Album Review: Survive This! - The Life You've Chosen

Cliché-laden lyrics. Spineless riffs. Predictable rhythms. If this is how you have a mega-rocking time, then hey, you're in luck. For the other 99 per cent, take a wide berth when approaching The Life You've Chosen. Another metalcore product from Sin City, Nevada, these guys are like Falling In Reverse in that they're a complete sonic mess, bending genres over before degrading them again and again, all in the name of 'creativity'. Unsurprisingly, the biggest abomination here, the chart pop/breakdown rock of Wrong Direction "Hey You", features Ronnie Radke, who also produced the record.
