Sound: American Capitalist is the latest Five Finger Death Punch release. Prior to its release this record was hyped as “The album that will define the Five Finger Death Punch sound”. And I pray to god it does. The guitar is in that classic FFDP drop B and the solos have new reign on this album. The bass is unbelievably solid and the drums are aggressive and hectic. Finally the mix of clean vocals and growls is remarkable and the lyrics are intelligent and angry as always. On this release Five Finger continues to create amazing no bull heavy metal. From the starting words “I'm a red blooded rough neck son of a bitch /I'm a god damned American Capitalist” you know what this album is going to be, one of the greatest records of the year.
The guitar is the first thing to draw one in to any Five Finger Death Punch record and American Capitalist is no exception. The riffs are as brutal as ever on this latest disc. One of the most notable riffs is probably the one in The Pride which features hardcore death metal guitar. Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook team up to create a formidable death metal sound. The problem with these guys is that occasionally the riffs become to repetitive and the guitar gets kind of meh. Yet the overpowering might of the drop B tuning typically compensates for this. One of the interesting advancements of this album over previous releases is that here there is more solo friendly material. I feel that on this record the guitar solos get a lot more respect than on previous records. Now the solos are explosive and beautiful roaring waves icons and not hidden streams. Another interesting development is the addition of more acoustic intros, this makes the album feel a lot more intelligent yet loses none of that good ol' FFDP brutality. All in all the guitar work on this album is amazing, it features brutal riffs and explosive solos and even a few more acoustic bits.
The rhythm section is tight and spot on. The solid drum/bass synchronization is one of the things that makes songs like Menace so amazing. Bassist Chris Kael makes a great debut with FFDP and Jeremy Spencer continues to live up to his name. The rhythm players even get their own little solos on this record. For bassist Chris Kael its the intro to Generation Dead. For drummer Jeremy Spencer its at the end of the solo on American Capitalist. In both cases these guys show their skills to the utmost and prove they can do more than their repetitive but awesome synchronization. I do feel that the one thing that might add to the brutality to the music would be more aggressive drumming. Overall though the rhythm section of Five Finger is one of the greatest in modern metal. // 9
Lyrics and Singing: Now on to the vocals, and boy can Ivan Moody rip it up. His growls and clean vocals are both top notch. The growls in 100 Ways to Hate are probably the key example of his down and dirty vocals. Conversely his clean vocals are demonstrated in the surprisingly light but awesome track Remember Everything. One of my favorite things about FFDP has perennially been the sheer anger captured in Ivan's growls. Take any one of tracks from the record (apart from Remember Everything) and the sheer aggression and hatred will blow you away. Yet once this horrible anger has blown you away the melodic clean vocals kick in and your mind is blown again by the sheer contrast. The vocals match these evil growls at the same time as the melodic vocals by having extremely angry but intelligent lyrics. Some of the words on this album can only be described as poetry. In short the vocals, melt your face and take you to a whole new level of metal glory. // 10
Impression: In conclusion the new Five Finger Death Punch record is one of the greatest things you'll hear this year. With the sheer might of the guitar with its brutal riffs and shredding solos this album draws you in. The powerful drum/bass combination helps to make the album even more brutal. Finally the vocals are amazing with both growls and clean vocals that are top notched Five Finger can not be beat. My favorite track is probably American Capitalist I just love those lyrics. So go check out this record today. You won't regret it. // 10

