Hollywood Undead - Five | Album Review

[@artvjon]

Desperate Measures is NOT A STUDIO ALBUM. You people claim to be fans, you don't even know it's a LIVE ALBUM. Rant over.

[@arcanemaster8722]

ARTV Ikr. They wouldn’t be stupid enough to name the album “Five” yet have six albums.

[@yslfitz]

Desperate measures is half and half but it's not a real studio album.

[@champgreen9985]

SundazeTV not even half they had a handful of new songs

[@arcanemaster8722]

Literally just Dove and Grenade, Tear It Up, And El Urgencia. The covers don’t count imo

[@zyyro724]

ARTV no desperate measures does not count. Has a few songs but not really an album

[@atlascinematics]

I guess I understand what you mean but the way I see it, if it sounds good, if it has meaning, I like it Even if it is cheesy Notes and Five are my favorite albums from these guys and I really don't understand the negativity towards so much of their music But that's just my opinion, at least you're not ripping on them

[@ElliYeetYT]

I’m not a mega fan of this album, but “California Dreaming” is probably one of the band’s best songs in a long time.

[@wyattriley4825]

As my favorite band, I like all their music. But I can be objective and point out flaws. This album is much better than Day of the Dead, and I think it's on par with American Tragedy. It has some cheesy moments but I'm really liking it. But I respect your opinions Jon and can understand them completely!!

[@atlascinematics]

Wyatt Riley I like your reply and I completely agree

[@VIISkies]

I've been listening to Hollywood Undead since 2009 and personally, V is by far my favorite album by Hollywood Undead, beating my previous favorite in American Tragedy. I'll admit that Day of the Dead as an album fell rather flat with a couple notable songs, but V is just all around amazing. Danny's vocal performance in this album feels a lot more polished here than in previous albums, he's not just doing the chorus like he always does, he even got a full song to himself in Ghost Beach, like how Deuce got his own full song in This Love, This Hate. Everyone got involved in this album, and I personally adore the EDM songs(I listen to a lot of EDM), Riot is one of my absolute favorites off this album purely because the rowdiness and the energy in the song gets me pumped, I'm sure that song will do amazing on tour. The other four members' vocals are noticeably better in this album compared to previous album, J-Dog's rap feels more polished, Charlie's singing is even better than already was as shown in songs like Rain and I'll Be There, Johnny 3's vocals still retain that iconic badass harsh tone fans love, and Funny Man has been involved in more songs in this album alone than I think any of their previous albums, even if it's backup vocals in songs like Bang Bang. Even if you don't like this album as a whole, this album goes to show how far the band has come.

[@mattcannon6474]

Is it just me, or is Notes from the Underground a very underrated album?

[@gurifisu1486]

Its up there with swan songs imo. I think the majority of their fanbase prefer poppy/party songs instead of the hard rock or meaningful songs

[@Cringey_Swine]

It's decent. I still prefer V over NFTU. The problem I had with NFTU is the songs got old for me fast. With V they pushed many different genres and styles and it reminded me of AT. That's just me though.

[@davidnissim589]

It's their best one

[@mlbdude9]

Based off the 4 songs they released prior to the album, it sounded like they were going to go back to a NFTU-sound and leaving the EDM sound behind. Pretty upset that they still use the dance beats. Sounds like they were misleading everyone by releasing only harder rock/rap sounding songs before Five was released. But I’ll figure out how I truly feel when I can hear it on Friday

[@jakemoseby9542]

Alot of the songs are great and even the okay songs are bearable. Except for RIOT. That songs actually awful 😂

[@nxgstorm8008]

Austin Farley they literally released 10 of the 14 songs before the album came out including riot and cash out people knew what was coming if they actually looked and listened to there music

[@PavelGaborik]

Did you even listen to NFTU? Five is a significantly heavier album. Weird comment.

[@kgbiggie9871]

Austin Farley your life and Prey knocked my fucking socks off more than renegade or California Dreaming

[@malcolmmorin]

Hollywood Undead is doing the exact same thing that bands like Linkin Park and Gorillaz are doing, and that's not being restricted to one sound. They are an experimental band. If they did the same thing all the time, it would get boring. It's always refreshing to hear a heavy rock song one minute and an EDM song like Riot the next (which is my favorite song, personally. Gets me fucking pumped). Hollywood Undead is one of those bands that aren't afraid to push the boundaries.

