Five Finger Death Punch - The Way Of The Fist


Woah
That's pretty much this album summed up in one word. Awesome melody, vocals, composition, everything really. This is one the best albums I've heard in a LONG time, and I'm sure most people will agree with me. Being a groove/thrash metal band, I wasn't really expecting much, just the usual stuff. I more or less just got the album because the band had a funny name. But well the band don't seem to be out there to make people laugh. Funnily enough, the singer used to be the singer for Motograter, whose album I got because they painted themselves and sounded funny. It turns out Motograter were pretty dam serious as well unfortunately... but for those Motograter fans out there, if such things do exist, then well the vocalist is pretty much the same, just he uses harsh vocals a lot more then before but anyway the songs tend to be 2/3 harsh vocals 1/3 singing, most of which is done during the choruses. The songs have a good amount of guitar solos, though I'm not too keen on their guitar solos for sum reason. The lyrics are those classic metal lyrics that talk about the problems they have with other people and themselves. Well on the most part anyway.

In conclusion, this album is DEFINTLY worth buying no matter which type of metal you like....unless you ONLY like grindcore or something...I would give it 5/5 stars, BUT I give it 4.5/5 because I feel its just kinda missing that extra something, and so it JUST misses the "one of the best albums ever" mark. Still, it's worth buying.
