AND JUSTICE FOR NONE

I have been a huge fan of FFDP for a while now and I really love most of the music they have made, This album has really showed how far they grown. And Justice for none is a very special album that not only shows that they are still the grounded band for there fans, but It invites us as the fans to see their daily life threw their eyes. Although one can say the song Sham Pain is anti fan because of some of the lyrics Ivan said, but in truth it was about trying to balanced enjoying band life and meeting the fans and trying to fight an addiction he has. Its never a easy road when it comes down to fighting a addiction. The song blue on black shows how even on the bands off days they do there best to fight the black cloud to get to the blue sky to see the love us fans have for them. This whole album as far as I have listened to is, I am currently on track 10, Shows that the old saying " Never Judge a Book by its cover" still holds true, While a lot of people like to put them down just because for any reason they can, FFDP from this album really shows that you can put them down, they do not care, they move on and are still their for us fans and the troops at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this CD to any FFDP fan for sure, and I would also recommend it to people that would like to give them a try, because this album leaves no stone UN turn and shows that FFDP is a Open band, take them as they are or you can leave. In closing I would like to say that " In chaos there can be beauty, and in beauty there can be chaos, which means FFDP can be seen as something awesome that makes people see them as ugly, or people see them as ugly, but continue to walk threw the black smoke to the blue sky and see them as beautiful because of them being there for the underdogs.

If you have been a fan of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH from the beginning you will be totally blown away by there latest release. Trough there first 6 albums they have given us some of the most hard hitting songs around and some wonderful softer songs as well really proving there talent each time growing as a band and musicians also with each album, but each of them seemed to be heavier, softer, or both on each album. With there 7th release listening from the start this is exactly what I wanted to hear from this band. And justice for none plays a much softer touch for the band which is done brilliantly let me tell you a band that has been so hard with some of there earlier songs, it took alot of balls to write this album and it pays off I have never seen it done quite like this before as they add there unique touch. They don't try to go all out hard/metal songs or plain ballads either each song brings there talent to 10 folds as they use the lead singers amazing voice and truly show how musically artistic and talented they are. The CD will bring you on a music journey like never before. With 16 songs I thought it might get to long with all the heavy songs and similar sounding songs from previous albums but this one keeps on going leaving you begging for more. They have proven that they are not just a great band with talent but indeed LEGENDARY ROCK STARS. THIS ALBUM WILL TRULY KNOCK YOU OUT WITH A 5 FINGER DEATH PUNCH.

This album has a really well built gatefold cover. The records come in paper sleeves with pictures and lyrics on them. I enjoyed that. The vinyl sounds fantastic!! I have very little to zero surface noise, good loudness, and great clarity. The record itself is great. If you're a FFDP fan, you should enjoy this album. Has a nice mixture of sound for the band. I am very happy with this purchase.

The product: A double LP at this price with an instant download cannot be beat. This is a good pressing, regular black vinyl, nothing fancy but it sounds really great, no surface noise. Double sleeve with great artwork and the lyrics on the record sleeves (which are regular photo paper sleeves). Very pleased with this purchase. The music: More of an opinion than assessment, but I am a 'late to the party' FFDP fan. Not being a radio listener, I never caught onto the band and would occasionally hear some metal fans comment on them disparagingly, if you enjoyed them, you were somehow not a true music fan. (Kind of like the dudes that claim if you like THIS Metallica, you never loved THAT Metallica lol) Then, I heard Lift Me Up online. I was blown away, bought the record and was really impressed. Yes, impressed. This old school thrash metal fan who grew up in the 80's was impressed by FFDP. I love the way this music makes me feel. It has groove, real punch (haha) and Ivan's voice is fantastic and their hooks are just fun to sing. Even the lyrical content falls into the same category for me: cathartic. This is the best therapy to an insane day at work (cubicle creatures!) Try putting on one of their records and blasting it. A real healthy way to purge stress. This record falls in line with all of their others, it is heavy, intense, loud, and in your face with no apologies. We are who we are, we never said you had to like it. The product and the music get 5 stars from me. Must Downloads - Blue on Black Trouble Top of the World Gone Away Sham Pain

I've been a 5FDP fan since the beginning, and though they've had a bit of "too samey" issues with a lot of their songs, it is still a successful formula and every album has had at least a couple standouts. This one is nice and long, the covers are great. It is a bit mellower than expected, it has several slow songs, but I've always liked 5FDP's slow songs too and they're quite good. Overall, not disappointed at all and definitely worth the buy.