[@Psyteth]

Malcolm Morin they dont push boundaries lol.

[@ABCDEF-ix1qf]

Hollywood Undead is experimental. Wow. Not something I'd ever thought a person would be so astronomically mentally unstable to say. What has happened in your life to lead you to say such a thing? Do you live underground? Are you homeless?

[@ouddaboks9131]

They're experimental but they're definitely not pushing any boundaries lol

[@allhandsondik7803]

I can understand why people don’t like this, but this is one of my favorite albums, it’s above DOTD and American Tradgedy, ties with Swan Songs but nothing beats NFTU. I can even see why people don’t like them, but they’re one of my favorite bands.

[@voldemortak]

I have been a fan of HU ever since American Tragedy and have been overall satisfied with the music they make. I really like that every album is a bit different and the albums themselves are diverse, since I can get bored with a band rather easily and HU manage to keep it fresh with almost every song being a bit different in genre. This goes for the songs where Danny is leading the vocals as well, and I would probably even put Ghost Beach as one of my favourite songs HU have released so far. But everyone has a different taste and I respect, if you expected something else. For me, this was pretty much everything I wanted from them, now I am just waiting for the Europe tour to hear the songs live

[@helpmefindawaytopassthetim8956]

Da Kurlzz left because he wanted to do something else. It sounded like he wasn't getting what he wanted from being in HU. Like he needed something more fulfilling

[@jacoblyons79]

J3T Is GOD He's working on solo music.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodqu5058]

"he wasn't getting what he wanted from being in HU" well l mean he contributed almost nothing to the band so what does he expect to get?

[@PanRobak.]

Mr. Bok he sang almost nothing though it doesn't mean he did almost nothing to the band

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodqu5058]

sebastek321 he contributed absolutely zero instruments or vocals. He wrote some lyrics here and there but that doesn't count because the band also has some outside lyricists writing for them. Should we make Danny Lohner a member as well? Kevin Rudolf produced a song for them, is he a member too?

[@DuctTapeFan922]

Mr. Bok Well sir, that would be called a producer. & artists have lyricists write for them all the time.

[@haydenhumpherys1578]

I loved this album. The variety is something that makes it so great

[@reececamptenmyers6063]

I loved this album ALL THE WAY. And its okay of you some dont like it. Happens in every album

[@arcanemaster8722]

This album was really good imo. The first 5 songs were really great. My favorite songs off the album are California Dreaming, Bad Moon, and Bang Bang. Riot was awful though. Good review though. How do you feel about Bang Bang?

[@shaunreyna9634]

I think I finally get why HU is so polarizing. From what I've heard from most people that don't like their music is that they don't get what their doing genre wise, which 100% makes sense. I think I like them so much because I'm the kind of person whos playlist can go from a song like War Child to some piano songs from like Lucas King or something and I would barely notice, so the different kinds of songs they make are all cool to me. When you look at all their music as a whole I could see how someone could be turned off by the lack of consistency, but I think people who look at each song as their own individual things like them better than people who like to keep a consistent flow when listening to music.

[@Reagbotics]

To me this is by far their best album. It’s so diverse. Nobody’s Watching is one the strongest and powerful song they’ve ever done. I never thought they could pull out a good ballad and I think it’s great. Also love Riot.

[@jabuticabamoments]

I mean, at least the album cover is good.

[@artvjon]

Yeah I like it

[@samuelmercier3635]

Eh but a lot better than the last one

[@RudolfAmbrozVOD]

Is it tho? Really? Just cracks me up really

[@dannymcgoo10]

I completely agree with almost everything you said about this album. It's not bad but it's nothing ground-breaking. The ONLY thing I disagreed with you on was Ghost Beach, I thought it was a chill track with good lyrics but everything else you said was completely accurate in my opinion.

[@williammatthews9976]

Nobody Watching is their most mature song and probably a top 40 hit if they had that strong backing/marketing.

[@gurifisu1486]

If you think it’s their most mature song, I don’t think you’ve listened to a single song from Notes From The Underground... Outside is better.

[@ulyssesharo9223]

As a follower since thier sophomore album I agree 100%. Their material and their sound just isn't as good as their old stuff. American Tragedy is the album I always find myself going back to because it sounds like the most "complete" album in terms of song structure and overall sound. That's just my two cents though if you disagree I will not argue.

