You just want to fight and cover the guy in front of you. 5FDP albums always seem to be an anthem packed barrage of Armed Forces songs. The tempo is on point and the hooks are many. We start off with, Got Your Six a killer opener with Ivan and his distinct voice and style. With that said, let’s have some fun with this killer album!
There was no way to resist the temptation and my life is rather chaotic at the moment. I regret to inform you that I have broken that model. I want the raw emotion to hopefully find its way to the page unfiltered by time or prejudice. When I write it I want you to feel as though you are listening with me. Both of which, by the way, I would freaking lose my mind to see! Without any hesitation I dive head first into an album I have been absorbing for weeks now.Īnyone who reads my reviews knows that I really like to get a first play through, on the spot honest review. They are in that small category alongside Slipknot. Such is the case with 5FDP however, I have yet to have the honor of seeing them live. You know the ones I mean, we all have them and cherish them and shell out the big bucks to go see them. The good, the bad, and the…well… Amazing life changing bands that seem as though they are singing and playing just for me. From there, as with all metalheads, I had to listen to all forms of metal. It was a magical time in my life, the birth of the metalhead in me. Oh, the light that shined in my eyes the first time I heard Hit the Lights. My Mom played Bee Gees and The Carpenters and other such 70’s pop junk that just made me ill. Before this I thought music was just boring and kind of pointless. Then I saw Black Sabbath, Ozzy and Randy Rhoads, Alice Cooper with all his theatrics, and then the fire that cinched up my music choices for decades and beyond was Metallica’s Kill Em All. All the makeup, the stage presence, the incredible marketing machine that steamrolled the world. Man, “what a crazy group of guys,” I thought to myself. When I was kid I remember the first time I saw KISS. There are those bands in life that define us.