Sound: Heavy, I love it, the first song opens up with a dark and fast riff. And the last song ends with a dark and fast riff. 5fdp have really evolved in their tone, in the instruments and in Ivan's voice. He sings more than he screams/growls in this album. I think this is a awesome album.
01. "American Capitalist": The first song, an okay song, not the best in my opinion a great solo though.
02. "Under And Over It": Uoow go! This is one of the best on this album, almost perfect, except the solo, it's slow and it does not fit the song.
03. "The Pride": The main riff kinda sucks in this song, but it's enjoyable, a filler, I'm sorry to say it, but it is.
04. "Coming Down": Great song, the album's first ballad. "But I'm not the only one". Loves the work on the instruments and on Ivan's voice.
05. "Menace": Simply awesome, heavy, fast, great solo, great singing, Yeah!
06. "Generation Dead": I was surprised that Ivan didn't scream in this song, not disappointed, but amazed. It's good though.
07. "Back For More": Great song, despite that awful bridge that comes at about two minutes in the song, I hate it and I do not know why.
08. "Remember Everything": Love it.
09. "Wicked Ways": Not my song, but it's okay. It's a love song in a way, and I f**king hate love songs.
10. "If I Fall": That intro riff, gives me an erection. And the verse is good, but the chorus is really bad. It sounds like a mainstream pop chorus. Shame on you guys!
11. "100 Ways To Hate": Back on track, hell yes. Heavy song, with a lot of aggression and hate, I love it.
Solid album, not the best, but it's good. // 8
Lyrics and Singing: Very good lyrics. They went from: f*ck this, f*ck that, I f'cking hate you. To poetic lyrics (most of the time). They ditched most of the macho thing behind, it's great.
01. "American Capitalist": this song is about, some of the Americans who is just to blind to see there own flaws.
02. "Under And Over It": I believe that this song is about Ivan who is tired of the fame and sh-t.
03. "The Pride": Bad, BAD lyrics, a list of things the band think sold out.
04. "Coming Down": A brilliant song, sounds like someone "double crossed" or was just being an a-shole to Ivan and he thought of this song.
05. "Menace": aggressive "The Way Of The Fist" like.
06. "Generation Dead": This song is about Ivan, not wanting to live in this world, kinda understand him.
07. "Back For More": this song is, for me about sports, I don't know why but for me it's just a sport song.
08. "Remember Everything": Masterpiece! Lyrics are at the top point in this song. About Ivan begging for forgiveness within his family, kinda like "The Unforgiven" by Metallica.
09. "Wicked Ways": About being let down by a girl, or a guy.
10. "If I Fall": About dragging everybody down with him, if he ever falls.
11. "100 Ways To Hate": Read the damn name.
Ivan is an awesome singer simple as that, he doesn't fail to impress me. // 9
Impression: It's not as good as the two previous albums, but it's still kicka-s. The best songs (in my opinion) are:
- Under And Over It
- Coming Down
- Menace
- Generation Dead
- Back For More
- Remember Everything
- 100 Ways To Hate
I love the switch between Ivan's voice scream and non-scream. Zoltan's solo's and of course the other instruments. The things I hate is: It's a damn short album, not many surprises, you expected it all. If this album got stolen I would buy a new one, without doubt. // 8

Sound: 5FDP is back with their third album. The mixing on this one sounds considerably better than the first, however some songs just aren't as good mixing-wise. Without a bassist, they had to comprimise with their producer playing the bass parts for this album. Overall, a good effort.
Here's a track-by-track:
01. American Capitalist: a fast-paced riff kicks off this album. Sounds fairly solid so far, with the vocalist alternating between screamed and clean vocals often - A huge complex solo is also added in to make the song just a tiny bit more epic. Great start.
02. Under and Over It: catchy, catchy stuff. Most of you should've already heard this one, it's annoyingly catchy but a letdown in comparison to the first track. Fairly dull riff, and an uninteresting solo also.
03. The Pride: it's hard to believe this song made the album. For starters, the song has some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard - For the most part it's just listing items in modern society.. The solo is also really boring to listen to. Probably just filler track, next..
04. Coming Down: the first 'softer' song on American Capitalist, similar to songs from their previous album such as "Far from Home" and "Walk Away" - Considerably better than the previous two songs despite the fact it's not heavy in some aspects - The song builds up in instrumentation and atmosphere as it goes on despite the lead guitar mostly being acoustic (It switches to electric for the solo). Really good song.
05. Menace: "OHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!! F*** IT." - The opening scream as this song bursts into life. One of the heavier songs on the album (There are a lot of them, might I add, but not all of them as good as this one), and fairly catchy also. Even better than the title track. Solo really fits the song, also, which is nice. One of my favourites.
06. Generation Dead: this song never really picks up. It's fairly good but it doesn't ever go anywhere. Fairly bland, much like "Under and Over It". The vocalist uses a fairly strange vocal tone in the verses of this song also, which is somewhat offputting. A more powerful vocal effort in the choruses, however.
07. Back for More: my personal favourite track on the album. One of the heavier tracks despite the lack of fully-screamed verses. Catchy chorus, and a brilliant guitar solo. Riffage in this one is considerably better than most of the tracks on the album, too. I honestly can't find anything bad about this track.
08. Remember Everything: another ballad, this one's more likely to bring out the tears, however. The lyrics in this one are far more emotional in comparison to "Coming Down". Almost poppy elements are utilised in the chorus, where the instrumentation suddenly becomes a lot heavier much like in a handful of other ballads. The solo just makes the song even more powerful. Love it.
09. Wicked Ways: back to the heavy. Another fast-paced riff, just like in the title-track. The song slows down a little as the vocals hit, sadly. Fairly dull, and the vocalist's tone doesn't seem as good as in other tracks. The lyrics aren't exactly commendable on this track, either. Just filler.
10. I'll Fall: a third ballad? You'd think so, judging by the introduction - But then it suddenly bursts into life. This song is badass. It does get all ballad-like in parts but only briefly, and that really adds to the atmosphere within the song. Ends with an acoustic guitar playing out which also adds to the effect.
11. 100 Ways to Hate: yawn. This song is pretty much just profanity, and it's honestly the most uninteresting song on the album. If you're an immature 12 year old who laughs every time you hear a swear, you're going to love it. Apart from the guitar solo, this song just doesn't pick up.
Giving the album an overall rating of 7, although there's the occasional filler track it's mostly great and is considerably better than "War Is the Answer" since that only had like 5 good tracks in my opinion. // 7
Lyrics and Singing: While there's some shining lyrics now and then, it's generally just bad. The Pride for example sounds like it's been written by a 2 year old.. Unimpressed.
"Disneyland, White House, JFK and Micky Mouse
John Wayne, Springsteen, Eastwood, James Dean
Coca Cola, Pepsi, Playboy, Text me
NFL, NBA, Brett Favre, King James"
That's an example of lyrics within The Pride - Just horrible. // 4
Impression: Although there's some really interesting songs every now and then it's generally a bland and boring album. Great soloing in a handful of the songs, though. Their guitarists have improved a little from their last album, not just focusing on shredshredshred but also concentrating on melodic playing.
If it were stolen, though, I wouldn't panic since you can't exactly steal from iTunes. // 6
I like FFDP, but I sure am embarrassed about it. The music has quite a lot of feeling in it, but the lyrics do sound like they've been written by an angst-y teenager.. It puts off a lot of people, but I can't really help but just like the music.
why bash the band i don't get it.
low tuned guitars with good riffage, check
lyrics about angsty shit and belting things. check
rhythm section with a massive amount of lowend and decent amount of cymbals. check
and to top it off a vocalist that is audible with the dynamic ability to both have smooth vocals and gruff vocals. as far as metal bands go they have all the elements to make it as a band i just don't get why so many people rag on them.
First off, I like 5FDP. Second off, I don't freely admit it for some reason. I find whenever I tell a friend that I like them, I should feel guilty or embarassed by it.