Modern day metal Juggernauts, Five Finger Death Punch, have returned after a tumultuous couple of years with And Justice For None. (Review starts on Paragraph 3) Five Finger Death Punch are undeniably one of, if not the, biggest modern metal bands today. For me personally, their meteoric rise was a bit of surprise. I had seen their albums before they got huge. Way of the Fist I'd seen on a Best Buy shelf with their unique album art. I thought it looked cool, but was in a musical rut during that time and didn't pay too much attention. Periodically I would hear friends or Co-workers speak about War is the Answer. I'm not sure if War is the Answer was the album that shot them into stardom, but American Capitalist was undeniably their massive hit of a record. It's a shame because I really didn't care for American Capitalist. I liked a few of the songs, but that album had this strange mix of poppy lead guitar over bombastic palm muted guitars, bass and drums. It personally didn't mix well to my taste. So that is where my support stopped for a few years album wise. However, no matter what time of day, if a rock station was on Five Finger Death Punch's signature sound could be heard pumping away with Ivan Moody's gruff baritone vocals and screams. So of course 'The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell' Volume 1 and 2 released the singles were really good. Whoever is in charge of 5FDP's music videos deserves some recognition for their rise. While of course the music and lyrics are great, their visual presentation really maximize the meaning and impact of the bands music. Regardless of my renewed interest, not until a year ago did I pick up another 5FDP album, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell Volume 2. The album was great and reignited my interest in the band. I of course plan to pick up the rest of their back catalog, but the last two years of Rock and Metal has been really good, so I haven't really had time enough to repurchase older efforts. So with faith restored, I pre-ordered And Justice For None, which absolutely no doubt the title a play on Metallica's own ...And Justice For All. I pre-ordered the deluxe and got lucky enough that Amazon was able to momentarily obtain my copy for about $9.50. I chose it due to the extra tracks and I liked the album art much better than the standard edition. The album packaging is cardboard, printed with that awesome album art, but the booklet is like most artists CD booklets these days. The CD itself has some cool looking print on it as well. Onto the music, there is no denying love it or hate it, 5FDP have a very recognizable sound that many have tried to adopt. The drums always sound like an arena set with bombastic double bass. The guitars have a very muddy chug to them, highlighted by clean leads. While of course the band has said that if Ivan left, they would continue, I think it would be quite a detriment to their identity. Ivan's unapologetic baritone clean vocals and deep growls are now instantly recognizable. The band do what they are known for, mixing it up with double bass heavy aggressive music and heart felt, usually still heavy, ballads. Wrapped up with Ivan crooning his troubles with constant fame and struggles like that of his alcoholism and bad life choices. I'm not going to lie, there isn't much change up in the formula here. If you've heard the last few albums, you know what to expect. That being said, And Justice For None does seem to have a bit more groove to the heavy songs than before, while the leads seem to be more prominent in this effort as well. Another notable difference is that Moody's scream seems a bit more ferocious here than it has been in the last few years. They don't mess with the formula enough to call it a true evolution, but it is enough of a deviation it doesn't sound worn out. If you are a fan of 5FDP, then And Justice For None is a fantastic addition to their catalog. Chris, Jason, Zoltan and Jeremy perform solidly on this album. Jeremy's double bass is very clear throughout the album, while he throws in some fills here and there to spice things up. It sounds to me Jason is pushing more leads through on this album, they just seem more stand out than prior albums. His solo's are also excellent. Zoltan's rhythm guitar is solid and cleaner than on previous albums as well, not quite as much mud in the chug. Jason and Zoltan complement each other very well. Whether the two are chugging heavy riffs together or Zoltan is supporting Jason's leads, they are in sync, even switching up to acoustic a few times throughout the album. Chris is a versatile bassist, chugging along during heavy songs, but switching up to a more individual groove during slower songs. Ivan, the beast himself, sounds great on this record, his screams sound better than they have in awhile. He delivers his rage driven songs about fame and life issues, while serenading on slower songs about loss and sorrow. His cleans have come a long way with vibrato and really puts meaning behind it. His lyrics are as always personal and relatable, especially to those in the armed forces. I will always have respect for 5FDP for supporting them so heavily. A big point lately for Moody as well is that he has finally gotten sober for the last year and has been really focusing on bettering himself. The album also has a few covers, most notably 'Gone Away'. Gone Away was originally released by The Offspring back in 1997. They do an amicable job of covering the song, but The Offspring's original will always be close to my heart. As mentioned before, their video however, add's much leverage to the songs impact. However their the bluesy cover Blue on Black cover is really nice change up for them and adds a bit of freshness to the record. I Refuse is also a very nice addition of piano and acoustic driven music. All three bonus tracks are banger's as well, they are actually some of the heaviest work on the record. All in all And Justice For None delivers what you expect from 5FDP, heavy metal songs filled with chugging riffs and aggressive lyrics and ballads that tug on your heart strings, spice up by some small changes to their usual formula, with Ivan sounding great. Five Finger Death Punch deliver a follow up to 'Got Your Six' that is worth picking up.