[@redpool5324]

Ulysses Haro American Tragedy and Notes From The Underground were their two best albums.

[@connor9295]

Notes is still my favourite HU album of all time, but Five is highly enjoyable. It's different from what fans are used to, but it's still very HU!

[@DamBaker95]

This album i the perfect example of an average album released by a band that's not your favourite, but you find good enough to go to a concert to

[@williampoulin6526]

What did you think about We Own the Night? I personnaly liked it

[@bbb_888]

Which version? Apparently, the album and video versions are slightly different.

[@Cringey_Swine]

It was the best single from the album for me and one of their best songs period.

[@ColesLab]

American Tragedy is probably my favorite album from them. This album is pretty good though, California dreaming, broken record and your life are my favorite songs. As for Riot I think it's a good party song or to hear them play at a concert

[@Bigpalmi]

This is probably they're second best album in my opinion. Whatever it takes is the best. I like bad moon ghost beach your life we own the night renegade bang bang pray and california dreaming

[@Robertfunman12300]

I think the reason for people saying that the older music is better is Duece wrote the songs of Swan songs. Duece knows how to write a song and put emotion into it. Danny's voice is better IMO

[@Psyteth]

Deuce has his moments, but anything since Nine Lives is God awful

[@gurifisu1486]

Swan Songs just has better songs, I feel like danny fanboys listen to it and get offended for liking it because it’s superior to american tragedy

[@lilghovl4688]

I personally can't say i agree with your opinion butbi most certainly respect it. I recently met these guys while they are on tour for "Five" and i got to privitly go onto their tour bus andnit was the best day ever i love them but not everyone does and i get that i think 2.5 is a little harsh but hey. THATS JUST A THEORY... A GAME THEORY

[@brotherscreeds4800]

Dude, it's weird to blame Hu for the fact that half of the album is rock/rapcore, half - hip hop, half - dance, half - sadness. It's Hu, and I love them for variety.

[@davidnissim589]

Half dance, half sadness is literally what HU has been doing since the beginning lol

[@KevynKing]

In my opinion the way that the album "doesn't know what it wants to be" fits perfectly with HU. They're rap, rock, metal, electronic, etc. they're genre is all over the place and that's good. They get happy, sad, angry, etc. Their album should reflect all that. Which it does. I enjoy this album greatly, it is not my favourite HU album, That's NFTU but this is still solid. Also I loved Ghost Beach, it was fresh and didn't take anything away from the album.

[@mcsaundy4596]

the problem looking for something like the diary again is the depression goes away and you never go back to that dark place coz your body don’t let you with healing.

[@mcsaundy4596]

is one of my favourite songs tho

[@gofuckyourself6309]

Deuce dropped an EP titled “NIGHTMARE” on Friday, and even though you grew out of the band I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this one and I’d love to hear you’re input

[@lucillefrancois150]

I do understand why someone wouldn’t like this album given that they seemed to rely on an angry vibe a lot and kinda slide through genres with no real flow to the transition but I still liked it because I actually like the angry vibe as well as their genre shifting. Basically what does it for me I completely understand if it turns others off.

[@PavelGaborik]

Definitely more of an instrumental approach with Five. I think this is their best album yet. Broken Record was a masterpiece, if you can't appreciate that verse you shouldn't be reviewing albums. My .2

[@loganC5743]

agreed, Broken Record and Whatever It Takes are my 2 favorites.

[@TheUltimateShade667]

Theyve always had a couple tracks from each album that I enjoyed, and the rest I forget about. But this album I enjoy listening to at least half the album on a regular basis, so Id say this is my favourite album of theirs.

[@lil_fireball1300]

One of my favorite albums tbh...but I don't hate your opinion on this, everyone has their own tastes with music. I respect your review anc it does make sense. :3 Good review dude! I love hearing others opinions on music!

[@bonafidesawyer9925]

Which album is being reviewed next? The Used or Weezer?

[@artvjon]

Weezer.

[@bonafidesawyer9925]

ARTV Was the album good?

[@TheUpwardSpiral]

There's nothing wrong war child and stuff on day of the dead. One of the most fun songs ever

[@Slythejay]

To be honest I was looking forward to this album after I heard California dreaming but after listening to the whole album, I only like four songs from it. I was dissapointed honestly. My favorite is We Own The Night for sure. Not to sure if you said anything about it but what's your opinion of that song?

