Asking Alexandria’s most subtle album is significant. The growls aren’t as apparent, but the melody is there to behold. They’re still kings of their own destiny and are a relevant unit of musicians who speak the truth.

Like A House On Fire is an album that ebbs, flows and branches into numerous shapes and directions. It’s also yet another Asking Alexandria album that will divide opinion. And, once again, the band themselves are unlikely to care.

Like a House on Fire won't win over the haters, but it is a massive improvement over anything Asking Alexandria have done before. The bar wasn't high, but credit where credit is due.

Asking Alexandria have committed admirably to their new incarnation, but too much of Like A House On Fire doesn’t quite nail the big finale.

Asking Alexandria have officially gone swimming, and it'll be up to longtime fans to decide whether or not the water is fine or not.

Imagine Dragons but if they were like the emos of South Park.
I have never been an Asking Alexandria fan, I've never liked them very much, but as a lot of people, I had my metalcore phase in which I used to listen artists such as Bullet For My Valentine or BMTH, which I think is the closest I've ever been to this band's music.

What do i ask alexandria?????????? Why his album is so bad?????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ???????????.
From when I was a teen in his metalcore phase, I formed fond memories of this band. But god, how bad they've aged. I have no idea why I was even surprised that they'd stoop this low. They were never really that great to begin with, and this feels like a last ditch effort to stay alive and grab a more mainstream audience. It feels like they're trying to do what Fall Out Boy did, but way too late.
Asking Alexandria has always been a part of that era of metalcore, which I can't stand, but I decided to give Like a House On Fire a chance either way, and I guess you can say they really exceeded my expectations. Rather than going down the metalcore lane, they return with what is basically radio hard rock, even pop rock at points, and they do nothing to make it tolerable. It's creatively bankrupt, very melodramatic, has no bite, has ridiculous lyrics, and is way overproduced. While I think ... read more
