five finger death punch got your six review

I tend to forget that he has some pretty awesome musicians behind him. I don’t commonly talk about lyrics in my reviews. His lyrics are so bad that I’m actually mentioning them. I think it’s because I find Ivan Moody to be the biggest tool of the industry, and the band could probably do better without him. I was rather pessimistic before getting this album. Of course the album has to end the way it began, with a less than intelligent track called Boots and Blood, but I choose to forget this track exists. Question Everything, Hell To Pay, Meet My Maker and the albums ballad Digging My Own Grave continue to impress me and show me that Five Finger Death Punch are going in the right direction. No Sudden Movements is placed smack dab in the middle of Got Your Six (unless you got the bonus track edition of the album) so there are still some good metal tunes with great melodies that follow. It took a few listens for me to feel this song belongs on Got Your Six, but now that I’ve accepted it, I find it to be one of the better heavy tracks in the bands entire catalogue, despite the lyrics “click, clack, reload” repeated in its chorus. It shows Five Finger Death Punch‘s roots.

The lyrics are still lame, but thankfully the music and melody do enough talking to make the songs special.Įven No Sudden Movement, the one insensibly heavy track in the middle of these melodic tracks, sounds pretty solid as a modern groove metal track. This continues with the tracks This Ain’t My Last Dance and My Nemesis. Five Finger Death Punch show me that they have actually improved melodically and musically. As soon as I got about five seconds into the chorus of Wash It All Away I officially gave Got Your Six a clean slate, and rightfully so.

Thankfully after these two opening tracks, Got Your Six starts to really get somewhere. Not to say I didn’t like the track at first listen, because I did, just it’s nothing new by any stretch. This song didn’t have me excited for the album, but I got it anyway, and when I turned it on, the opening track, which is also the title track Got Your Six, was even more generic. I found it to be just another display of music that was heavy for the sake of being heavy, with no help from Ivan Moody‘s generic lyrics about hating people and wanting to harm them, very typical of the band. The first track Five Finger Death Punch released from Got Your Six a few months before the album’s release was Jekyll and Hyde and I was far from impressed. Now, barely over two years since the release of part 1, Five Finger Death Punch have released yet another collection of new tracks called Got Your Six (I’ll give you a guess how many albums the band has now) but do the metal giants show that they are capable of writing worthwhile songs in such a short amount of time? You can read my reviews for both, part 1 here and part 2 here, and you can see which one I reviewed favourably and which one I didn’t. There was, of course, the two releases in 2013, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side Of Hell Volumes 1 and 2. Five Finger Death Punch‘s way of maintaining their spot as one of the top acts in modern metal is by releasing album after album.
