Falling in Reverse took a new direction back on the album Fashionably Late and it was the best decision for them because Ronnie Radke took the band in the direction he wanted to for years

[@jamesmoncrief728]

I agree. Their early stuff was very different. Like, Pick Up the Phone.

[@Hellavit]

James Moncrief Falling In Reverse has done the heaviest of heavy to the poppiest of pop. They’ve brought rap, edm, and a lot more elements to their music and it all sounds really good.

Its the buildup. I love this song but what is amazing to me is the buildup from the slow rap, or talking, to a faster rap, to screamo then ronnie hits you with some singing.

[@shannonmanning6166]

Gotta love it when reactors are direct and honest, instead of fangirling to please fans of the band. I find this tune remarkable, but I certainly find it refreshing when somebody doesn't agree, and explains exactly what wasn't pleasing to them. Thanks, guys. Respect.

[@BowsersreactionPit]

Thanks you !

[@mahuna10]

Couldn't help but let out a massive eye roll when you said "this sounds like a song the crappy radio station would play around here"

[@sportosp-0158]

Funny that you say that because the very next day I decided to listen to something other than talk radio and I literally heard this on the local rock station haha... Glad that I got to react to it first but, it is getting a lot of radio play. It is not the song, nor the band's fault, that most of the radio stations out there stink. Ours here happen to be crappy, and play this song quite a bit now that I'm listening for it. It is what it is. Roll your eyes as you'd like but, it is a fact.

[@Mahunashizzle]

@@sportosp-0158 it's less about whether or not the radio plays the song, it's the implication that if the radio plays the song, it must be bad. Just goes to show even metalheads have their hipsters.

[@sportosp-0158]

@@Mahunashizzle Well, you clearly saw that I liked the song. But, let's face it; the music that is marketable for mass consumption nowadays sounds very similar to this formula in a lot of ways. It is unfortunate if a good song goes overlooked because someone chooses to ignore it just because it's on the radio but, I'm not one of those people as you can tell. This song did stand out to me among all the others which is what led me to making the comments in the video that I did.

Glad u guys gave this a chance. Ronnie is a genius. They can morph into so many different sounds.

[@Adam_Love_Syck]

The chorus/hook is supposed to be the repetitive part so I guess I'm not quite understanding why that's an issue. From a song writing and structure aspect, I think it's a pretty solid formula myself. But I like to write catchy, digestable music myself. I like a simpler style verse to lure them in with the story, smack them with a catchy hook, and then when we get to a breakdown or something heavier in the song then that's where we really drive the musicality side home. Good review.

[@dianasaetern]

The red hair guy gets it. Good reaction. Falling in reverse - Voices in my head came out a month ago. You guys should react to it. It’s so good. You guys would enjoy it

[@tyranttyrant8035]

Also the bald dude idk his name he's kinda in a completely different area of focus this song isn't about being heavy or being catchy this song and Losing My Mind and Losing My Life are to spread a message about Ronnie Radkes past and how he's moved on from it and people always bring it up makes him mad

[@sirundying]

its not about making him mad or ppl bringing that shit back all the time. i think its more his own therapy of dealing with who he is and how ppl see him ( popular icon, an idol for many ( and for different reasons for ppl )). also the way he bring the subject of his daughter often i also think its his way of telling her his mistakes so that when she grow older and start reading those lyrics she will really see how he felt etc etc.

[@Voldrani]

What I like about you guys is that you’re genuine. Everything you say in your reaction videos really shows how deep you guys are in music (specifically metal of course). And I love that you guys are open to the “new stuff” like this one by Falling in Reverse. I personally am a huge fan of this band Falling in Reverse and have watched a lot of reactions videos regarding this song specifically. And by far, this reaction video of your’s is one of the most genuine ones I’ve watched for this song. 👌🏼 P.S. I do listen to old stuff too and that’s why I understand your opinions on newer songs like this.

It's the same as with Louis. He's so preoccupied with showing how hard he is ("too much soft in between") that he can't appreciate how incredibly well done the buildups are and that the song really needed that balance to work and get the message across.

[@DennGreenIII]

You know, for the life of me I just can never understand the whole "this sounds radio" argument. I mean in a lot of ways it's a compliment really. That's pretty much just saying anyone can listen to it no matter what your genre is and it'll sound good. It almost sounds like a copout to be honest lol it's like saying "man I really don't want to like this but I kind of do", I don't think it's doing the artist, or music in general, any justice. Also I completely agree with the guy on the left personally on just about everything he said, and I appreciate the honesty of the guy on the right and glad he did find it to be mostly enjoyable.

