\"\"Falling In Reverse<\/strong> will, hopefully, never exhaust their plethora of opinions on the world as we know it. Time to take a step in reverse, reflect on their heavier roots and revive what brought Radke and co. to the fore.<\/p>\n

Having settled the score with Escape The Fate, \u2018Just Like You\u2019<\/em> is intended as a \u2018sequel\u2019 to Radke-era \u2018Dying Is Your Latest Fashion\u2019<\/em>, embracing a return to guttural growls and destroying riffs. But it\u2019s the cheesy quips and novelty tracks that hang in the balance \u2013 can they simultaneously juggle their radio-ready reputation?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Title track \u2018Just Like You\u2019<\/em> proves just that \u2013 its contagious pop energy alongside the toe-tapping \u2018Get Me Out\u2019<\/em> brings back the best of \u2018Fashionably Late\u2019<\/em>. However, the effect is temporary, stepping aside for the metalcore cry for help \u2018Chemical Prisoner\u2019<\/em>, which shines in the hands of shredder Jacky Vincent\u2019s consistently flawless performance. The defiant and relentless Falling In Reverse<\/strong> is back with a vengeance.<\/p>\n

The fantastically dark \u2018Stay Away\u2019<\/em> could have well done without the vulgar \u2018Good Girls Bad Guys\u2019<\/em> vibe of \u2018Sexy Drug\u2019<\/em>, distracting from Vincent\u2019s heart-stopping solos throughout \u2018My Heart\u2019s To Blame\u2019<\/em> and \u2019Wait And See\u2019<\/em>. As a scathing commentary on modern life, the latter replaces egotistical raps with a tongue-in-cheek suggestion that \u201call these kids just feel the need to cut themselves on the wrist\u201d<\/em>. However, embracing the quirks of iconic metalcore with a techy invasion and towering crowd chants, this track paves the way for the fast-paced punishing \u2018Die For You\u2019<\/em>, bursting with energy and venom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is your last warning, I\u2019m not the same\u201d<\/em>, spits the cautionary \u2018Stay Away\u2019<\/em>. It\u2019s true, Falling In Reverse<\/strong> are not the same. There\u2019s no \u2018Alone\u2019<\/em> to be found, as the out-of-place rapping is transferred to Radke\u2019s solo project. On balance, however, the tame reflections of lead single \u2018God If You Are Above\u2026\u2019<\/em> showcase a previously unexplored emotional depth. As punishing as the first three, \u2018Guillotine IV (The Final Chapter)\u2019<\/em> voices a testament to their buried hatchet with Escape The Fate that remains six feet under – a welcome return to the aggressive vibe shows Ronnie has by no means forgotten his roots.<\/p>\n

Although somewhat watered down by the strain of \u2018The Bitter End\u2019<\/em>, Radke\u2019s phenomenally driven vocals burst free with every track, but none more so than the unexpectedly solemn \u2018Brother\u2019<\/em>, which touches on far deeper relatable emotions than the likes of \u2018Drifter\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Keep Holding On\u2019<\/em>. Questioning \u201cwhy is it always stormy weather?\u201d<\/em>, the heartbreakingly reflective piano track closes the record on a valuable message \u2013 \u201chold onto the ones you love\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world as we know it is a motherfucking battleground\u201d<\/em> and Falling In Reverse<\/strong> are here to reassure you that you\u2019re not fighting on our own. In fact, they\u2019re \u2018Just Like You\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4\/5<\/p>\n

\u2019Just Like You\u2019<\/em> by Falling In Reverse<\/strong> is out now on Epitaph Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
