Asking Alexandria


Description


Summary: Back with their self-titled fifth and most incendiary album. Every bit of history, swagger, and tumult is brilliantly mined to full throttle extent on the band's most ambitious album yet.

"Asking Alexandrias største problem har altid været deres skizofrene udtryk i lyd og udstråling. Bandet har aldrig været nok 'core, til at 'core-miljøet for alvor har accepteret dem, og stadig for hårde i udtryk til at skabe en solid grobund i det mere pop-rockede miljø. Lige meget hvordan man angriber bandets skifte i udtryk, er det en fornuftig udvikling. Det hjælper naturligvis, at 'Asking Alexandria' er et godt og velskrevet album. Kvintetten har med få undtagelser fuldstændigt styr på at skrive ørehængende kompositioner med en moderne lyd og masser af intensitet".

"The York quintet are the model of an If-You-Like-This-Sort-of-Thing band - huge, monolithic sheets of sound, precision-tooled to get large crowds putting their hands in the air. The formula is shaken up - a furious Slipknot-esque break is put in the middle of Into the Air; Hopelessly Hopeful and When the Lights Come On dial down the metal and ramp up the pop - but you're never more than a couple of minutes away from some preposterous chorus. It doesn't sound like Def Leppard, but it is reminiscent of that band's willingness to smooth off metal's rough edges and boost the melodies".
