  • They aren't even pop punk anymore this is more like alternative or hard rock.

  • god damn. 2:30 just sounds perfect.

  • now they really can be "four beards strong".

  • Awesome song, should put it on band hero

  • All i gotta say is read the AP article, you'll respect them more for the change...

  • not about the band the band is awsome :)

  • God made coke.

    God made pepsi.

    God made me, oh so sexy.

    God made rivers.

    God made lakes

    God made you, well we all make mistakes.

  • Four Year Strong always!!!

  • People don't understand that "selling out" is playing the same old crap everyone wants to hear. FYS are doing the opposite of that. They're growing to be a more complex, original band, and not being pushed around by what other people think. Look at the Beatles: they got famous by playing poppy love songs. But then they changed their style up, played stuff that was completely different, following their inspiration. And they changed music forever.

  • @elijahsnyder lol your argument is a pile of crap, this is more radio friendly than anything they've done. if you like it that's fine but this is not groundbreaking or original. actually it's pretty much overdone.

    i still like it for what it is though don't get me wrong

  • So why are people hating this song, give me a real reason? Also this is still Punk lol

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms actually its more like alterntive rock and people are mad because its shitty when a punk band goes the way of alternitve rock to get more listeners it the first phase of the band going to shit for mainstream success and this sounds nothing like one of their usual songs and the change sounds boring its not as fun

  • @MichealZero1 When i heard this song live at terminal 5 with Rise against it was out of this world, sounded punk as fuck, maybe now after they recorded it they fucked it up and its maybe pre alt rock, its not a7f, I consider it punk or hardcore punk, but thats just my opinion

  • horrible song #3

    

  • this is terrible fuk u to think otherwise

  • This is punk music, a new generation...Im going to nyc ap tour with pride

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms How is this punk?

  • @RichieWilliams97 Played with rise against and ap tour= hardcore punk...you must not be so bright

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms Yeah, their other stuff is easycore, but this song isn't punk at all. Playing with Rise Against has nothing to do with their music anyway.

  • @RichieWilliams97 Bro, this is punk, I dont know how old you are, but this is punk, lol

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms lmao, What does my age have to do with anything? This is just alternative. There's nothing punk about this song or the other two they've put out.

  • @RichieWilliams97 You're young you prob think Hannah Montana is punk, im sorry but you're wrong

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms lol, come on man, that's just terrible. This argument's definitely not worth it.

  • @RichieWilliams97 Fine, lets just agree that its post hardcore punk and I shall stop being a cocksucker

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms This is post-grunge. ;)

  • @RichieWilliams97 KK thats good I guess

  • @RichieWilliams97 Oh fuck you ;)

  • @ItalianoZombieFilms You're welcome ;)

  • Dude I think I like this new stuff. Wasn't a fan of the last album.

  • P.S. If you are saying they are detaching them selfs from their roots you're nuts. I'm 25 years old and I would say my roots to even liking the music I do now had a lot to do with 90's bands and my mom listening to van halen contently when I was like five and they even covered some of the greatest 90's radio songs.

  • Keep doing and writing what you guys want to hear and think the fans will like. I just finished reading the AP story. Kids really don't get that you can't write the same record twice. Things get boring after a while and my ears crave new music all the time and this album is going to be FUCKING AWESOME!!! Thanks dudes! Can't wait to hear it in full. :)

  • I feel like FYS has been slowly detaching from their roots. Rise or die trying was the best album. and from there it was decent, and now this song shows a new side that im not sure I enjoy. FYS was so great to me because they could put strength and /meaning/ in their songs without slowing it down, it always kept me pumped and ready. I miss that.

  • @blinkster133 RISE was amazingggg. Last album sucked. I think I kinda like this new stuff. Just Drive was awesome. With that last album I was like ummm wtf are they going for here?

  • I'm so excited for the album! It comes out two days after my birthday, I'm going to use my birthday money to buy it.

  • Hereos get remembered, legends never die... always will support FYS

  • I usually hate people that say bands have changed blah blah, but i actually have to agree with the people saying that they really have changed for the worse. still not a bad song though i guess just not FYS imo

  • I'm really pissed that they kicked Josh out of the banned. They say they don't want synth in their band anymore but how do they expect to play their old stuff that didn't suck?

  • @linxtheletdown that is a really good point, and what about what the hell is a gigawatt, how will they play that?

  • @SuperKnapkin samething attack attack does now and a bunch of other bands. All prerecorded and played back live

  • @linxtheletdown Josh planned on leaving soon anyway. It just happened to play out they had no need for synth in their music anymore

  • @linxtheletdown Josh planned on leaving soon anyway. It just happened to play out they had no need for synth in their music anymore

  • @metaldude159 didn't know that, but my question is how do they play all their old stuff live? They had some awesome old songs that had synth in them.

