Album review by Luci Scott
Falling In Reverse has always been a band that defies expectations, and their latest album is no exception. With a blend of genres that pushes the boundaries of rock, they once again prove why they’re at the forefront of the scene.
The standout track for many, ‘All My Life’ is a collaboration with country music giant Jelly Roll, and it’s nothing short of a crossover triumph. The song has dominated the charts, holding the No. 1 spot at Active Rock radio for five consecutive weeks and topping the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs chart for seven weeks. The blend of Ronnie Radke’s raw energy with Jelly Roll’s heartfelt country charm creates a twangy anthem that resonates across genres.
Another highlight is ‘No Fear’ a track that showcases the band’s versatility by diving into full trap rap vibes towards the end. It’s a bold move that works brilliantly, showing that Falling In Reverse can not only traverse different genres but can also dominate them. This ability to mix metal, melody, and hip-hop is what makes the album so dynamic and engaging.
The album, Popular Monster named after their certified 3x ARIA Platinum single, is a testament to Ronnie Radke’s vision and the band’s relentless evolution. With several RIAA-certified gold singles, a double-platinum title track, and collaborations with artists like Tech N9ne and Alex Terrible of Slaughter to Prevail, the album is a sonic journey that feels fresh and unpredictable.
Falling In Reverse’s reach is undeniable, with their catalog amassing over 6 billion streams and maintaining a strong presence on platforms like TikTok, where their songs continue to inspire millions of creations.
For long-time fans and newcomers alike, this album is a must-listen. Each track offers something different, showcasing the band’s ability to master various genres while keeping their signature edge. The live performances of these new tracks have been making waves on social media, leaving fans like myself eager for an Australian tour. Having personally not seen them live since 2016, the anticipation is high, and this album only amplifies that excitement.
In a world where music is often confined to genre lines, Falling In Reverse breaks free, delivering an album that’s as diverse as it is powerful. This is more than just music; it’s an experience, and one that should not be missed.
