Of Mice & Men is releasing their third album called "Restoring Force". They recently released an single called "You're Not Alone". The song was DECENT, and honestly, it was nothing more. I was disappointed, but I was prepared to be. First of, the song doesn't really sound like the OM&M we all know and loved, or hated, now of course they said they weren't going to be the same, Austin's vocals suck now, Arron Pauley(Ex-Frontman of Jamie's Elsewhere) was completely wasted in this single. Of Mice & Men's new single doesn't even sound like metalcore it sounds hard rock. I understand band's will evolve, that's nice, change happens, but I don't wanna hear Hard Rock from a band that's released two pretty darn good metalcore albums, it showed they had potential to be good. In My Opinion - They should have broken out of the generic metalcore sound and made something lyrically(I'l get to that in a second) and instrumentally inspiring. For a LOT of people this song did no such thing. The lyrics in this song are VERY cliche handing you feels in a cup sort of lyrics, it has a message at the very least, so I guess I'll give them points for that. But as a lyric writer myself(I'm In A Band) I would've delivered this lyrics in a deeper and more intelligent way. That isn't what they were meant to be do, I get that. Overall the single was boring and a HUGE disappoint to a lot of people. I'm not going to deem the album a flop yet, but I'm only expecting to be disappointed even farther.
