ASKING ALEXANDRIA - They Don't Want What We Want (And They Don't Care)

[@AlexandriaPlace]

Our new album #SeeWhatsOnTheInside out now! askingalexandria.ffm.to/swoti

[@JCBlack.]

Danny’s response: "Drives me insane when people make shit up about our musical and/or personal dynamics to explain or justify something they don’t like. Like it has to be someone’s fault and they have to point a finger. It can can ever just be that they don’t like it. So, to clear it all up: We make the music WE want to make. Ben writes the music, I hear it after it is done when I go in to write and record vocals. Nobody has every told anyone else what to create or what anything has to sound like. We make AA music, whatever that may be. Cool? Cool."

[@-lo.ol-]

This should be pinned at this point. Awesome comment 👍

[@Technobolic]

That’s why they’re losing fans they make what they want and don’t listen to the fans opinions

[@philliplewis1586]

@@Technobolic If they want to sink into obscurity because of their decisions, I guess that's okay. We don't have to like their decisions, we just have to respect them. Similarly, we don't have to listen to their music if we don't like it. They'll find that you can't keep a band of their level together for long if people stop listening though. It's kinda sad, but they'll just have to realize that they did it to themselves.

[@bagzy868]

Imagine making music for your fans but not listening to them cause you wanna make what you want. Say what you want but that seems counterproductive if you want to keep your audience.

Asking to Danny at the disco!

[@BBQBrizkit]

Somethings just wrong with the way AA songs are being mixed lately. This song had the potential to be catchy and heavy at the same time but whoever is behind the mix consistently wants to turn everything into radio music. The band may be approving it, but it’s not even their fault at this point. Everything is super refined to the point where it lacks character. Listen to the guitars. Is that even a metal tone? And the drums sound like they’re out of a fallout boy song. If it wasn’t for Danny, I could guarantee nobody would recognize this as an AA song

[@Migxs01]

This guy should be top comment.

[@Lord_Burrito]

Can agree, and I mentioned it in my comment too; Lyrically it really doesn’t feel as good as their older stuff either, it feels so cookie-cutter for the genre and it just doesn’t catch my eye the way their old stuff did. Their older records were powerful, they showed absolute raw emotion, and they didn’t hold back on just “letting it all out”, in a sense. Since their self-titled, they’ve gone down a road of ‘experimentation’ that appeals much more to the broader audience, and not as much throwing a bone to their own. Asking Alexandria really seems to play it safe with these new tracks, and you can tell Danny’s been influenced more by his solo projects and wants to lead AA to something similar.

[@shanonkaje]

I completely agree. They've turned in to a stadium rock band.

[@14UnDeAd14]

I completely agree with every word you said. Actually this song as a whole sounds more like a Fallout Boy song than AA.

[@BlackVeilSpectra]

The mix sounds great to me, the drums actually sound better than ever on this in my opinion. As for the guitars, they sound heavy enough to me, just because they aren't brutal drop tuned guitars doesn't mean it isn't still metal.

[@helendrel240]

Being able to change your sound and still maintain your style shows massive maturity. Everybody's saying where's the screaming where's the heaviness? So you think after 10 + years they'll stay the same. A good band should have the ability to explore different elements of style and honestly they're pulling it off. Other bands have done the same and sound even better. So stop expecting the same shit every time. Let the band have the freedom to showcase what they feel ffs.

[@TheCrabCoreKing]

The third album was a good step foward. But this is, is bad.

[@jameswheeler7153]

Fans are never happy. It happens to every band. They make an album that sounds like their previous and everyone says it sounds the Same. They try something different and fans say it sounds too different. I personally enjoy it all.

[@Lord_Burrito]

Can you really say that they've matured? Maybe from their "core sound", sure, but their lyrics absolutely do not show that they've "matured", look at their newest song; 'Antisocialist'.

[@Lord_Burrito]

@@99blackbirds The second verse of the song: "Please stay away from me You keep on talking with nothing to say I don’t wanna hear about your life You make me wanna eat a bullet It’s on my forehead Four letters, off And go forth and spread the word I don’t wanna know you Please stay away from me ‘Cause I don’t fucking like you" That's about as edgy as my profile picture. I don't generally think that AA themselves have matured as a band over all their time, especially since Stand Up and Scream, but the misconception of them "maturing" is really absurd considering the fact that their lyricism is (still) edgy as can be, and doesn't show them taking a more "professional" approach to it. I get the fact that as musicians, they create art to express themselves in whatever manner they see fit, and that they don't have to be "professional" per se, but this still looks relatively bad for them, if they keep writing like this.

[@andrewrutherford2834]

I agree. If i was the same 15 yr old maybe i would of hated this bit now I appreciate it. Its cool to put their whole disographie on mix and go from breakdown city to arena rock

[@BryHrzN]

The ending was pretty fun to listen to, I can appreciate what I am hearing but man it makes you want to run back to the old albums and play them loud. I love AA but something seems off with their latest releases.. Hopefully the album is a great listen, looking forward to hearing more nonetheless!

