Many of the songs are bursting at the seams with energy, grit and noise. To me, this album is a rendition of what Five Finger Death Punch could be like. This is a testament to the strength of Five Finger Death Punch’s music. Somehow, this album only spawned three singles. #5 The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1Īfter a lot of internal debating, headbanging and listening, I decided to place it in fourth place and almost every song on this album could have been a single. The question while constructing this list, quickly became how much do I weigh the volume singles, if at all? Do album sales factor in? In the end, I concluded I should follow what my ears love and my gut decides on. There are also some covers, specifically their version of “Bad Company”, that is worth replaying many many times. This makes it rather difficult to nail down an order to the albums.

These albums are full of singles, or songs that easily could have been singles. The second half of this list presents the real challenge, as Five Finger Death Punch’s top discs are all stellar, especially to someone who really enjoys the band. They also make for a good listen while grinding away at the gym, writing an essay late at night or zipping along to work.
Tracks such as “ Death Before Dishonor” and “ The Way of the Fist” illustrated my all-day Call of Duty marathons in high school. Chugging guitars urge the song forward while Ivan Moody’s mostly clean vocals deliver dark lyrics. It isn’t a ballad, nor is it a balls-to-the-wall metal song. “ The Bleeding” is an obvious take away track. However, this disc is packed with high energy tunes that invoke combative images, which is a trademark of Five Finger Death Punch. While this doesn’t sink the album, it doesn’t give it that unique and aggressive Five-Finger-Death-Punch-vibe that elevates the band above the rest. The biggest downfall of this disc is the obvious lack their trademark “death punch sound”. Their first album lands in the fifth spot. The lead single “Jekyll and Hyde” is probably their most catchy song to date. However, Got Your Six is still worth listening to, especially if you are a fan of the band or metal and hard rock. It is missing the focused, yet very agitated spirit this band carries with it. Even though it boasts a few good tracks, such as “ I Apologize” and “ Jekyll and Hyde”, this album falls short of their others. This choice was made because the first half of the album is loaded with some great songs, while the second half kind of peters out. I knew it was a toss-up between The Way of the Fist and Got Your Six. It was a tough choice deciding which album would come in last place. And so, after heartache and blistering decisions, this is the order I have chosen. They have a very good mix of slower, more emotional songs and headbanging anthems. To me, this is one of the most attractive features of the band. Their stylish sound is very unique, and very heavy. Most of their albums are filled with standout, single-worthy tracks. If you love the bass thumping sound they have been honing over the last decade, it becomes even harder to place them in any order other than a chronological one.
I’ve always believed they have a strong catalog, their album sales support this theory. They’ve been a favorite since I first discovered them in high school. Personally, Five Finger Death Punch is one of my favorite bands.
