Not a big of the screaming parts but the rest is pretty cool. Their "Bad Company" cover is epic btw

Much better then the average "i'm a badass" song that comes out. I'll probably pumping this for some time.

Wow, I'm so happy I finally heard this because it was O-MAZING!!!!
This is better than NOTHING. There is no song in existence that is this terrible. The bridge with the harmonized solo is typical FFDP and is fine, but that post-chorus part with the title lyrics screamed is probably the LAMEST thing I've ever heard in my life. Lamer than "Hear Me Now" by Hollywood Undead, you ask? I think it just might be. Lamer than FFDP's bridge to "Never Enough"? That's tough to outdo, but I think so. Lamer than "Lowlife" by Theory Of A Deadman? At least T.O.A.D. is aware of what they're doing. Lamer than Limp Bizkit - "Gold Cobra"? Duh, "Gold Cobra" is f**king awesome! ;)
This is ATROCIOUS. FAIL-PLUS!
I have thought some FFDP songs were decent, and I have been slowly warming up to them, but this easily killed any ounce of credibility they were gaining. This insults the intelligence of my pet hamster let alone any human being.

If enjoying listening to a song is liking it...then I LOVED it. It was like a Rebecca Black-type listening experience.

I listened to it. It's not really that bad. It's a Five Finger Death Punch song. There's not that much more to say about it. I mean, the lyrics are pretty simplistic, but I can appreciate the topic he's getting at, even if he does it in a bare bones manner. I dunno, I don't think it's as bad as you're making it sound, but I don't think it's that great either.

Well, I guess I ask...what's worse? It's enjoyably bad, but I still feel like it's pretty damn bad. If bad music exists, then something has to be bad, and I feel like this fills the role very very well.

If bad music exists, then something has to be bad, and I feel like this fills the role very very well. Instrumentally, I don't think it's bad. It's generic, but not bad. And the lyrics, I don't know, I have heard worse. And there are lyrics that are not worse but I find personally offensive. These are not that bad for what it is, a song about rumors. It's simple, simple-minded, but they serve the purpose. |

Hollywood Undead. Insane Clown Posse. Hell, some of Hed P.E.'s lyrics are way worse, and I'm a fan of that band.

It's not just lyrics though. It's the total package. And while especially those first two bands are terrible, I would argue this song is in the same league. I would put FFDP above HU and ICP easily, but this song is easily the worst thing they've ever done imo. The part at 2:20 is what I came in on when I heard it on the radio, and that part is pretty impossible to take remotely seriously. Hearing it from the beginning, it was a little less bad, but that's disappointing, because I'm more entertained by their bad songs than their decent songs.

I'm really kind of surprised by how much you hate this song, actually. Not because it's that likeable, but because it just doesn't seem that worthy of hate.

Well if it makes you feel better, I hated the song less the second time. But part of what makes it hatable is how much more love this is getting and will get than far superior songs. But there are parts of this song I think are objectively awful, not just for how successful the song will be, but in general.

He may have meant they're currently in the process of filming a music video for the single.  |