Those things were popular 10 years ago. These aren't the noughties anymore. Metal is getting more layered and less chug-chug-chug nowadays
Much of the same from FFDP. A bunch of chugga, chugga guitar riffs with cringe worthy lyrics and vocals with little or no experimentation now over 3 albums. This band gets boring real quick especially if you listen to their albums often. Their songs just blend together. They're all similar in structure, most are similar lyrically with no signs of improvement. Their music is just not dynamic enough to be interesting for long periods of time.
This band are awesome, having said that even though i love the music i do agree that little has changed since the first album. (but if it aint broke dont fix it.)
people are entitled to there opinions but my view is that metal should never be about whats cool or whats in/whats out (if you catch my drift?) leave that childish attitude to pop fans! Long live metal and its vast diversity
(oh and if you gunna bitch about something, how about posting you own musical works on here for people to hear...then see how YOU like being shot down...) just sayin is all.
The Way of the Fist was great but this band has gotten progressively worse with each album. Some of the lyrics on this make me cringe (even though I've come to expect bad lyrics from FFDP) and there's a lack of any real memorable songs or even choruses for that matter.
I personally like this album. Not better than Way of the Fist but better than War is the Answer. I think the lyrics are a lot better than what people realize. The guitars and vocals are pretty good besides the fact the vocals overpower the guitars. Bass is also decent and the drums have there moments. All in all a solid album imo.
"Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook team up to create a formidable death metal sound." wtf...
THe tuning for the guitars is B standard by the way...
Riffs like in WIcked Ways is all recycled sbut otherwise a great album.
And for god's sake, make that genre quoting stop, it's lame and is just a waste of time if you don't like the band.
I can't believe so many people don't like this album or the lyrics. The lyrics are not awful, they are actually really good on this album. I like American Capitalist almost as much as The Way of the Fist, and the only thing I can complain about here is that some of the riffs are meh, but there are plenty of fantastic songs on it.
Oh and Tenacius-A, you are a complete idiot of you are criticizing The Pride's lyrics, because you clearly do not understand the song.
The first reviewer loves this album too much for me to trust him. He notes things that aren't good about the album, yet gives it a nearly perfect rating of 9.7.
The second review seems more fair and accurate, although I haven't heard the album yet. And even though, in the review, he says he would, for some reason, give what he calls a bland and boring album an overall rating of 7, at the top of his review it says he gave it a 5.7.
However, I find it strange that even I know that they have a new bass player making his debut on this album. Yet the second reviewer believes that their producer took over bass duties for the album.
Like I said, I haven't heard any of the album aside from the single, which sounds like some kind of Randy Savage tribute -- not in a good way -- and with horrible vocals and lyrics (like most other 5FDP).
I wouldn't call myself a fan of this band, but someone who can see potential within the band. However, I'm convinced that they'll never make any good music with Ivan Moody in the band. His voice sounds good when he puts some growl on it, but I just don't like his clean voice. He doesn't have much range, in his clean voice at least, and it sounds heavily inspired by Phil Anselmo, by way of Corey Taylor. On top of that, his lyrics are flat-out awful 95%-99% of the time. As many others have said, they sound like they were written by a kid in middle school.
Out of what I have heard from these guys, there's not usually more than a few seconds at a time when a song sounds good, and it's usually during the instrumental breaks and solos. Far From Home is the best sounding song I've ever heard from them, yet the singer just holds the band down, in my opinion.
But if what the first reviewer says is true, that the music is interesting, albeit repetitive, on this album, I might check it out.
What I appreciate about this band is, well... the band. I think they have potential, but I don't think they'll ever accomplish anything too special with Ivan Moody at the helm.
I like this album, only thing I kind of dislike is his clean voice, which I've kinda had enough of. But the riffs and the agression on the album is really nice! And since none of the songs (at least not yet) have been played on the radio to the point anyone gets enough of them it's the best album so far. =)
"Disneyland, White House, JFK and Micky Mouse

