Another masterpiece from this Richmond, Virginia melodic hardcore band. such a great follow up to one of the best records from the past ten years. Whoever the dumbass was who made fun of communism as sarcastically saying the soviet union was a "model for success" trying know something about history before you make statements like that. The only reason communism didn't work in teh soviet union was because towards the end it was no longer communism Stalin turned it into a sort of dictatorship and thats why it failed. As for China its population and ruthless leaders are problems and they probably have morons like you running around...............sorry for the history lesson but god some people don't know shit. "Yes, this world would INDEED be a better place if we had more communism. I mean, look at the Soviet Union and its corresponding nations! What a model for success!" very nice melodic HC record with intelligent lyrics! This record still rules all. What are you talking about "stupid pop punk riffs??" It's called Melody, lots of "hard" punk bands use it, ie., Good Riddance, Rise Against, Strung Out, Stretch Arm Strong, etc... to earlier comments, you cant have true communism, it doenst work, in one country, or a few. good one.....these guys still cant sing...plus whats with the stupid pop punk riffs? I thought these guys were harder than that. "Yeah Yeah Yeah I get the message. But this shit is lame...learm how to sing." Yeah Yeah Yeah I get the message. But this shit is lame...learm how to sing. I'm loving this album right now. Good but at this point I still like "Change is a Sound" better. yeah, nobody but me like Unknown Road "best pennywise cd in my opinion was unknown road" i like this cd for sure, yet i have to wonder why "amplify" is a track at all.... its exactly the same asthe chorus of blaze, why make them 2 different tracks? i mean it doesnt even sound any different.... ? Strike Anywhere rules, I wish they would go on tour with Pennywise... "Enough of this emo bullshit. These guys should give it up already." Enough of this emo bullshit. These guys should give it up already. i like pennywise, and i like strike anywhere and a-f, i do agree though fuck authority has to have been one the most mindless songs they've ever written How does Strike Anywhere "educate people on certain matters?" "Strike Anywhere is horrible. They sound just like a poor version of Pennywise. Why do bands insist on being direct ripoffs. Lets get some originality in this scene for pete sake!" Pennywise used to rarely sing about politics and sing more about personal issues, only on their last 2 albums have they really been overtly political. hence "fuck authority", catchy mindless bullshit This is a crazy cd. Fucking totally rocks and I can't say I truely disliked a single song. Just for the record, pennywise is shit. They only sing all that shit to get peoples attention and incite 13 year old kids to do stupid things, whereas bands like strike anywhere and a-f etc, educate people on certain matters. fuck bottle rocket fuck thrice fuck the sex pistols. theres a difference between making idiotic mindless comments about politics to get your band attention, and then making smart observations Hahahaha... I can't believe you shitheads hate the Sex Pistols for making fun of politics, but you like this crap... Just insanely funny. does anyone else agree that the last four songs sort of annihilate the rest of the album? i think you guys are forgetting that this band used to be indistunguishable from good riddance. anyways... this is a fucking great record. Yeah, I just checked out The Network, that HAS to be Billie Joe. By the way, the new Strike Anywhere kicks ass. Completely off-topic, but today I picked up an album on Adeline Records from a band called The Network...I'm 100% sure it's Green Day using aliases and masks. Sounds just like Billie... Stike Anywhere can closley resemble old pennywise if you muffle your ears and squint your eyes while you listen I'm a marxist and i hate the soviets, they ruined communism for all of us. Soviet communism was not how communism was intended to be used, therefore there really has never been a true communist nation and there never will be. Communism would never work, although it is ideal in theory. Yes, this world would INDEED be a better place if we had more communism. I mean, look at the Soviet Union and its corresponding nations! What a model for success! no shit, while pennywise try to be a political punk rock band strike anywhere are the real deal. This world/country would probably be a much better place if we had some of this "communist/socialist crap". Let's do away with the communist / socialist crap.... hehe, Strike Anywhere being a direct ripoff of Pennywise...good one... Strike Anywhere is horrible. They sound just like a poor version of Pennywise. Why do bands insist on being direct ripoffs. Lets get some originality in this scene for pete sake! 'he sounds more impassioned than Conor Oberst *persuing his seventh grade diary entries' 'he sounds more impassioned than Conor Oberst *persuing his seventh grade diary entries' Great record. not as good as Change is a Sound. which is also not as good as Trial By Fire's Ringing the Dawn. what the hell happened to that band anyway? to the post below, Frodus kicks ass. this album is rather slow. but still good. So that's how they do it. I agree with this review more than Aubin's. Although the first time I heard this I didn't think it was as good as Change is a Sound, two listens later I realized it was AT LEAST as good. well said. i love this album, and the review was really good in describing this album. its easily one of the top 5 of the year. 'he sounds more impassioned than Conor Oberst *persuing his seventh grade diary entries' conor oberst writes better lyrics than you. The only good thing about this band is that they remind me of Frodus. |
