Yeh cause the new Epitaph wave is fucking sweet ay, much better than pennywise, bouncing souls, pulley, ten foot pole and such. Douche

what do you mean thank god that's over ?...what you like the fact the epitaph turned into a fucking shitty screamo indie hiphop keyboard fagget label ?....and that a good band like pennywise is better off on a coporate monster like myspace records ?....fuck i really hate all you kids on this site ...since most of you were like 3 in the early 90's and youve all grown up on shitty music and you don't know any better ....i really don't think any one born after 1984 has any fucking musical taste anyway.....so just shut the fuck up go listen to whatever shitty music you have on your ipod and quit bitching about a era of music that you were still shitting your pants in ....all kids are douche bags

Calm down man. Kids on this site bash Pennywise cause it's a too popular band playing old fashioned punk rock immediately enjoyable by almost anyone. I think that most of them actually like Pennywise, but they have to act like they don't because this site is all about folk punk with acoustic guitar, early emo/post hardcore, Ramones-like pop punk and political melodic hardcore. They are not hipsters, they don't like the current Epitaph roster, they know something about music. They are just elitists.

dude...I wasn't dissing them. You really need to relax. You're also being quite the elitist by saying that anyone born after '84 have no sense of musical taste.

Seriously chill out...it's the fucking internet.

Jim was already a handsome man, but when did all these guys turn into hot chicks?

Cool video. I love the new album songs (although the production value is total shit).

Thanks for the post.

I don't mean to sound like a dick but I'm curious since you're always talking about production values and I don't know much about it. What are some punk albums that you think have great quality. I'm a drummer so I look for really resonant drums like the bouncing souls - Anchors away or Shook ones - Facetious folly feat. You seem to know a lot, what do you look for.

Pretty cool. I dumped on this song too much in my review of their new album. It's pretty damn good. I just reminds me too much of "Alien". And this video is awesome.

I thought bad religion was bad religion for frat boys

I don't get the whole frat boy and Pennywise association. Do that many frat tards even know about Pennywise? They're way more likely to listen to Seether or shit like that.

Whoever came up with the whole frat/Pennywise thing is a fucking retard.

JayTee (May 22, 2008)

I've never met a frat guy who knew who the hell Pennywise were.

Can we safely call Screeching Weasel "Ramones for misogynists"?

(note; I love weasel, but ben needs to shut his fucking mouth sometimes)

Despite the awful lyrics (bad even for Pennywise) damn if this hasn't been stuck in my head.

That was a sweet video, especially at the end when the band comes in

Great song, cool video.

This album is really fucking good. This the best album they;ve put out since "Land of the Free". The last two albums were terrible, but this is definitely a return to form...

wow, this is a bad religion song with idiotic lyrics.

plus i think the tune of "and the anchorman can't stop lying" is taken directly from stranger than fiction.

And the lamppost can't stop crying and and the anchorman can't stop lying...

They aren't in the same key, the Stranger than Fiction line ends up lower than it starts, the Western World line ends up higher than where it starts, it doesn't have the same meter... The only similarity is in the words, and come on... This is a classic example of someone looking for any reason at all, no matter how stupid, to dislike a song.

yahay (May 23, 2008)

and "ice ice baby" isn't identical to "under pressure" but i think we all get the point.

anyway, the lyrics are stupid. "waaaaaaaaah i don't wanna live here anymore!" seriously? i'm sorry that i don't like your favorite band but you don't have to get all huffy.