This band is like All That Remains if you took out everything good and got a twelve year old to write lyrics.
hell no.
Their style is way differen't and especially the guitars.
All they got in common is that the vocals are screamed and sung. That the bands are similar is so ignorant to say.
However, I find it strange that even I know that they have a new bass player making his debut on this album. Yet the second reviewer believes that their producer took over bass duties for the album.
"Spencer unveiled that due to the bass tracks already being done by the time Kael joined, that he would not be on this record. The producer of the record Kevin Churko had already recorded the bass tracks for the record at that point. This is his second time working with 5FDP and Jeremy spoke about what it was like to work with Churko again"

Not really a fan but damn. Lots of people ragging on these guys. I guess in order to qualify as a good metal band no one must know who the hell you are.
Ok seriously is anyone ever happy? You dont like FFDP then gtfo. Same with Metallica, Megadeth, Slipknot, and any other band. I clicked this to read about a band I like not to listen to you bitch

Comin' again to save the motherf uckin' day, yeah!

Ok. That's cool. But I read in an article about the new album on a magazine website (don't remember which one) that, Kael, their new bass player would be featured on the album.
Maybe they re-recorded them since the referenced quotes.
More likely that the magazine article was wrong, though. Journalism seems to have gone to shit, everywhere, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I'd like these guys if it weren't for the lyrics :/ I just feel like I'm 13 listening to them.
I have never agreed with anyone on this site more than I agree with you now. And I've seen them in concert too; pretty terrible show. They have good music and stuff, but the lyrics/attitude that come with it just kinda suck as a whole.
Yeah 5FDP has never had the best lyrics. But the guitar riffs and solo's are great. And I love Ivan Moody's voice. I hope I can find American Capitalist soon
Nobody here seems to have actually listened to the whole album.....I know the lyrics seem iffy at times but that's because a lot of them are about what has happened in Moody's life. He isn't going to wrap the lyrics in a pretty little package of complex words...he's gonna shout out what he feels. You people need to know what you're talking about before you criticize a band. I give this album a 9.0. I honestly love it.

Sounds like alot of you people are just a bunch of douchebags that would trash and judge everything. Stop your bitchin and get in the pit. Lets face it there will never be another pantera. But I'm sure plenty of people thought they sucked too.
I'd like these guys if it weren't for the lyrics :/ I just feel like I'm 13 listening to them.
I thought that too, and I normally don't care about lyrics.