[@zacharystewart5344]

Been listening to them since 2009 when everyone was obsessed with swan songs. love this album. I don't think it's at the level of notes but I think it's way better than day of the dead. I love the music production as I love metal rock vibe. I understand why people think they are cheesy though

[@jishwagent]

Honestly I think this is there best album (but I understand it's a little different) but I think it's different in a great way in my opinion, this is the first HU album I've liked every song on, every album I've only liked a few songs, this one I love every song, some more then others, like renegade or riot or probably my least favorites, but I wouldn't skip them, And the Ghost beach song, I think is amazing, Danny has an amazing voice, it's definitely a little odd to only hear him, but it quickly grew on me. Like I said in my opinion this is probably my favorite album, every song is great, again my opinion, I can see why someone wouldn't like them, I actually haven't listened to them really in a year or two, but I just recently saw them live in Billings MT, I wasn't too hyped for this album but it definitely blew the roof off my expectations.

[@calumlamb3508]

Hollywood Undead for me are Jon’s Green Day. They’re the first band I got into so I find it really hard to shake them off. But I don’t get the fans who defend everything they do. I’d say this album is miles better than AT and DOTD but pales in comparison to SS and NFTU. Great review but for me I’d say 3/5 and my favourite was Bang Bang

[@LudiKisobran]

My first Hu song was City, then Street Dreams, then I listened to their other songs. There are some songs on V that I don't like like Ghost Beach, there is Bang Bang and Bad Moon who are my Favorite of the newer songs, people have mixed opinions about this album, I think it's great and I can't wait for more

[@Justinfortune98]

To me danny voice is even better than before and ghost beach was a nice breath of fresh air in my opinion

[@animationdeathwolf5677]

5 out of 5 idc if its cheesy it still gets me pumped up its still good music to me. I like the album

[@leddkunt8904]

Deuce left the band cause he didn’t want to go on tour outside California, just a fun fact, and honestly most of these songs are good i agree riots trash, but cashed out bad moon, black cad, bang bang, they’re my favourited

[@Bigpalmi]

1. Whatever it takes 2. Undead 3. No.5 4. Day of the dead 5. Lights out 6. Hear me now 7. Tear it up 8. We own the night 9. City 10. I don't wanna die Hm: lion california been to hell my town california dreaming bad moon ghost beach your life

[@coolguy6233]

Black Cadillac is my favorite song of the album.

[@fallvegas]

Can't really disagree with much except for danny's voice and another couple points, but I still enjoy the album quite a bit.

[@AndySmirnov-mp4nv]

I've been listening to all of the Hollywood undead albums in this past month and holy crap. this album is so underrated

[@LiquidAngel96]

Yeah, nothing's beat Notes From the Underground. With stuff like Lion, Outside, One More Bottle, From The Ground, and We Are, you seriously can't top it. California Dreaming gave me some false hope and I was happy that Funny Man got to be in some more, but it's just eh. I hope the electronica is limited or gone entirely the next album. Cause they proved they can make a really good sound with their first single.

[@gurifisu1486]

They’re definitely trying to appeal to the mainstream. Notes From The Undergorund and Swan Songs are my 2 favorites from them tbh.

[@davidnissim589]

I think this is their best album IMO, especially with the lyrics. We all know some of the lyrics on their earlier albums didn't age too well, but I think this is the album where they fully stepped into maturity (3 of them were dads by this point, and another one had a kid around the time the album came out). Yes, there's Cashed Out and Riot, which are party songs, but apart from that, there is some really poetic lyricism. California Dreaming talks about the rampant inequality in LA, Broken Record is about dealing with the death of a loved one, Ghost Beach is reminiscing about childhood, etc. Also, their lead singer Danny is absolutely phenomenal. He sounds eerily similar to Chester Bennington, and I've always loved that.

[@antivistgaming4719]

Unpopular Opinion: My favourite albums by HU - 1) NFTU 2) American Tragedy 3) V 4) Swan Songs / DoTD

[@joji3057]

Black Cadillac is the 1st official feature that Hollywood undead has had in one on their songs but the actual 1st one is the unreleased song “turn off the lights” which featured jefferee Star Edit: jefferee Star is kinda the 1st feature they had but it wasn’t released so it’s also not their 1st feature

[@someweirdo8619]

The songs I like the most from the album is broken record, nobody’s watching, your life, and riot

[@radianteclipse113]

I love this album. But that's just my opinion. My favorites are Ghost Beach, Broken Record, Nobody's Watching, Renegade, Cashed Out, We Own The Night, Bang Bang, and Your Life. I do hate Riot though.

