[@mariosmovies]

This whole album is a masterpiece in my eyes. Could be the nostalgia talking, but from start to finish it's just all bangers.

[@JT-ne8du]

Couldn’t agree more. A rare album that you can put on start to finish and not skip a track. This album and “The Curse” by Atreyu perfectly encapsulates the era of post hardcore/emo/metalcore

[@bgsmarine2840]

Confirmed, not nostalgia, she holds up.

[@hollywoodheiner6028]

So true man!

[@asmellyplumbus]

People talk shit on Ronnie but literally etf is ass without him.

[@FatLivesMatter_]

There's no sympathy for the dead has my all-time number 1 favorite solo ever

[@jackgottsegen1499]

There are so many songs of DIYLF that are underrated bangers. Honestly, it's a perfect album

[@wyattbell9713]

Dude this is so true. There's No Sympathy for the Dead might be my favorite. Song is a banger

This album defined the era at the time. So it’s really hard to believe anyone who even knows about ETF hasn’t listened to DIYLF.

[@mdjadventures]

[@mitchdbd]

Can't believe you hadn't heard. This album was so far ahead of its time. My favourite track for yeaaaaaaars!!

[@LexeresBrest]

Me too, bro, I can't believe

[@nightwingx0126]

This is the song that got me into core music, still a banger to this day

[@imorokr]

I went to see ETF in 2008 with Chiodos and Silverstein. I was blown away when they played The Guillotine. No Ronnie though :/

[@jdwhite1341]

Depends, if he's only early 20s then he could have missed this era of ETF, I'm 28 so I was 13 and just getting into the whole metalcore/post hardcore stuff when DIYLF released. Some people only focus on the stuff from when they first got into that music and onwards and don't really focus much on what came before.

[@hayden3476]

DYILF is THE most cohesive post hardcore album put out, from front to back it encapsulates that whole time period of music perfectly. Nothing FIR or ETF put out have been comparable. This album was a masterpiece.

[@marshmellowboy323]

compeltely agree

[@SnaccDaddyy]

Old school escape the fate was really something eh

@Alexei each to their own, it isn't my favourite but it's head and shoulders above anything they did without Ronnie

@@SnaccDaddyy I think This War Is Ours is almost as good as DIYLF, there are some bangers on that album. Most things post TWIO from Escape the Fate isn't worth the time of day, though.

[@duhrelhall5501]

I’ve been jamming this song nonstop for the past week, so this is perfect timing. I will go as far to say that this is the best song off the album.

Never met or seen someone that hasn’t heard this. I was so stoked for you to hear certain parts. Loved the reactions bro keep doing these!

How have I never heard this song? This bangs

[@cammokyle]

This has been one of my favourite songs of all time since I ever heard it about 15 years or so ago. Iconic solo and build up. The whole album is probably the best ETF album, and that's from someone who doesn't hate Craig and seen them live a bunch of times. The feelings are just different with the OG line up

[@dom1993z]

Watching you listen to this song for the first time made me relive it so hard haha. Banger

[@RyanNJ]

One of my favorite tracks of all time. The end where the guitar is soloing and they’re hitting the double bass pedal is fucking insane.

[@michaeldebavay5914]

[@ryan.langston]

Whole album is good man!

[@noelzarb7827]

One of the best post-hardcore albums ever written. I like some of the newer ETF stuff but nothing compares to Dying Is Your Latest Fashion honestly, the vocals as well as the guitar work are phenomenal

[@JamesAllenQuinn]

If you haven't heard it yet, from the same album, The Day I Left The Womb is an awesome acoustic/core song by Escape the Fate. I remember in 2005, ETF went to my high school and I went to one of their shows and it blew my mind. The guitarist was throwing the guitar over his shoulder with like barely 1m of space around him.

[@stillwaterfilms3626]

You also gotta check out the first ep. Dragging dead bodies is a classic

[@charlie7801]

one of the best albums of all time imo

[@InJunMidget]

I remember downloading the b sides of these songs instead of the album releases. Holy nostalgia.

[@gamingvampire1604]

The full album is amazing! Another band similar in that scene to react to is I Am Ghost. They were a very underrated post hardcore band. The song I recommend is Beyond the Hourglass.

[@erikg.5743]

"All the vibrant colors I see And the shades that fill the grey" + tapping part + "THE "PAIN" screems = goosebumps iam back at 2007 when i was a young boy, thanks Nik meens a lot to me

[@brennanlundie8649]

"When I Go Out, I Want to Go Out on a Chariot of Fire" from the same album has similar vibes to this one. Both this and My Apocalypse are probably my favorites from the album. Good fuckin middle school bus jams 😅

[@OCEANAfan1991]

I remember my friends and I used to play and sing/"scream" along to Not Good Enough for the Truth in Cliche from this album all the time back in the day when all of us first started to get into this music. Some really great times then. This was another good song from the album and I still play at least some songs from this album every now and then.

[@velmux]

Playing WoW with these songs, damn the feels of nostalgia are real. Amazing to hear this song again after so many years. There's No Sympathy for the Dead & Ashley were also bangers of this band, adding to the ones you mentioned already.

[@narwhal4284]

I remember hearing this album for the first time from a cool friend who had it on cd and a terrible boombox DIYLF and A7x were my first foray into the really heavier side of music

[@hipno12]

This is one of my absolute favorite songs.

[@jakemorse7232]

If you decide to react to another one from this era, Theres No Sympathy For The Dead is the heaviest track on the album and its an absolute banger

[@RubexQewb]

This album is literally masterpiece. Each song is unskippable . When this album dropped during my Freshmen Year . I had an obsession with each song every other week . My Apocalypse is my favorite tho . So much shit going on in one song and the last half will never fail to give me chills , the feels but also gets me pumped . 🤌

[@donaldslayer]

Yes the entire album is also a banger. The webs we weave, no sympathy for the dead, reverse this curse, I could keep going but basically every song is a banger lol

[@EthanRom]

My favorite song off this album was “When I Go Out...” the breakdown is just maximum 2006 energy. I think what a lot of post hardcore bands missed out was that melancholic sad but angry ratio. DIYLF really captured that emo energetic vibe that MCR and Taking Back Sunday were doing around the same time. The vocals have a nice balance of clean, but rough around the edges.

[@askewlewyyy2594]

DIYLF is one of my favourite albums of all time and in my opinion Ronnie's best work
