before.

Unholy 2/5: boring and lyrics are laughable

Worth it 1/5: Man what in the actually fuck is this? The chorus is bad and the versus are standard fare for them.

Overall score: 2/5.

Man this one feels like a b-sides cutting room floor, Vol. 1 showed so much promise for them, but this just shits the bed. This is coming from a person that used to like them at one point, it's sad to see how bad they've gotten. DOTD was horrible, V was meh, and Vol 1 was a nice return to a somewhat form. This is just a disappointment.

I think they need to just hang it up, things are only getting worse from here.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said is wrong.

dgd make me horny, sorry not sorry

that sexy ass bass near the end confirmed my erection

Now this shit slaps.

I love the tranquil smooth funky vocals and instrumentation in the intro and the slow guitar picking from Sergio like his work in Sianvar transitioning to some melodic highs from Tilian and that CHORUS, Afterburner AOTY also calling it

DGD are so consistent, bless this fucking mess

Let's break some HU fans and I guess start some debates. 

 

Hollywood Undead New Empire Reaction:

Time bomb - Nah

Heart of a champion - ok

Already dead - ooof

Empire - eh

Killin it - k why?

Enemy - Alright.

Upside down - Why the hell he sounds like the guy from Sleeping with Sirens. Ok track tho

Second Chances - Average. almost SWS voice again

Nightmare - Very good instrumental I like that beat. I like the chorus. Ok track other than that.

 

The only good track on this 'album' is Nightmare. dang. Not to mention they released a track of production went to crap but took them about a day and half to fix. Great release HU can't wait for vol . 2

 

Did you miss the info when it stated that Kellin Quinn was going to be on Upside Down along with Benji Madden on Second Chances? That's why he sounds like "the guy from Sleeping with Sirens"

Also, there's plenty of variety on here unlike Breaking Benjamin who as much as I like them literally have the EXACT SAME FUCKING SONG and chord progressions every time. In Ember, the only track that separated itself was 'The Dark of You' because it added a moment of reprieve with a soft, melodic track like Ashes of Eden did for Dark Before Dawn which qualifies as mostly average. Feed the Wolf is a banger though. But, meh, we all have opinions.

Ok, let's be real with ourselves here. Who knows how much of their instrumentals or vocal patterns are usually written by themselves, but this album is straight up ghostwritten and it's so obvious and it shows so easily especially in tracks 6-8 (which are actually not bad at all, zero HU identity aside). If it was 2012 and you paused me jamming King For A Day by PTV and told me that Kellin Quinn would ever be on a HU song I'd tell you to shut the fuck up and fuck off, yet here we are, the most risecore/fearless HU album to date, where they don't even feel like themselves besides the verses on the first half of the album, the borderline satire/parody track that is Killin' It (jesus fuck that was hard to listen to) or the closer where the guys suddenly decided to "show off" their Eminem impersonations. Anyways, this is still arguably better than their last two-three albums.

The only moment of ghost-writing in this record is Jorel's verse in Nightmare which he went out on a limb to mention on Instagram that Fudd Rukus, one of his fellow rapper friends wrote for him but since he acknowledged it, it's not exactly ghostwritten and those are just lyrics, as for the instrumentation work, they said they would step their game up since they have Luke Holland doing drums. The rest of it is all of them, baby like they always do. Each member works on their own part like it's been since the beginning, just because there's an upscale of quality doesn't mean it's suddenly not their work lmao. They've always been about evolution so they don't have an exact sound to not sound like themselves as Johnny mentioned in interviews, they'll always supply versatility to ensure things don't grow stale.

Additionally, Killin' It is what Another Level should have been and Funny actually doing screams or close enough to it is a nice touch.

Solid release, just wish they would've gave us the other 5 songs for the full album experience, 9 songs seems hella short, all but one I liked.

There's going to be an extra 9+ songs on Volume 2 which will be released in June or maybe earlier with a little help from my KL friends. Danny said they were aiming to get at least 20 songs out due to the overflow of material they had recorded. 

This is some of the most impressive material they've made in their entire career. Excellent job, boys.

@Bored To Death Yeah, my bad, dude. It's just a common thing to expect whenever HU is on here. The reception is a lot more pleasant than I anticipated lol.

Here comes the edgy prick brigade that feel the need to express even the slightest modicum of discontent toward anything this group does. We understand they're polarising and you don't get their music, that doesn't make them inherently bad. Question is why venture onto a posting of a band you despise just to complain? You must have very sad lives.

@KillMe2018  You took lyrics from a party song, well done. Not exactly gonna be thought provoking is it?

S.C.A.V.A.

Here's the massacre
A mausoleum fit for me
Lived a hundred years, 
A hundred years I didn't see
Gave all my hope away
Isn't any left for me?
Bombs are splitting atoms
What can the future bring?
We can fill a million choirs
And wait till children sing
We can walk a million miles
And end up in the sea
And our lungs just keep filling
And lying when we breathe
The world's filled with liars
Liars like me
And I look at my child
It's finite, this feeling
Eyes blue like the sky
I see all of this meaning
I reach up to God and ask if I'm dreaming
I'm so sorry I don't have those things that you're needing
And darling, a kiss
Kiss me I'm leaving

Nobody's Watching

I feel like I'm peaking, I become a beast when
I dig deep inside of myself and let it all out when I conquer these demons
It gives me the freedom, I'm breaking away from these chains
I'm embracing the change and finding the courage to face all this pain
Wealth gives help while the poor die young
It is what is, I won't hold my tongue
Dad died poor, what did that give me?
Strength inside, now the question lies
How you measure my value, I wonder
'Cause I've reached the clouds from the gutter
If it's by heart, then I'm breaking the bank
Add up what matters, now do the numbers
It's times like this I feel I'm on the pavement
It's like my heart's so numb
Then I grab that book and turn the pages
And see how far I've come

Hmm...

You know this song is fucking awful when even hardcore HU fans hate it. Lmao.

I'm always dumbfounded by the fact that with every consequent release from this shit band, I still don't know or comprehend who the targeted audience is for this type of music. Yet they get so much attention. Like holy shit.

Why even click on a link to a song from a "shit band" I don't even like these guys that much but they're not half as bad as you and some of the folks from Sputnik continuously point out. Try Brokencyde or Blood on the Dance Floor. HU is just mediocre hip hop/pop/rock for people that don't give a shit because their music is "fun" it's not insanely technical like DGD, it's just something to put on and laugh at yourself a bit with.

I apologize you like them and I don't lmao. But they are so cringey. "I got one more bottle of jack what the fuck are we gonna do with it- (lets get fucked up!)" oh my goddd HU is so baddddd. Terrible group with a good lead singer who's wasting his talent and true potential. He just stuck in the band bc they're popular with the emo kids and he afraid of risk. 

Maybe because that's a party song, of course they're gonna have cringy lyrics because they're just trying to have a good time, you're a moron for actually thinking they're serious. Check songs like S.C.A.V.A. for proper lyrics which other artists like Syn and Matt from A7X actually complimented but you do you.