[@sovietp3nguin]

As a long time fan of Hollywood undead I have to say this is a good step up from dotd and I happen to like riot it's on of my favorite songs on there. My only complaint is I think black Cadillac was crap the guess feature really killed the song in my opinion but I can see how you don't like it we all have different taste in music that constantly change

[@packers4life957]

I been an hu fan from the beginning, and I like how the combine styles, personally I'm not a huge fan of electronic sound but I respect that every album has different mixtures of songs, every member brings something to the band in terms of lyric styles, and I though Danny was really good on this album, and Hollywood unread have always been kinda cheesy

[@locojay8314]

Not to be rude but Hollywood Undead do not play nu metal I love Nu metal enough to no what it is, they play, Rap rock/hardcore hip hop/party rap/Crunkcore/pop rock/and alternative rock they play all of those making great music and it depends on what song athan you can say what they play but they do not play nu metal. tons of people say that because the scream and rap well there's tons of diffrent types of music out there with rapping and screaming and and but what J3T said is that they Rock and roll.

[@DuctTapeFan922]

I've been listening to Hollywood Undead since American Tragedy was out. I love all their albums & i absolutely LOVE the EDM undertones & Danny's voice on the choruses in V. I thought his voice was SO good this album. Riot was my favorite song with Bad Moon, Ghost Beach & Renegade following. NFTU was the album i disliked the most. I liked it of course, but it was too rappy with songs like Up In Smoke & Pig Skin. I liked it, of course, but i would prefer to listen to their Rock/Metal/Party songs before NFTU songs. Some lyrics in V can be dull but the music makes up for that. Bands evolve. I honestly disagree with everything you've said other than the lyrics being dull in some songs. But to each his own

[@jaydendoyle6121]

Can you revew deuce he just made a new song its preety good

[@omightysaurus]

their a diverse band and I'm going to say with full confidence that none of the songs are trash its the HU style and if you're not HU then you wouldn't understand anyway XD

[@TheOgreMan]

Ever since I've started watching your reviews I've been a lot more critical of music and actually identifying with the faults in music. Because of that I've stopped following certain bands and artists and reminisce on them for nostalgic purposes only. But I have also opened up to a lot more music and discovered plenty of great talent because of you and you're reviews. Thank you for opening up my mind and once again another good review. I honestly stopped caring about anything Hollywood Undead put out ever since American Tragedy, but I was definitely still interested in hearing what you have to say. You are the best music reviewer on KZbin from my perspective.

[@wisconsingamerhd708]

Riot is like my favorite and I love this album 100%

[@Thatnerdyguy14]

I've been a fan of HU since 2010 and honestly I like this album but songs like Bad moon and ghost beach aren't bad songs they just feel out of place for me. There's a lot of High moments on this album but also a lot of lows. NFTU will always be my favorite album tho. But if I had to rank the albums it would be 1. Notes from the Underground 2. Swan song 3. Five 4.Day of the dead 5. American tragedy (I know I will get some hate for putting American tragedy last) which don't get me wrong has a lot of good songs but I just don't go back to that album that much.

[@antho6569]

For people complaining about the album name not being creative look for the interview where Johnny talks about why they picked it. He talks about how he loves symbolism among other things. The album itself is all around pretty interesting and honestly takes the cake for my favorite album. Songs like Renegade are kind of bland and repetitive but still a good song because of the instrumental. All the other songs are exceptional. The problem with people knocking the EDM, and party songs, is the fact they they're just that. Party songs. That's what they're meant to be and the band does this for fun because they obviously like to party. A lot of the arguments people have against them are not fair because of the fact people don't look at why they made the song or why decide anything for that matter.

[@doncujo6762]

Da Kurlzz wasn't removed from the band, he left. Both HU and Matty have released statements on social media. To sum it up, he had other things he wanted to pursue

[@skythejuggalofox5317]

OdeToTheDeadMusic he’s making solo music :)

[@BrandonPerezOne]

I didn't hate this album at all. I was happy that in this new album they brought back some elements that the last album was missing. I do understand why some people might not be a huge fan of this album. I would hope they would do more songs like California Dreaming in the future.

