But not everyone was digging what Falling in Reverse were delivering. Some fans seemed genuinely disappointed while others had a little more vitriol in their distaste for the new record.
"I love falling in reverse but I don't like the album. Really disappointed," remarked one fan. Another noted that aside from the previously released singles, they had issues as well, claiming, "The “new” stuff is basically rap with political undertones (not my cup of tea). I was hoping for more “Ronald” themed songs. 6-2"
Others commented, "Don't think these new songs are even worthy of a fucking landfill," "holy shit this falling in reverse album is so much worse than i anticipated" and "Falling in Reverse’s new album is actually just bad. It’s sooo fucking corny. The entire album is that one Ricky Gervais speech where he’s like 'you just can’t say that anymore' for 10 minutes straight."
One Other Issue
One recurring complaint from fans was that the new album mostly consisted of material that had already been released as individual singles, some up to five years ago.
"New album by falling in reverse is such a scam lol, barely any new tracks and selling in 2024 track from 2019," pointed out one person on the X platform. "New falling in reverse album is good but idk the 7 year wait for majority of the album to be singles released years ago feels empty," added another.
But one fan chose to look at it from another perspective. "Imagine not knowing any song until today. this album is a banger," they added.
