That was from their previous album, The Resignation.

kingofsuck (June 19, 2006)

In high school for my English class I was in a group that had to do a project about the neo-Nazi movement. So we made a video presentation and used "White Power" in it. It really freaked out a lot of kids in my class for some reason.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

great song

Someone (June 19, 2006)

well sounds like you were making a poor attempt at a joke.

but you like or at least tolerate skrewdriver so you have shit taste in music that doesnt matter. i dont care how cool you thought skrewdriver was "before the turned racist" or whatever the fuck

Someone (June 19, 2006)

what part of "i hate skrewdriver" made you think I was a fan? i was using it as an example of just how much I think RXB suck. so chill out fag.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

what part of "tolerate" dont you understand?

and its all relative. the fact that you hate this band more...

what do you like then? what are you a fan of?

Someone (June 19, 2006)

bound for glory

Someone (June 19, 2006)

again, you don't get it.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

and its all relative. the fact that you hate this band more...

actually, its clear that you dont get it.

who do you like? what bands

Someone (June 19, 2006)

none of your business. go suck a penis

Someone (June 19, 2006)

nice one, hows 7th grade treating you?

skaboom (June 19, 2006)

You're trying to reason with a skrewdriver fan. Don't be surprised that the only thing he can respond with is homophobic slurs.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

Lmao skaboom, you just said exactly what i was thinking

Someone (June 19, 2006)

axx (June 20, 2006)

EyesLikeBombs (June 19, 2006)

Ey, can a nigga get a link to the new album? Or can someone at least tell me what DC hub it's in?

3+ Replies

Someone (June 19, 2006)

i might, if you promise that you will actually buy it or erase it after listening to it. and you have to tell me why i should trust you

Someone (June 19, 2006)

more importantly, what the hell is the real tracklisting? i love these dudes and will support them every step of the way like seeing them on the 11th here and buying the album then, but i couldn't wait...

the copy i got has two songs called "untitled" one that is track 1 and one that is supposedly track 12. it's also missing "epoxi-lips" from the official listing. is one of those untitled songs it? can someone PLEASE post the correct listing, with song times so i know which is which for sure? thanks much.

EyesLikeBombs (June 19, 2006)

I can't honestly say I would. It might suck! It probably won't. But it might.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

i think thats what the deleting it part is about

EyesLikeBombs (June 19, 2006)

are you trying to fight me? We can do this right ehre.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

I'm no english major, but I believe the title of this album isn't grammatically correct.

4+ Replies

Someone (June 19, 2006)

it isn't and its not intended to be. and the jackass saying it sucks needs to try and play any of these songs on drums and then come back and say it sucks. honestly. i wanna hear a recording of this fucking jackass./

Someone (June 19, 2006)

well, whether they intended it or not, it is correct

Someone (June 19, 2006)

it IS gramatically correct. those are ellipses

for example, "the day ended with the city invaded, and the battle begun" is correct grammatically

therefore

"... and the battle begun" is also correct

ChokingVictim (June 19, 2006)

Wouldn't it be begAn, or am I just stupid?

miniblindbandit (June 19, 2006)

began or has begun. doesn't really matter though because it's an album title. rules of grammar don't apply.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

well, it makes sense both ways

the day ended with 2 things happening (begun works)

or the day ends with one thing (city invaded), and then a statement of what happened next (began)

ChokingVictim (June 19, 2006)

It's really fucking good.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

please dont host this album on a mass sharing website. these guys need all the support they can get. i mean, if you download it, i just hope you try and at least save up to buy it if you plan on continuing to listen to it

if you "preorder" it, they are shipping it next week, so you dont have to wait till about 2 weeks probably

Someone (June 19, 2006)

Their song on Rock Against Bush was really good, it was almost as good as Unity, or that None More Black song that schooled ass. Oh yeah, and is the new none more black any good?

So for review-writing purposes, since the official release date isn't until October, does this mean that if I write and submit a review that the earliest it would be posted is October?

Bob_Nanna (June 19, 2006)

i would really like to hear this album...and I WILL BUY IT!

so someone IM me on AIM at ooorxbanditsooo and send it to me.

Someone (June 19, 2006)

The album is really amazing... They've really made their own sounds. The musicianship of these guys is mind blowing, after giving the cd an honest listen... that is seriously hard to argue, even if its not your thing (meaning anyof the "this band sux" is coming from some immature middle school student or someone who doesnt know much about music). a lot more prog elements in it which I enjoy, but its not the least bit pretentious. The songs fucking groove so much and man does this band have soul...at the same time, they can seriously rock your face off better than most bands (see them live!). This isnt a ska band trying to put different styles in their music... its something else entirley and wow... I'm very impressed. Great things coming from this band!

MosesMalone (June 19, 2006)

I still say most of the people who say they suck have only heard "Analog Boy" and "Overcome."

The new CD is blowing me away. Every single release for this band has been a HUGE musical step over the last, and this is no exception.

Someone (June 20, 2006)

I'm very stoked about this record, very epic. Lyrically, I love this stuff. Embree's writing gets better and better, such an awesome message and the vocals are, as someone else said, very soulful. Musically... well they've managed to amaze me even more. Their technicalty is just... wow, drums guitars bass and I THINK some keys all recorded live. This bands sound remains somewhere in the same area as the resignation, but the songs are for the most part much more complex. I love how they use the keyboard in this band, and man... the use of the horns is beautiful, so unique. Anyway... like the guy above me said, not a band you can judge by just one of those songs. You want to hear some amazing music... pick up this record and trust me, check em out live, theyre touring now and their live show is worth it.

Someone (June 20, 2006)

new album is boring, uncohesive, and sloppy

I would lay money you are a hater and have not even heard the album, or you work at Drive thru records and your just pissed.