[@kevinaccettulla]

In my opinion, it's right up there with American Tragedy as their best album.

[@gurifisu1486]

Listen to Swan Songs and Notes From The Underground then...

[@konstanZX2]

Swan songs and notes from the underground were just godlike albums really like even with the vocalist change, they still had that catch potential with kinda anger sadness music, some of them not but actually I prefer J3T over them all like his lyrics are pure emotion so that catches me everytime. but this album like hiphop-rock 4 songs? really? dissapointed, I mean even if day of the dead was like the worst album. But man they couldve made a better album after, no need to change so much the style and make it so mixed up, they should really see that california dreaming, renegade, etc were the most catching songs by far, and continue into that, its okay they wanted to try out the electro edm kinda slow style... but its pretty clear to me that it was a failure xD

[@unholydiver1095]

Listening to Swan Songs to their new stuff, it felt like HU started to lose their originality/personality with every release post American Tragedy. Still rock Swan Songs, American Tragedy, and some of Notes From the Underground, and Day Of the Dead (the song, not the album cause that is the only song I like from that album)

[@thetomgreenshow]

Ive always hated Hollywood Undead, but i really like them now. I wasn't a huge fan of Five. American Tragedy is my favorite album.

[@Migueleby]

This is my favorite album so far, people have to understand that HU is a varied ban. And I also can see that they just made 2 party songs, which is great compared to other albums.

[@TheFashioncore]

HU are just ahead of their time tbh... People can't seem to get used to them having so many variating sounding songs and style on their albums, just like they had on EVERY album prior, Some rock, some hip-hop, Club/Party songs, emotional slow songs. People just aren't buying the fact that a band can be versatile. Sad really.

[@Psyteth]

Jessy There is nothing about them that puts them ahead of their time, lol.

[@TheFashioncore]

Your opinion m8. Gratz.

[@dashingandreas]

What do you think about gotta let go?

[@Cringey_Swine]

I loved the album a lot but that's just me. It was diverse and had a lot of powerful choruses and verses that packed a punch. That's the thing about HU though they have the balls to jump genres and not sound like generic radio rock bands. It's probably their 2nd best imo. You say HU is cheesy but HU has always had that quirky kind of attitude with their music so this is really nothing new from them. Also Da Kurlzz wasn't the drummer he was just the percussion player and did screams but the drummer in live shows was always a touring one.

[@TheMoistG-Spot]

Thing is like you say Hollywood Undead is a band of so many different genres so if there's EDM and Dance sounds in this album why's that matter. They had them in some of their other songs throughout all their other albums so to me, the only difference in this album is that some of the songs are a bit heavier. The rapper is defiantly the best thing about this band!👌

[@devinlowe51]

You people need to think positive 😂😂 my god they're trying to appeal more than one fan base at once and themselves. This album is a lot better than day of the dead as a whole, yeah there old stuff is still better but this album isn't as bad as alot of people make it out to be... be thankful they still make good music😂

[@dashingandreas]

what are your thoughts on "new empire " ?

[@mikethedane3279]

liked the album, fav track is Bang Bang for the rock portion and Nobody´s Watching for the so called EDM portion and the Joker or wildcard is Black Cadillac

[@zacharystewart5344]

This and Notes are both my favorite albums by them and I think they completely redeemed themselves with this album because they brought back the hard rock/rock vibe that was present in their earlier work. California Dreaming, Renegade, Pray, Ghost Beach, and Your Life are phenomenal..... Riot sucks though and I hope they don't ever go back to EDM. 4.5/5 for me

[@Lea-pe6iw]

I've listened to them since early 2008 and I agree with you, Day of the dead was mostly trash imo. first album from them where I didnt like all of the songs. Infact, I liked few songs on that album. Same with this album im afraid, a little bit better though, I like most songs. not all.

[@jerma953]

The beginning: Jon: Go ahead! Me: uhhhh idk maybe three? Four? Jon: It's in the title Me: God I'm dumb

[@nu9611]

i loved riot. it's a really well done edm song- in my opinion. all of the singles were amazing as well. whatever it takes and california dreaming are fantastic. renegade and we own the night are great but to a lesser extent. not their best but definitely still a good album. p.s. comparing any song to the diary is pretty unfair. the diary is a work of art.

