Dying Is Your Latest Fashion by Escape The Fate (2006-09-21)

Man, people are still up in arms about Ronnie. It's like they can't separate this band from their original vocalist; it's understandable, but he only sang on their EP and this album. Went to the big house after that. A guy was shot. Ronnie was a suspect. You can Wiki the rest. He drove himself insane writing 'The Drug In Me Is You' at the clink. Turned out to be Ronnie's best work, though many consider this, the debut from Escape The Fate, to be the finer record. It was certainly important for the scene. I mean, come on. It made ROnnie Radke famous.It's also entirely different to the music they'd put out under Craig Mabbit's tutelage. Later on, they tried to bridge the gap between 80s hair metal and metalcore, but this album finds them flirting with emo and post-hardcore. You know, the good stuff. Not quite as refined as later albums (I'm sure this spent a lot of time in the earbuds of high school kids around 2006), you'll find it has a more passionate character, and you'll want to go back for more. A neat thing about Escape The Fate; they excel at writing refrains. There isn't a single tune here you won't fall in love with. Each one drips with sweet honey. This album is much less metal-minded, with Ronnie's witty lyrics and powerful mid-range vocals acting as exorcist.Ronnie is a talented dude, a great songwriter, a versatile vocalist (check out the range of sounds on 'Fashionably Late'), and while he got the shaft with ETE, he left behind what many consider to be the finest emo album of all time. Wouldn't say that personally, but it's definitely classic material. Most of the songs use a pop-punk structure, feature clean and harsh vocals from Radke (mostly spat against the pop shield as he narrates another homeroom tragedy), then the chorus hits out of nowhere and boom! They've got you. Won't be forgetting those lyrics any time soon. Ronnie is awesome on this album. He pretty much made the band worthwhile until Craig stepped and they made 'This War Is Ours'. Dear God, that is such a rad album.Monte Money was still around for this one, laying down punk melodies and metalcore riffs. It's not really an air-guitar album. The songs are all about loss, heartache, sorrow; things we hope you've grown out of. It's kinda sedate, which is why it's a great, crowd-pleasing album for the sesh. Everyone knows classic jams like 'Situations' and 'Not Good Enough For Truth In Cliche', but there are far better tunes on here then those. Look at 'The Webs We Weave'. A definite post-hardcore tune with some of Radke's best vocal work. There's the heartbreaking yet head-banging 'When I Go Out, I Want To Go Out On A Chariot Of Fire'. This one here, best chorus on the album. And then of course, 'The Guillotine'. On each record until 'Ungrateful', the band included a new chapter of the story, keeping the heaviness and traditional metal style of the first. Hilarious how Ronnie finished it up with 'The Guillotine IV - The Final Chapter' on 'Just Like You'. Gotta love that guy.If you're a post-hardcore nerd who likes screamo, pop-punk, and hooks so big they could hoist a Great White out of the ocean, then you already know this one inside out. For everyone else readying this, make it your next blind purchase. A legendary offering.

My granddaughter loved this book although I thought that the cover was gruesome. lol

I love this CD so much! its arguably the best of escape the fate, and i absolutely love Ronnies vocals!

really happy with the album

Not a duff track on it.

Very happy with product

Stunning, not much more to say. I can't stop listening to it! I am forcing myself to listen to other stuff so I don't wear it out lol.

Fab!

En su época varias canciones de este Álbum eran muy escuchadas.Banda alternativa que degeneró y acabó en el olvido.Dejó canciones muy escuchadas en el periodo 2004-2008.

Ich liebe Escape the Fate und ihre Musik. Auch dieses Album hat einen wieder nicht enttäuscht! Großartige Songs, viel Action.Auch die Lieferung war schnell und pünktlich.Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung :)

Oldschool etf, werden wir wahrscheinlich nicht mehr hören und sehen. das Album an sich gefällt mir gut,mbesonders das lied situations ist mein persönlicher Favorit

Cd in perfette condizioni e consegna sempre puntuale. Album bellissimo, la voce di Ronnie è e rimarrà unica

All ok

Die Aufmachung ist wirklich super und auch ein Booklet mit den Songtexten ist vorhanden. Ich bin begeistert von dieser CD.

10/10 would buy again.

bin durch zufall auf dieses album gekommen und muss sagen ich finde es klasse. Macht einfach gute laune es zu hören

Un album fantastique, grand chanteur, loin du cliché, des musiciens de talents, accrocheur, violente sans trop l'être, créatif, original. Un must-have

Die Scheibe kracht einfach ohne Ende!Vorallem der ultraschnelle Lead- Gitarrist macht seine Sache echt gut! (bestes Beispiel: My Apocalypse)Hab selten eine Band mit soviel Power in den Liedern gehört.Jeder der nicht von Emo-Core abgeneigt ist sollte mal reinhören.

初期Escape The Fateの1stアルバム現在は主にメタルコアに近い音楽性だがこの時は思いっきりスクリーモをやっている代表曲であろうThere's no sympathy for the dead捨て曲がないアルバムだがこの曲の完成度が飛び抜けている3人のシャウトの掛け合い、ロニーの特徴的な声しかしなんて言っても、この曲のメインソングライターのオマー(不確かですごめんなさい)とモンテの二人のギターソロが光っているとおもうまた、Not good〜のサビでのロニーとモンテのボーカルの相性が素晴らしくあっている現在はクレイグというボーカルを迎え入れ個性があまり強くないメタルコアらへんのバンドになってしまったがETFを語る上でこのアルバムそしてロニー&オマーの活躍は欠かせないとおもうとにかく捨て曲がないので聞いてみるべきです!

最高すぎる。１曲目からカッコよくてずーっと飛ばさずに聴けた＾＾声も気に入ってて、何度聴いても飽きないアルバム。特に好きなのは#3 #4 #6 #7 #8 #10 #11

ツボでした♪結構脱スクリーモだ、叫ばなくなっただなんだのってリスナーの間で言われてるみたいですが、普通にカッコイイと思います。ジャンルにこだわらず聴けばこのバンドの良さもわかるかも!?

スクリーモバンドの１ｓｔ。高クオリティのスクリーモをやっており、歌メロもキャッチャーで良好。タイプは違うがＢＦＭＢやＡ・セブンフォールド、ＳＯＴＹなどのアリーナロックに接近するスケールのでかさが漂っている。それは今後の展開次第だろうが、とりあえず強烈すぎるブレイクダウンとかは止め、より鮮烈な音を作ってもらいたい。"

Speaking as a fan before this album was released, this album is the highlight of their career.Ronnie Radke, the lead singer before Craig, is what makes the band and the album.His voice is raspy, but it helps you in feeling the emotion of the song. Bone chilling on certain tracks. That alone is worth listening too.To be honest this band, and this specific album, is when they hit their prime.Anything with Craig in it feels like they have gone mainstream and just does not have the same feel as they did before.I would give this album three thumbs up if i could.