  • @linxtheletdown They just play the song as if there was no synth. As screaming goes, both guitarists have a song where they hand their guitar offstage and grab the mic for a scream solo. Alan screams at What the Hell is a Gigawatt and Dan screams at Prepare to be Digitally Manipulated.

  • MAN THESE GUYS JUST KEEP ON GETTING BETTER!

  • Look, I hope for any band that when they want to catch a break, and they do, that their fans will be understanding what it takes to get to that point. They're not selling out; FYS has ALWAYS been about pop songs, regardless if they formed through hardcore riffs or pop punk. I'm still disappointed there was no chuggin though...

  • This reminds me sooo much of Saosin..anyone else??

  • @Wittminator fuck you 

  • @Wittminator I think Four Year Strong is better

  • @Wittminator I see what you mean, but honestly I prefer Four Year Strong as well.

  • I love this band!!! They are still epic! \m/

  • the chorus is catchy as hell

  • A Four Year Journey:

    Year one - Oblivious to the world (No song lyric)

    Year two - On top of the world (Maniac R.O.D.)

    Year three - Enemy of the world (Enemy of the World)

    Year four - Taking on the world (Falling On You)

  • @CorruptedMotives Yes, goood eye/ears!

  • @CorruptedMotives

    Four Year Strong. :)

  • I am very upset like a lot of you about Four Year Strong's recent change in direction, but this song is currently on repeat for me. I did not like the three new songs at first, but after I came to accept that my favorite feel good pop punk-core band was changing, I grew to love their new stuff. It's a LOT better than most of the generic rock songs out there, so I am going to embrace the change and hope that this will bring a new generation of listeners to FYS! Legends Never Die!

  • @wifiguy51 legends never die....as long as randy orton isnt in the house

  • I'm just going to assume that everyone complaining is 15 years old.

  • I just think the album art is fucking dope.

  • Four Year Strong > ADTR

  • @OutNorthrend their both pretty good but i agree that fys is better.

  • I'm pumped as hell for the album!

  • This..just feels watered down. It's just not enough. Something is missing (no not the keyboardist :P)

    It's good..just not great.

  • @kaoshurrikane94 yeah im sick of everybody saying that josh is the reason they sound different cuz synth with this would sound awful and i personally wasnt a big fan of the synth from the beginning anyway.

  • @chillmayhem i hope they don't have ANY breakdowns

  • damn... where the hell have i been all this time??! ///oh yeah... listening to metal... lol.... this shit rocks though.... 2:25 ... whoa.. a little headbangin riff.. 3:11 amazing \m/

  • @hoggiemedia i know you wanted a breakdown after 2:25, cause i did.

  • I love this one. "Stuck In The Middle" is growing on me and I really dislike "Just Drive."  Then again, I'm a hardcore kid, so RODT will always be my favorite. It's by no means selling out, and it still sounds great. It's extremely excellent production, and you can still hear all their talent on their instruments. It's personally not my favorite, and it's definitely different stylistically, but it's still good.

  • @hoggiemedia I'm glad that there are people willing to have their preferences but not bash the band for changing their sound. Thanks.

  • @hoggiemedia You are the most mature person I have ever seen on youtube. Thank you for existing.

  • @hoggiemedia LOL "HARDCORE KID" popcore faggot fuck you drop out

  • @Adamthejawn That wasn't even a sentence, that was just a jumble of words. And you're calling someone a dropout? The population of the internet grows dumber each day...

  • @hoggiemedia well said, agree 100%

  • @hoggiemedia I hope everything awesome in life happens to you, and that your enemies fall swiftly and dishonorably in battle.

  • @hoggiemedia What do you listen to disney songs, faggot. Go listen to NOFX they're good too

  • @hoggiemedia RODT has a few intense breakdowns but its such a pop punk album. I love it too but i wouldn't call it hardcore.

  • loving this,

  • don't know what all the hatin's for, i'm really digging this!

  • I'm happy with how they've gotten better melodies and harder voices

  • Four Year Strong haters are jelly of thier kick ass beards.

  • This came out on my birthday :'D!!!<3

  • I'm loving their new stuff. Though I don't believe this is their strongest song. It seems too generic. Still fucking amazing though.

