Day One is the debut studio album by American rock band From Ashes to New. The album was released on February 26, 2016.[3] A deluxe edition was released on November 18, 2016 which contains the acoustic version of Lost and Alone and three new tracks.[4]
Critical reception
The album received mixed to positive reviews. In a positive review by RockFeed, reviewer Brian Storm states "Day One features a plethora of larger than life choruses and infectious melodies, something that will likely pay off for them on rock radio."[5] and in another positive review by Randy Shatkowski of Anti-Hero Magazine, he says that "The triple-threat of clean, soaring vocals, in your face rap, and guttural roars makes for a unique combination, even if the individual pieces have been used before.".[3] Johnny Guagliardo of KillYourStereo.com says in a mixed review that "Day One seems to follow some (unintended) weird formula, which gives you a good song then a not so good one..." and goes on to say that "They’re recycling everything you heard in 1998, 2003 and then once again in 2007, merely under a new packaging."[6]
