Hollywood Undead are back with their fifth album aptly named Five. This is the first we’ve heard from HU since 2015’s Day of the Dead. Let me be the first to tell you, the wait will be worth it! The album comes with 14 tracks and a whole lot of what we love from the guys and some newer stuff we haven’t heard from them before.

There are four songs available already to download and stream including the first single “California Dreaming.” It speaks of the allure of Los Angeles but also the dark side of the place they call home. It’s got some cool guitar parts and an insanely catchy chorus. If you haven’t already heard it, definitely go check it out!

“Ghost Beach” immediately caught my attention because it’s something we haven’t heard from HU before. The song has all clean vocals with none of the signature rap sound. It’s a bit more stripped down and really quite beautiful. It’s become one of my favorites on the album.

“Black Cadillac” was my favorite upon my first listen through of the album. It has all the classic HU sound with a special feature from B-Real of Cypress Hill! The dirty beat on this one will have you dancing for sure.

I really dig “Riot” as well. It has a fun electronic sound to it. I can’t wait to blast this at a party. If this song doesn’t get you hyped, I don’t know what will. I really hope I get to see them perform this one live some day. I can just imagine the crowd losing their minds when they say “Fuck this shit, let’s start a riot!”

Slated for an October 27 release, Five is one album you need to get your hands on. It’s been in heavy rotation for me the last couple months and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. This may actually be my favorite Hollywood Undead album to date. Check it out for yourself and then thank me when you can’t stop listening to it. If you like what you hear, make sure to go see them live. They are on tour now through December in the US with the Butcher Babies. It’s gotta be a sick show and I can’t wait to see it when they swing through my town.