shit sux...i think the first reviewer and even the 2nd reviewer need to think twice and listen to this album again, only 2 good songs on here r american capitalist and under and over it..but even those arent too great..overall i am just very surprised those 2 reviewers gave such high ratings to this piece...of all albums!
Don't know this band apart from some tracks on the new album, see a lot of hate on this band. Can anyone point out why this is as I genuinely don't know? Don't say lyrics cause metal lyrics can be shit all over the board. Why the hate?
100 ways to hate is a tribute to John Davis of Korn according to Ivan Moody on Sirus Octane during the 5 days of Death Punch they are doing right now.
same ol 5FDP.... not to say that is bad. great workout music. pretty formulaic in approach but if you like them, you will like this. I do hear some Slipknot influence in the riffage as well as some Pantera...Jus my opinion. Give AMERICAN CAPITALIST a 7.5 out of 10
Is it me or does that album cover look like something from the 80's?
The songs aren't bad, they're just not really anything fresh. In a way you could say that makes them bad. For me, when it comes to music I don't really hate anything. It's more of a passive/active listening. If I like it, I really listen to it. If it's not something that grabs my attention it's just background noise. That's what FFDP is to me, background music. Not really exciting enough to make me take notice.
They do have some moments, but mostly it kinds of blends in with everything else I hear.
why bash the band i don't get it.
low tuned guitars with good riffage, check
lyrics about angsty shit and belting things. check

Music isn't a checklist. You can still have all of that and have terrible song structure or melodies. Orrr you can have none of that and still have well-crafted pieces. You can have that and still have great music, of course, but in my opinion, this band doesn't. To me they are terribly generic and there really isn't anything mind blowing about them. That's just my opinion though, and if people like this band, then that's good. Just not for me.
If music stuck to a genre check list, people like Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles never would have broken ground.
I agree with all the people here who are talking about shitty lyrics/vocals/etc. Seriously, I couldn't even listen to War Is the Answer purely because of that idiot of a frontman. I might listen to this now that it's out but get rid of Moody, and this would be a fairly good band.
"classic FFDP drop B"
I stopped reading the first review when I saw this...I skimmed a couple lines and saw something about "great lyrics" too.....
I really liked Way of the Fist and a couple songs off of War is the Answer, but this band is going into the AC/DC effect where every album is the same thing.
@ whoever said metal was getting less chugga chugga.....ever heard any of those -core bands? All they do is chugga chugga.
To be honest, I love metal. Nuff Said. But if you don't like the band why bash? Seriously it's a waste of everyone's time. Yeah, maybe the lyrics are immature, riffs chugging along, but music isn't about what people ****ing want! That's why the entire airwaves, tv and internet is flooded with super shit music, because they obey people what the people want. Metal is about that shit. Hell if that shit stops we ain't better than any pop, hip hop or rap artist. Guys, musicians play what they want, if you don't like it don't ****ing listen to it then.
Ok thats my rage.
But in all honesty, good angry album, lots of energy, nice solos. Average vocals but hey, it's who they are.
Ok seriously is anyone ever happy? You dont like FFDP then gtfo. Same with Metallica, Megadeth, Slipknot, and any other band. I clicked this to read about a band I like not to listen to you bitch
Thank GOD that someone gets it, if you dont like the band dont read the story or the review or the interview!
I don't see why everyone is trash talking these guys. They have a lot of talent. The song "The Pride" it's lyrics aren't even close to a 12 year old writing them. They send a message.
I'm a big fan FFDP, however I do agree with a lot of people on the lyrics. It would be nice to see a little more maturity in the lyrics. Other than that, I think everything from the vocal delivery to the drum sound on this album is pretty decent.
This album deserves every piece of good, commentating. American Capitalist is by far, one of the best albums I've heard in a while. The only problem in my opinion is Generation Dead and 100 Ways to Hate; I do not like them; sounds too repetitive and unlikeable to me. 9.2/10
querido cara de poto numero dos, stas re equivocado, st s un muy buen album y sta dentro de mis favoritos del 2011, junto a In Waves y Unto The Locust, dale una buena escuchada y talvez l semen salga de tu cerebro, con cario Angel
I agree that this band isn't the most mind blowing music and it isn't extremely unique. But I do like to listen to them while I workout or something because it is good pump up music. Nothing absolutely amazing from them but they are a solid metal band. Does not deserve the hate they get.
probaly the best metal band well newest metal band to actually still write and create some good music i mean their are good metal bands but they seem to repeat themseleves but not 5fdp. they have great guitar work and zoltan is bad ass i cant wait to see them in memphis 5-16-12. with trivium and black tide .
I don't think anyone actually processed The Pride 's lyrics. They just saw "Coca Cola Pepsi" and just got angry.
I like this album, but I feel like they chopped the guitar solos off quite a bit from other albums.Under and Over it and The Pride sound like they should just bust into shred solos but we never quite get that.
They have good music and stuff, but the lyrics/attitude that come with it just kinda suck as a whole.
