Nah Bad Girls Club is awesome, funny and catchy. I don't get the hate for that song, to me it's like the only thing on this album that sounds self-aware and tongue-in-cheek



Born to Lead is one of the stronger tracks for sure though. I've gotta listen to this again in full, pretty sure I just 1'd it after hearing Alone when it came out lol



Although this album featured big departures for the band with the rap and dubstep...stuff...it also stepped in the musicianship big time in the rock/metal parts. Born to Lead solo is some wild shredding for instance

See that’s the thing, I’m not sure it was tongue in cheek. Agreed though, when the albums good it’s pretty damn fun

OK I've gotta be honest I've been jamming this thing all week LOL



I never really gave it a proper chance, when it came out I just really wanted DIYLF but heavier or something more in line with the first album, but this album is actually really great if you don't take it too seriously. The musicianship does shine in certain areas, the production is really good, and the album overall just has really good pop sensibilities and has absolutely infectiously good hooks.



Champion, Rolling Stone, Born to Lead, and Where Have You Been all feature parts that honestly may be better post-hardcore than what was on the first album or DIYLF. Some of Jacky Vincent's leads here are super good, Born to Lead has awesome guitar work and it's sad the band lost him. The other pop/rap parts I just kind of don't take too seriously and enjoy the catchiness. I also had it in my head that this was like a rap/hip-hop album in the majority, and it's really not. It's definitely still a rock album with these other genres mixed in, with Alone being the biggest departure (and also definitely the worst song on the album).



I'm also kind of down with how the second half of this is basically a pop-punk EP. Tracks 7-11 seriously sound like Ronnie just wanted to put his own spin on some of the big pop artists of the early 2000s like Avril Lavigne and Enema/TOYPAJ blink-182. Even the title track is pretty much in this vein.



It's definitely obnoxious, definitely all over the place, but also kinda rules the whole way through tbh



So yeah 3.5/5

Seeing that people are going hard on over reactionary Ronnie for not liking his shit music is just the light at the end of the tunnel. Not even his butt buddy Finn McKenty can save him in his comments.

idk why but "Following this gem of a track is 'Bad Girls Club' and this is where I legitimately had to stop listening" is one of the funniest sentences I've ever read in a sputnik review

"Game Over" is what really cements this album from being so bad its good to just straight up awful. Who the hell thought that was a good idea, even with the excuse of "Ronnie Radke" is beyond me.

Finn is an absolute clown show. bro's out here whining about metalcore being the ubisoft of music and then praising bands for just having women in their music videos no matter how butt the music is lol

I'm watching the Brad Taste in Music video on this album and it's way worse than I could have ever imagined. Legitimately one of the worst albums I've ever heard. I love Ronnie-era Escape the Fate but Jesus Christ I don't understand how anybody could like him and his band today.

Every Falling in Reverse album has been pretty bad, but he seems to have surprisingly hit a bit of a stride with his post 2020 singles.. Popular Monster, Zombified, Voices in My Head and Watch the World Burn have all been pretty solid compared to everything previously and have been VERY successful.

So I heard Ronnie got rid of his twitter. I thought Ronnie was hard and the Death metal singers were soft like he said. Did he go limp? tisk tisk Ronnie
