Like a house on fire

"Like A House On Fire is not a metal album. Nor was 2017's self-titled effort ... the album did have the odd genuinely heavy moment like the metalcore throwback passages of Eve, but Like A House On Fire has no regression and absolutely no screams. However, if you like the side of the band that's all about bombastic, roof-raising anthems, then you're spoiled for choice ... Like A House On Fire is an album that ebbs, flows and branches into numerous shapes and directions. It's also yet another Asking Alexandria album that will divide opinion. And, once again, the band themselves are unlikely to care".

"Hvis ikke 'Asking Alexandria' var det, så er 'Like a House on Fire' indiskutabelt pladen, der sætter bandets fans foran den store udfordring: Følge eller ikke følge? Der er ingen tvivl om, at det er slut med metalcore. At Asking Alexandria er midtsøgende i deres sangskrivning og har kørt de store kanoner i stilling for at opnå en position som moderne rockband. Desværre er bandets sjette fuldlængdeudgivelse ikke den velkomponerede fornøjelse, der for alvor kunne skyde briterne op i den tunge liga".
