      Holy fuck, Asking Alexandria is badass!!! This album is one of my top 5 favorite metal albums of all time, and one of my top 25 albums (of any genre) of all time. At first glance, if you aren't ready to open yourself to this style of music, it can come across as a bit annoying, with just a lot of random screaming, crazy guitar breaks, and auto-tuned vocal hooks. BUT FUCK, if you really take the time to listen to the album, analyze it from a musical standpoint, from a production standpoint, from a pure energy standpoint, from the standpoint of something that will revolutionize my life personally, then this album is fucking retardedly good. I'm not even going to take the time to point out the best tracks, since the entire album is pretty ridiculous. What I will say, is that the first half of most songs leaves a bit to be desired, but then ALL of the songs end with AMAZING creations musically. So yeah, go check out this album, it's absolutely brilliant in my opinion.