  • still an amazing fusion of melodic punk and metal, still a fan. its called evolution

  • they are doing what they feel is right in their lives, plus they have a new producer. if they made the same music everytime it would get old. change is necessary. they haven't sold out at all. people on the internet clearly dont understand what selling out is. selling out is when its no longer about the music. its when it becomes about the money. FYS is playing whats in their hearts and to me thats more respectable than anything else and no one should ask anything more of them

  • It's like as the foo fighters start to suck fys comes in to fill the space in their own awesome way! great job guys

  • @DRM3594 erm.. foo fighters start to suck? I don't think so...

  • why do their voices sound different

  • Sounds like Story of the Year.

  • I really like the new direction they're going in, they've done something different on every album and I like that about them! This albums gonna be the shit!

  • People need to stop complaining. Their sound really hasn't changed that much. It's still the same four year strong we know and love.

  • why are they so slow??????

    they need to go back to the fast upbeat pop punky four year strong!!!!

  • @Snowmeo3 They still are you dumb ass

  • @dummer4staticam how is this "foo year strong"??? that's a refrence to the beginning of stuck in the middle. no foo fighters' songs sound like this.

  • @thbaumannn aha well idk i think it sounds a liiitle like the foo fighters too. the other song more so than this one but i still really like them both. fys can do no wrong.

  • hey guys stop the bitching, its just another scene that is theirs to hit up :D !

  • i miss RODT. but i still broke the replay button

  • still sounds like fys to me

  • still sounds like fys to me

  • Meh... they should never have got rid of Josh, end of story. They have replaced the metaly punk/semi hardcore sound with a.... realy average sound, imo.

  • people need to chill out this is one song complain about the their sound changing once you listen to the whole album

  • well im gonna go back to Rise or Die Trying...

  • I must be the only one who was really hoping fys was heading in this direction. in this day in age Im just happy its not pop or dubstep. theres so few bands nowadays doing this kind of music.. normally its hardcore if youre in this genre

  • no more post metal punk sound :(...... ok.

  • I'm really happy with the new songs. It's one more step. I mean...if you listen to Rise or die trying,it was kindda poppy stuff,it wasn't powerfull as Enemy of the world. Compare any song in RODT with any song in EOTW. The last ones are really differents. With this songs i feel the same. Are really differents to Enemy of the world,is more hardrock...and it's awesome!. But we have to wait to hear the full album to make a more accurate review.

  • This is so much cooler than ROD. I think this (so far) and Enemy of the World were WAY better than the older stuff.

  • I like both of the songs that have been released. Once you've made it you have enough freedom to experiment with your sound (see Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Green Day). Kudos to FYS for trying something new! It sounds more like songs like On a Saturday and Enemy, and although I don't like it AS MUCH as the pop-punk/happy hardcore kinda stuff, it's still some good music. =)

  • Synth players are pretty much obsolete now thanks to live sample/ MIDI triggering

  • The chorus in this song goes so hard. I don't think I'll ever grow to like "Stuck In the Middle," but at least there's hope for the new album. And to everyone saying "You're supposed to be -insert ignorant classification-" don't you think it's the band's prerogative to create their own sound? Just because their old music was classified as whatever genre doesn't mean they have an obligation to play into that expectation.

  • Comment removed

  • can i just recommend every1 listen to Boys No Good's album Never Felt Better and pretend it's the new Four Year Strong and and forget u ever heard this song or the other 1

  • BEARDCORE RISES AGAIN!

  • im glad josh left now it actually is FOUR BEARD STRONG

  • If u see they are lined up with beard level. start from the left: little beard, moderate beard, a lot of beard and mostly beard

  • My God,i came all over my keyboard

  • they better have breakdowns in their other songs...

  • @chilimayhem their breakdowns were the shit, but this is still awesome. i wouldnt be surprised if they dont have anymore hardcore breakdowns tho. they said they were trying for a totally new sound with this album. i mean theyre not using synth anymore.

  • remember when four year strong used to be good?

  • @ThisIsNoise25 Remember when people actually recognized good change when they heard it?

  • @TrickMyWarthog Lololol You'd consider this good change?

  • @TrickMyWarthog YES! idk if its better or worse, LOVE IT either way :D

  • @ThisIsNoise25 Yeah, and then they kicked out Josh...

  • @AdamHalaoui yaaaa josh did not get kicked out actually he left by his own will because he wanted to get more involved in his side project. josh was loved.

  • @WCD4LIFE Oh, I had heard that they just all voted synth out. but at any rate it's a bummer. Especially to compare the four albums.

  • @ThisIsNoise25 Remember when you could still find you prenis, fat ass?

  • EXCITED! I didn't even know they were making a new record.

  • i miss the keyboard :(

  • Instrumental sounds like anberlin , wich is not a problem to me. This new song is definetely AWESOME. Grats, bearded guys!

