Just Like You is the third studio album by American rock band Falling in Reverse. The album had a full stream uploaded to Falling in Reverse's website on February 17, 2015, and was later officially released through Epitaph Records on February 24, 2015. It is the last album to feature lead guitarist Jacky Vincent who announced his departure in late 2015 and would be replaced by Christian Thompson. The album featured the return of the band's former sound after their previous album, Fashionably Late , had a mix of rock and rap. The album is the first to be recorded without an official bassist, with Charles Kallaghan Massabo playing bass on the record.

Reception

The album received generally favorable reviews and was much more well-received than Fashionably Late. It received an overall review of 72/100 on Metacritic. Some critics labelled it as the band's best album, with others believing that it is Ronnie Radke's best work. The album was widely hyped up to be a "sequel" to Ronnie Radke's first album Dying Is Your Latest Fashion with Escape the Fate for featuring the return of Falling in Reverse's former sound and also containing two songs ("Guillotine IV (The Final Chapter)" and "My Apocalypse II") that serve as sequels to the original songs included in Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.

Alternative Press said that "Falling In Reverse have given fans the rare gift of an artist stepping back to the sound they originally fell in love with.", giving the album a rating of 90/100. Revolver Magazine gave it a great review of 90/100, saying "Post-hardcore fans will certainly enjoy what is Falling in Reverse’s strongest record to date." Some other critics agreed, yet not as strongly; for example, Sputnik Music said that the album was "the best Falling in Reverse songs" but with "a few exceptions", and gave it an average score of 66/100.

Despite general favorable reviews, there are some critics that did not give any sort of praise on the album. For instance, one critic from Punk News' website was straightforward in their review by saying "Seems like a deliberate maintenance to cash in on the Warped Tour crowd because there's no substance, nor any style, to this record, as has been the case for FIR for years now.", giving the album a very low score of 10/100.

The album was ranked number 50 on Rock Sound's list of top 50 releases for 2015. [8]
