Background and recording

Machine Gun Kelly, birth name Colson Baker, had released four studio albums through the 2010s. While his first four studio albums had been hip hop/rap styled, by the end of the decade, Baker started moving into a rock music direction.[3] In 2019, Baker appeared in the film The Dirt, a biographic film about the band Mötley Crüe where he played drummer Tommy Lee.[4] The same year, Baker released his fourth studio album, Hotel Diablo, which ended with the track "I Think I'm Okay", a more rock-leaning song collaboration with Yungblud and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.[3][5] It was released as a single and became very popular,[5] hitting number 8 on the year-end Billboard US Hot Rock Songs[6] and ended up being certified platinum in the US.[7]

Baker, wishing to explore the sound further, booked a day in recording studio to work with Barker, to record what would become the song "Bloody Valentine".[5] The session was so powerful to Baker that he asked Barker to set aside two months for them to collaborate on an entire studio album, to which Barker obliged.[5] For much of the rest of the year, Baker would refer to working on the album informally referred to as "the untitled pop punk project".[2] Along with Baker on vocals and guitar, the entire album would feature Barker on drums and as a producer.[2]

Other collaborations in the studio include Bert McCracken of The Used,[8] Halsey on the track "Forget Me Too",[9] Blackbear on the track "My Ex's Best Friend",[10] Goody Grace,[11] Mod Sun,[11] Trippie Redd,[12] Young Thug,[12] and another collaboration with Yungblud.[12] The collaborations with McCracken and Yungblud were left off the standard edition of the album, but released on the "Sold Out" deluxe edition released four days after the standard edition.[13] The McCracken and Yungblud collaboration, "Body Bag", features heavy similarities to Fall Out Boy’s 2005 single "Dance, Dance", which require clearance from the band for use, which was given by Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump just a day prior to release.[14] Baker also noted that the albums originally concluded with a track titled "Times of My Life", but that he couldn't get authorization to publish the song from Tom Petty's estate, who felt the hook was too similar to a song of Petty's.[13]

Themes and composition

Contrary to the hip-hop style of Baker's first four studio albums, Tickets to My Downfall was designed by Baker to be a pop punk album.[1] Baker created a more guitar-driven and live instrument sound in hopes of inspiring a younger generation to learn guitar.[5] He wished to use the sound to branch out to a larger demographic as well, and succeeded, with Baker noting that his own father liked his music for the first time in his career.[15] Tracks "Bloody Valentine" and "Concert for Aliens" were both described as "pop punk", while "My Ex's Best Friend" was described as having a more modern take on the genre, not quite "the same 'classic' pop punk vibe".[16] The album's delay to September 2020 was something Baker felt worked out in the end, as he noted that the album has a summery, good-times vibe that he felt people could appreciate in enduring the COVID-19 lockdowns.[5]

Baker used a metaphor related to the Goodyear Blimp to explain the meaning of the album title, stating:

As soon as that Goodyear Blimp catches on fire, or that thing starts falling from the sky, I guarantee you every single eye is going to look up at it; every single phone is going to capture that moment; every single person is going to talk about that, right? ‘The Goodyear Blimp fall from the sky.’ But do the headline ever say when you wake up on this casual fuckin’ Wednesday that the Goodyear Blimp is floating, alive and well? No. And that’s kind of sad: that it takes you to crash and burn to get people to pay attention to you again. Tickets To My Downfall couldn’t have been my debut album because...I had to get to a certain height to then decline and crash, and people are aware of this height that I’m at, and they don’t want to see it rise anymore; they want to see it crash. There had to have been a journey for people to care about to still be tuned into, to then see destroy.[17]

Release and promotion

The album was originally expected to release in early 2020 after Baker's repeated teasers in late 2019 and early 2020.[5] The COVID-19 pandemic would delay album release plans.[5] Baker used the time in lockdown to record a series of live-streamed performances, titled "LockdownSessions", including a rendition of Paramore's "Misery Business", something that caught the attention of music publications due to Hayley Williams's own denouncement of the song's lyrics earlier in the year.[18][15] Baker also live-streamed a cover version of Rihanna’s "Love on the Brain" at the request of Marilyn Manson.[19] Both songs became bonus tracks for a Target store special edition of the album.[20]

The album's first formal single, "Bloody Valentine" was released on May 1, 2020. As of early August, the song had over 30 million YouTube views.[1] At the time of the release, Baker announced that the album had been delayed to summer 2020.[5] A second single, "Concert for Aliens", was debuted on the nationally televised broadcast of Good Morning America, and later released on August 5, 2020.[21] A music video was released a week later, which involved the band performing in front of a large crowd of aliens.[22] A third single, "My Ex's Best Friend" featuring Blackbear, was released on August 7, 2020,[16] and has peaked at number 28 on the US Billboard all-format Hot 100 chart.[23]

On September 7, the album's tracklist and cover art were released.[24] However, later in the day, it was found that the album artwork - a sketch of a man falling down - unbeknownst to Baker, was closely modeled after a photograph that they did not have the legal rights to use, causing Baker to apologize and announce that a new album cover would be created.[25] He later noted he had signed thousands of copies of the album with the outdated album artwork.[26]

The album was released on September 25, 2020,[1] and a livestream of a live performance of the entire album was performed on October 1, 2020.[27] In September 29, a deluxe edition of the album, dubbed the "Sold Out" edition, was released, featuring four new songs, the band's "Misery Business" cover, and an acoustic rendition of "Bloody Valentine".[28][29] Concurrently, a music video for the track "Drunk Face" was also released.[30]

On November 22, 2020, Baker announced he'll be turning the album into a musical movie which is set for release in January 15, 2021.[31]

The album received positive reviews from critics, who praised Kelly's successful transition from hip-hop to pop-punk. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Tickets to My Downfall received an average score of 72 based on 6 reviews indicating "generally favorable reviews".[43] Wall of Sound praised the album, citing Barker's drumming, production and concluding that "What the album lacks in lyrical substance though, is made up for with the abundance of infectious pop melodies and catchy rock choruses."[42] Kerrang! was similarly positive, praising the album for being "...a slick sideways hop from what you might be expecting from Machine Gun Kelly, it's done excellently. It celebrates everything great about pop-punk without feeling cookie-cutter or third division", and disagreed with Wall of Sound's assessment of the lyrics, praising them for its "open-diary honesty that fills the whole album, confessional and unflinching".[36] In a much more critical review, Sputnikmusic claimed the album was a "completely egregious copy-paste of Blink 182’s glory day sound" and the "pop-punk equivalent to Greta Van Fleet's soulless imitations of Led Zeppelin".[40]

Commercial performance

Tickets to My Downfall debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200 all-format albums chart, moving 126,000 album equivalent units in its first week.[44] This debut became the highest of his career to date, tripling the opening numbers for his prior album, Hotel Diablo in 2019, and made it the first rock album to top the chart in just over a year, since Tool's album Fear Inoculum in September 2019.[44][45]

In Australia, the album debuted and peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart for the chart dated 5 October 2020, held off from the number one position by Joji's Nectar.[46] The following week, the album fell two positions to number 5.[47]