[@kanadiankilla26]

The chorus adds a balance to the song that cant be underestimated, there is a lot of substance to this song, in the composition, the vocals the structure and everything. What is radio metal anyway, having boxes to put things in is never a good idea.

[@michaelescorcia7248]

I think that the big guy didn’t have the most open mind with this song, not by choice, but because he’s used to liking a certain genre and sound. We tend to shut down once we don’t hear what we typically find appeasing, nothing major. I will say that as artist, what we strive for is to : a) make music that makes up happy b) make music that others would like c) make music that can sell and d) take the listener on an emotional journey. A full serious tone would be very generic and one tone, I believe that the changes from verse to pre chorus to chorus etc. is what give the listener that journey through sound and allows all types of people to enjoy this music.

[@VishalKobla]

2:03 "you liking this? I'm liking this!"

[@JeremeDavis]

The lead singer for Falling In Reverse, Ronnie, was the lead singer for Escape The Fate before he was incarcerated and the band ditched him, during his incarceration he formed the new band Falling In Reverse. I'm a big fan of his vocal range and ability, the last few years he has really switched it up.

[@jesseparedes867]

Tom MacDonald sounds like Ronnie Radke! Ronnie has been in the games for years back to his Escape The Fate days.

[@tpayne8294]

Ronnie Radke (lead singer of Falling in Reverse) was the original singer of Escape the Fate and was replaced when he was sent to prison for killing someone. Check out the guillotine by Escape the Fate, totally worth a listen.

He had a stream where he reacted to bunch of people who reacted on this song, and though most of em liked it, he still tried to find negative reactions or criticisms. You guys have appreciated the song and gave criticisms and suggestions on it too, and he wants hear things like this for him to improve himself. I mean, I don't want to assume that, that was his purpose for searching criticisms, but that's what I think he always do.

[@BowsersreactionPit]

Thank you! That would be awesome if he did🤘

[@theflawedkid]

What's the matter with some of the commenters, it's Bowser and Sporto's opinion. Plus, from what I've seen they've kinda liked it. FIR got a lot of other 'heavier' songs. FIR is obviously aiming for radio plays, they're under an active major label, plus they've been headlining tours. I agree about the chorus is too catchy or a bit melodic, that it sounds somehow poppy, it's true, FIR meant it to sound that way. Sporto would dig a lot of FIR's other serious songs if he's into that specific topic. I also agree that a lot of bands these days fused different genres, I hate a lot of songs by FIR but I also like plenty of their songs, their sound differs with each album, so I guess it's up to them if they want to check some of it. I can see where Bowser and Sporto are coming from, I don't want to be biased just because I've enjoyed the band for a long time.

[@sportosp-0158]

Thanks a ton for the support. I did like it on the first listen through here and have really begun to like it even more on subsequent listens. Do you have a specific song of theirs you'd suggest I check out? Or we can do another reaction to? I'm trying not to dig too deeply on my own for the sake of not spoiling possible future reactions. So as of this comment; This is still the only song of theirs I have listened to. Thanks a ton again!

I have never been a big fan of rap, but the way Ronnie does it with the music in the background helped a lot. As for the chorus, it is a chorus, it is supposed to be done more than once. I do agree I wish the heavier breakdown part had been a little bit longer and that a guitar had made more of an appearance. But, all in all I love the song. You really should watch the three before this IN ORDER, "Loosing My Mind", "Loosing My Life" & "Drugs". All four of these tell an ongoing story.

I can go through countless channels and never find them but I also live on the east coast so it's not considered local and again not popular enough to even be on our stations. I think it's sad.

[@sportosp-0158]

@@RoxxyFly When I said "local radio" I don't mean that I'm from anywhere near where the band's home location is; I mean my local radio. "Popular" radio is subjective since any rock station is going to be popular in that local area if that is all we have. So, I can only imagine that if they'll play this song on a station in BFE Wisconsin where I'm from, then it probably would get play in bigger cities and areas as well (at least I would guess it would). And satellite radio doesn't necessarily count.. I've had it before and their selection and rotation suck. I try to listen to radio stations from other areas streaming online, like 97.9 WCPR from the gulf coast. They have a pretty good variety actually P.S. I am the guy here in this reaction lol.
