I didn't mind the first 5FDP song I heard back in 2010, I actually liked it, but every other song I've heard since has really not been my style. Although that one dealing with war was pretty decent. Probably going to sound harsh here, but it sounds like overproduced commercial hard rock that would fit well alongside Nickleback in some sports video game's soundtrack. I also, find it weird how the band seems to take itself so seriously with songs like "Fake" calling out "commercial" music artists or whatever. It just seems like they don't have a self-conscience.
I mean, I like music that is pretentious (like in a fantasy sort of cheesy over-the-top way.) And I like my share of really really polished music, but this particular style in this way is really not something I like. It doesn't help that these songs get played on plug.dj a lot, lol. Hearing them once, it's passable, but hearing 5FDP songs again and again when you're not into it is something I wish I hadn't experienced.
They do obviously put work into their music, so if it's a style you like, then it makes sense that them being proficient at the style would make someone else a fan. It's just not something I could ever get into. I would say on a more unbiased level the song in question may be a seven out of ten if I was really in the right mood for it, but with how my tastes are and how tired I am of them, it's got to be a three out of ten right now.