[@valerietravis5302]

“It was meant to be a sanctuary not a prison” y’all clearly didn’t listen to the lyrics if all you are going to do is complain abt the new sound when clearly they’re doing it to make themselves happy again

[@muzictalks]

Valerie Travis EXACTLY like I’ve been seeing the comments for other bands who’ve changed sounds and they don’t get nearly as much hate as AA does. All because people can’t let go of a certain sound. They never dedicated themselves to one genre so why are people acting like they’re pop now or something.

[@soggyman3852]

That doesn’t matter. The fact that it makes them happy is irrelevant. People are allowed to voice their opinion

[@KidKat__]

The reason I'm personally not satisfied is because it's literally so 2013 Fall Out Boy, it's not even funny. Besides from the chorus, I can't tell the two bands apart. There's nothing metal about the guitars, the vocals are so heavily processed its not even funny and it's a been done for radio time and plays. I'm glad they're finally achieving what they wanted, world-wide rock start status, but I'm just not gonna be there to bow at their feet and celebrate. This just ain't me.

[@KidKat__]

[@ahuman9113]

[@Lord_Burrito]

I can appreciate and understand the evolution of their music, but I'm not sure if I'm too jaded from their first records to see this being as enjoyable. These are catchy and have good rhythm to it, but the new stuff makes me miss the older stuff, and some newer spins on it. It doesn't feel as 'raw' and lyrically powerful as their old stuff used to, their self-titled had a couple good ones in those respects, but these last two singles really haven't done much for me there.

[@shaunp2265]

@@ЕвгениКуртев you cant compare any of their albums to each other. Literally every album theyve done has a different feel and sound in it. Even thougb the first 3 were more deathcore-y, they were all VERY different sounds. Theres a difference between going soft to sell out and going softer to experiment.

i understand it now. the majority of AA's fans in general are much younger than the members of AA. so they dont share AA's maturity. AA are talking about politics in their songs now, and their music reflects their maturity too. but AA's fans can't relate to that. this actually reminds me of my own gripe with Linkin Park. the majority of LP's fanbase started complaining about LP sounding "soft" starting from the third album, i was one of them. they started talking abt politics in their 3rd and 4th album and i didnt like it. but now in my 30s i actually understand why bands abandon their original sound and angsty lyrics. the majority of u AA fans might not understand it now, but u eventually will...

Why does everyone say it's not stand up and scream. Clearly it's not that was over 10 years ago. Get with the fucking times. It's a kick ass piece. We all know that the AA that came out ysars ago died years ago. But it's alright with me because the AA that emerged from the ashes is kicking ass and has just as many fans as before. People change over time and I'm glad they don't sound like a broken record (cough cough ffdp)

[@cardboard.sp00n19]

I've loved AA ever since I met their music years ago and I still do (even though these last two tracks feel hollow tbt). What I really hate is that they market the heaviest snippets of the tracks to hype them up as if they are to be such and then comes the letdown. They did it with Eve (I Am Inequity teaser) where they took the only 'heavy' song on the album (I would assume they really would have released more like that on the album given the recent demo they released) as their marketing towards an unheavy album 🙁 P.S - Give it a year of milking so they release the 'heavy' demo of this 🙃

Lyric: Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck? Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest? Panic Panic There's somethin' strange going on in this room The walls are melting, I can hear the ceilin' screaming to come down I can't believe we built this room It was meant to be a sanctuary, not a prison There's something strange going on in this house It's like we're pushin' all these buttons, trying to start a war Amongst ourselves, but we don't know what we want All we know's that we don't want what they want What we want What they want What we want What we want Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck? Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest? Can you feel your bones ache like there's something within? Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin? Can you feel it? Panic, panic Can you feel it? Panic, panic There's something wrong with the castle they're in Watching over every single move that we make Try to see past their perfect smiles They were supposed to be protectors, not o-fucking-ppressors There's something wrong with the way that they speak Like the more they take from us, the better off that we'll be Anything to get the power they seek All I know's that they don't want what we want What we want What they want What we want What we want Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck? Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest? Can you feel your bones ache like there's something within? Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin? Can you feel it? Panic, panic Can you feel it? Panic, panic We don't want what they want They don't want what we want We don't want what they want And they don't care Panic Panic Panic

[@katt04281]

It’s honestly pretty heavy compared to their last record. I really dig the buildup in this song at the end. The riffs were different and semi heavy. The drums were a little heavier. They are trying to get back on that heavy side of AA everyone loved I feel.

[@davidshipley4676]

It's not about it being heavy it's about it being good. This isn't good.

[@stevenlol2108]

It's a poor attempt at being heavy ruined by the completely lackluster verse (which kills the intro) and the boring chorus. It also feels incomplete, the bridge is completely random. They've lost their spark

Real fans are here to appreciate every new song and evolve with the band. Posers are here to complain that their music isn't the same. OFC its not. People get bored with the same repetitive shit. Asking is doing whats making them happy, and they know the real fans will stick around, so i doubt they are concerned with people leaving their fandom.
