"Face to the Floor" is a song by American rock band Chevelle. It is the first single from the band's album, Hats Off to the Bull. According to the band, it is a "pissed off, angry song about people who got taken by the Ponzi scheme that Bernie Madoff had for all those years."[1] "Face to the Floor" reached No. 1 on Mediabase's Active Rock chart, and the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, their first No. 1 single since "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" and it also stayed No.1 for 12 weeks on the chart. It was also the band's last top-ten single (to date) on the Alternative Songs chart, where it reached No. 7. The song has been described as alternative metal[2] and post-grunge.[2]
Billboard rated "Face to the Floor" 80 out of 100, saying ""Floor" delivers nearly four minutes of the cathartic alt-metal fans have come to expect from Chevelle."[2] Liz Ramanand of Loudwire gave the song 4 out of 5 stars, praising it for its consistently "heavy, catchy guitar riffs".[3]