Personal use, but I’ve been buying more Five Finger Death Punch album’s, even though I liked their radio versions. Gotta listen to the lyrics, for me and anybody, and if it fits you, I’ll be feeling it! I wish I could speak my mind as much as Ivan lays it out. I could be president! Thanks for the great music guys.

Classic 5FDP. Thankfully, 5FDP did away with having duets. I felt that this falls in between American Capitalist with fragments of Way of the Fist. A little more softer anthems than hard Fist album. I was cautious after hearing Offsprings remake of Gone Away, since airplay has overrun it so much. Was very happy with this album since I haven't had to skip any songs on regular play. All in all, a well rounded album.

Another great album from a great band if you like 5 finger death punch one for the collection

This band is among the best metal bands of all time. All albums have impeccable songs and they do great covers of original songs.

Die Band muß man nicht vorstellen. Das Album aber vielleicht schon. Denn die Scheibe ist für mich eindeutig das Beste was FFDP bisher gemacht haben, sei es der Sound wie auch die Auswahl der insgesamt 16 (!) Titel bei der Deluxe-Version. Viel Musik für's Geld. Inhalt Selbstkritische, ironische Nummer wie "Sham Pain" wechseln ab mit beinhartem Metal ("Rock Bottom", "Fake") und vielen Balladen ("I Refuse", "When The Seasons Change", "Gone Away"). Apropos Balladen ... manch einem eingefleischtem Fan schien das wohl zu viel zu sein, nichtsdestotrotz war das Album sofort Platz eins der offziellen deutschen Top 100 Albumcharts - das gibt einem dann doch den Glauben an den Musikgeschmack der Leute zurück :) FFDP haben keine Angst mit Musikstilen zu experimentieren, bestes Beispiel dafür ist z.B. "Blue On Black" dass daherkommt wie eine Metalimitation eines Country-Songs oder das wie ein Popsong durchproduzierte "Bloody". Statt kreischender Synthis halt kreischende Gitarren. Mir gefällts. Fazit Das Album ist ein Knaller, die Deluxe-Version absolut lohnenswert - schon alleine für "Bad Seed" - und es lief bei mir praktisch den gesamten Sommer im Auto rauf und runter. Der Sound ist exzellent, hier waren im besten Sinne Meister am Werk. Als professioneller Tonmeister im Musikproduktionsbereich neige ich mein Haupt davor. Vergleich: Die danach erschienene neue Disturbed "Evolution" klingt dagegen wie schrill, bassarm und künstlich. Fast wie ein gut gemachtes Demo, bei dem der Sound durch unsachgemäßen Gebrauch eines Limiters komplett zerstört worden ist. Sorry Disturbed, das war nix :) Gäbe es 6 Sterne, ich würde sie sofort vergeben.

Perfeito, lacrado. Muito obrigado
