66 of 69 people found the following review helpful  Five Finger Death Punch - American Capitalist, October 11, 2011 Five Finger Death Punch's third studio album American Capitalist firmly continues the formula which the band had established on their previous two releases, especially their sophomore release War Is The Answer. This 2011 album is comprised primarily three minute tracks full of bouncy riffs, flailing double kicks and a mixture or hard verses with radio choruses. If you are new to the band, the best way people have found for describing them is as a mixture between elements of Vol. 3 era Slipknot and Pantera, which does a fair job of describing the band's everyman metal approach and mixture of commercial moments with stomping heavy sections. It isn't progressive, it isn't extreme and it isn't electronic; American Capitalist is pretty much just pure and simple American Heavy Metal with a lot of melody, perhaps a too little cheap or cheesy for some more discerning listeners, but wholly enjoyable for the rest.

14 of 15 people found the following review helpful Knocked out in round 3, October 11, 2011 They avoided the sophomore curse and continue to impress. So if you told me a few years ago that no band could mix the old school power of bands like Pantera and the progressive guitar work coming out of northern Europe I would have said "can't be done". Five Finger Death Punch deliver on every level of the new metal scene on their third album American Capitalist. It has searing guitar solos, powerful vocals, meaningful lyrics and a double bass kick that will simply kick your ass. Don't believe me, just check them out.

11 of 12 people found the following review helpful A must have album, October 13, 2011 A great album to have for knuckleheads and hard rock/metal fans alike. For returning FFDP fans curios about the album, buy it! You will not be disappointed. All the heavy hitting riffs from Way of The Fist and all the more melodic mix of War is the Answer makes it back for an even better 3rd album. I am not let down by a single song off this album. One song you want to go crazy and start a middle of the street mosh pit and the next song youll be singing your heart out. Some songs you want to (and probably will) do both. To any open-minded music fans looking for a new band to listen to, I suggest you pick up this album. Its got just about every side of music you could ask for. Heavy, Melodic, fast, slow, from 80's style ballad hits to the new standards of metal. Its all there. Five Finger Death Punch has been able to turn heads and attract ears from the start and this album only adds to show their amazing abilities as musicians and song writers.