  • go back and re-record it at double speed and it might not suck. sellouts.

  • You guys are supposed to be Happy-Hardcore... i hear a lot of happy but not any hardcore...

  • @ryancallahan941 Happy hardcore is like trance electronica shit I think the word you're looking for is easy-core(name for pop punk/hardcore) but no they're not suppose to be easy-core they're suppose to be FYS and this sounds like a maturing FYS

  • @ryancallahan941 I don't hear any happy....

  • @lanefayssouxxx u serious bro? listen to the key the song is in..

  • This is the best part about bands espically Fys you get to watch them go through their musically years. There are some albums you will hate and some that you will be just like FUCK YES THAT WAS FUCKING ORGASMIC you dont have to like the new CD if you go to a show their going to play there old stuff too. And the more music they make the bigger the stage and shows go longer. SO suck it up you whinny cock sucking whores who bounce from band to band never happy because your father beat you :D

  • I don't think they sound THAT different, they don't have any synth but that's about it all the usual melodies and breakdowns or whatever are still there. Personally, I just really love that they're still bringing out new music!

  • @xRachelRossx Where the fuck do you hear breakdowns?!?!

    Nahhhh.

  • this is so like... wtfys?????

  • this album better have at least one breakdown in it XD

  • @RETROinversion186 actually fuck it, i think i will learn to love this album pretty quickly :D

  • @RETROinversion186 lol. enemy of the world was awesome...but I hate how they take the breakdown feel of their songs. but still, these guys are my favs

  • No, no, no, no - this can't be real. :(

    I understand the whole 'maturing' thing - but this is just a full blown change. & the fact that there's no synth just makes it so much more... less enjoyable.

  • @waterisgood555 there was barely any synth on the last album though haha

  • @wharfrat917 I know D: That's one of the reasons why it took me personally over about a month to even make the album listenable for me. I did warm up to it completely though.

    I just don't think I can get down with this. I'll still give it a chance - it sounds like a good... Winter album. (that's weird to say)

  • Too people expecting more pop punk, it's something they were going to grow out of eventually, I'm liking the change, they've matured nicely imo.

  • @SamForrestTube "May I never lose my youth and If I do, may I be forgettable" Set Your Goals. i dont mind changes i dont like transformations. still love FYS forever tho

  • Wait, FYS, are you taking on the world by any chance? Oh, couldn't tell.

  • For those who say they sold out, They didn't. They changed a little, and not for fame, just because they thought it sounded good. This isn't the selling out kind of change, this is them changing in a good way. This is still Four Year Strong, just a little different.

  • @airahzel20 Yeah, they used to, like an album ago. This bullfuck music isn't pop-punk; It's post-grunge/ ass-rock. Apparently you don't know how to judge music by the sound, just from what other people say. So, don't ridicule me for having a personality and thought process.

  • Song evokes the same feeling as "Enemy of the World" ( the song).

  • Those soft parts are weak as hell. These guys just don't riff like they used to, their music isn't as raw as it used to be (was a positive part of their style) and this is really just going even further downhill than Enemy of the World. That was a good album, but you could tell they were deviating from what made them amazing. This sounds like a new Offspring song -_-

  • @mustyoudie don't riff like they used too....did you hear the intro, one hell of a riff!

  • this sounds just like a maturation of Enemy of the World, the new album is going to be amazing

  • Once again this song is AWESOME!

  • The more hater comments, the less shit these guys will give. I fucking love FYS since 2006!

  • i love old shit. its raw.

  • Haters gonna hate, their growing up and so is their music get over it.

  • No breakdown? WTF?!

  • 2:30 I was waiting for the breakdown :(

  • someone get Alan another brew.

  • Can't.Fucking.Wait.

  • Stuck In The Middle gave me a boner. Falling On You made me jizz myself

  • @bobertsrule other way round for me

  • wayyy better than stuck in the middle i might add tho

  • ok im sick of hearing progression this progression that. you wanna talk about progression.. talk bout a day to remembers new album or even blink 182's new music.. THEY ARE STILL THE SAME BAND. but sound good. if i wanted to hear this shit i would listen to the fuckin radio. i will give the new album a chance cuz i ONCE called you my favorite band.. but chances are this shit wont grow me. never been let down in music quite as much as this in my whole life. WOW

  • @airahzel20 Are you retarded? This isn't pop-punk at all.

  • Who the hell cares who wrote it, or who is in the band. This sounds fantastic. Just throwing that out there. Penis. That is all.

  • This is like glorious sex...but for the ears!

  • Checkout my cool channel! :D
