''Fashionably Late'' is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band Falling in Reverse. Production for the album took place following the release of their debut album, ''The Drug in Me Is You'' in 2011. It is the only album to feature bassist Ron Ficarro, who would later be replaced by Max Green. The album was streamed through Epitaph Records' YouTube channel on June 12. ''Fashionably Late'' was released on June 18, 2013. ==Background== Since early 2012, vocalist Ronnie Radke had already announced a second album was underway following the 2011 release of their debut album, ''The Drug in Me Is You''. He had been talking about the album briefly, stating on Twitter that, "() don't understand how many light years my next album is from the last one". He and new bandmate Ron Ficarro tweeted pictures of them in the studio with Ryan Ogren working on some new music. Ronnie said a little bit about the new album to Marshal Music News; "The last record was so vengeful and bitter and spiteful - so everyone is wondering what I'm gonna sing about next. And I'm just not quite ready to let people know. I'm sorry. When people hear the new stuff though I promise you they will lose their mind... We're demoing new songs right now, as we speak, and I'm telling you, people are seriously gonna lose their mind." During their performance at Dirt Fest 2012 in Birch Run, Michigan, Ronnie announced to the crowd that it would be their last show before returning to the studio to dedicate themselves full-time to the creation of the band's second album. Ronnie also said in an interview that they would be in the studio late 2012 with demos already and hoping for an early 2013 release. The band went through late 2012 and early 2013 with no mention of the album at all. Finally, in issue number 1442 of ''Kerrang!'' magazine, Ronnie Radke announced in an interview that "The record's finished! That's what we did after the Warped Tour. We just didn't tell anybody!" He also said "(will be released ) early next year (2013 )!" On May 7, the band released the first single and music video, "Alone", from the album. The title, ''Fashionably Late'', was officially announced along with the cover and a June 18, 2013 release date, with preorders for the album beginning the same day. Radke spoke about the album and the addition of new sounds, including hip-hop and electronic elements, saying that, "My dad raised me on metal, but my first serious love was hip-hop," Ronnie explains. "When I heard Dr. Dre's ''The Chronic'', that's when I fell in love. I didn't know what the hell they were talking about, the beats were intertwined, and it came inside of me and took me over. When we added hip-hop elements I was thinking, 'Should I do this? This sounds crazy! Are people going to like this?'" He also expressed satisfaction with the album over Falling in Reverse's debut album as well as his first album with Escape the Fate, stating, "...I've never been so proud of something. The final product... is the best work I've ever done."〔 The album is also the first that drummer, Ryan Seaman and bassist, Ron Ficarro fully contributed to and recorded with the band. The deluxe edition of the album includes three bonus tracks, an expanded album booklet, and a double-sided band poster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fashionably Late (Falling in Reverse album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