[@Abyss.8]

totally agree dude, this album is 2/5, for me, they went down hill rapidly after swan songs,, deuce was the true talent in this band,

[@RJuttner20]

Whatever it takes and Black Cadillac were fucking amazing....I love this album

[@Simon-co6uo]

Review the sin and the sentence by trivium

[@harrytighe5194]

I really don't like the new trivium album and I love trivium

[@harrytighe5194]

Jason LovesABR I'm not a huge fan if matts clean vocals

[@jacoblyons79]

Simon He doesn't do metal albums often, which sucks. Trivium's TSATS is a top 5 metal albums of the year.

[@Simon-co6uo]

Jacob Lyons but he reviewed the latest korn album

[@treybay99]

Most People in my senior year high school hated this music but then again its 2017 I graduated last may

[@holyfirepriest6965]

I do like their new album, except for maybe one song. Its just there band has changed alot. Deuce ended up out of the band and danny took place. That changed their music a bit, Now Da Kurlzz Left due to wanting to pursue somthing more so its gonna be different from that. Alot of music is heading towards some odd directions, alot of people enjoy Melodies and sad songs. Or to where Its really pumped up, I enjoy the diversity in the songs though. I think what they want to it is try to appeal to all audiences, one for the hard rock, then the melody sadder songs and The Rap ones.

this review is coming from someone too biased to be accurate. five is by far one of the best if not the best album theyve ever come out with, forsure. nearly EVERY SINGLE song is catchy as hell and all the members verses and chorus all have a great flow, and are all different from eachother. this is one of the best albums ive heard all year, and after hearing this album ive gone back and listened to the rest, and still this is the best imo.

[@moonraye4942]

So we just wont even mention We Own The Night... and just act like it isnt the best song ever..

[@supernova9563]

i was waiting for this video

[@mhead4376]

How on earth have they released 5 albums, when did that happen?

[@bloodofredmoon]

Thanks for another good in-depth review! I agree that Notes from the Underground is their best album. I’ll be listening to V soon and see how I feel about it.

Jeremy Lewis Five is a great album,he didn't talk about alot great tracks like broken record and we own the night, he's review very subjective in my opinion.Five is probably my second favorite Hu album after notes from the underground.

[@pan7374]

I like it mostly. I’d place it above day of the dead but below notes from the underground. Still enjoy most of the songs on the album though

[@lacuna8199]

It was named 5 because they never thoight they would ever get to 5 records. It was their goal and they actually made it, they never thought they would.

[@Chief-ts8fb]

Notes from the underground is there best album, This album is better in diversity bc whats the point of doing the same old thing? this album is great and people should support the artistic values they come out with instead of hating on it. People listen to ignorant music and repetitive shit daily, Pierce the veil or sleeping with sirens that are stuck in one genre and cant make music they really want bc the label there band put them selfs in. Hollywood Undead does not have a set genre and i love that because you never know what to expect.

[@TwilightZoneMusic03]

I personally love Riot. Can you review New Empire Vol. 1?

[@fritzworley4445]

Loved every album up until Day Of The Dead. I liked maybe two songs on this DOTD. I liked about six songs on five. Its sad though because I liked almost all the songs Swan Songs-Notes From The Underground. Miss Da Kurlzz tho, he was my favorite member.

[@loganC5743]

I disagree with pretty much everything in this review. I loved this album, i loved Day of the Dead, I cant really recall any album I didn't like. And you have to remember, its about opinion. He thinks riot is a terrible song... while I really like it. I dont understand why you even waste your time doing a review on music when you dont even like the type of music your reviewing on. You said it several times through the video that this type of music isnt something you're a huge fan of. So leave it to the people to choose. You doing this review could stop people from listening to the album even though its something they may really enjoy. Because personally, This is one of my favorite albums in general, not just by Hollywood Undead.

While I liked Day of the Dead quite a bit (some of the tracks on it were certainly a lot of fun), this album just feels tired and forced. It feels like 5 dudes struggling to do what came naturally before. This just goes to show that a band can't get away with making the same shit over and over again until it sells. That said, I still got my tickets for their show in 2018, I won't cancel because they are incredibly fun live, but this album really didn't do it for me. Like you said, 5 albums in, we're kinda trying to look for something more.
