The Riot BeforeFists Buried in Pockets (2008)Say-10 Records Reviewer Rating: User Rating: Contributed by: Ben (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on October 24th 2008
When I reviewed the Riot Before's 2007 EP, So Long, The Lighthouse, I mentioned that the band's best work was still ahead of them. While So Long... had some great songs on it, the EP was slightly uneven, both in songwriting and individual song production. With Fists Buried in Pockets, the Riot Before makes good on the promise they showed and delivers one of the best, most politically engaging punk albums of the year.

awesome.just awesome. so many feelings. Just got this... SOOO fucking good! Best release this year Fantastic! Fantastic record. The Riot Before just keep getting better! i dunno, i feel this album is full of potential, like they didn't queit hit it on the head yet, but at the same time its good...one of those albums that mkes me look forward to their next. Great album, though "I Have My Books" is ridiculously bad, especially compared to everything else. Almost want to burn a copy of the cd without it just so I wouldn't have to skip it all the time. They're a young band though, so they're allowed a couple missteps. This record is so good. This exceeded my expectations, really good album. Score is for the grammar in this review. Definitely in my top 5 for the year. I like listening to the subtle differences in re-recorded songs, and Threat Level Midnight is an amazing song on this and SLTLH. this is my record of the year yup, it's great!! i really like the lyrics in 5 to 9 this is for sale in my distro for like $4 or something, if anyone's interested. I can see this album being in my top 10 of 2008 great band. glad they didn't rerecord "the uttica stare." don't have this yet but i'll most definitely pick it up. okay, so i hate to be the buzzkill here, but really... One of the best albums of the year! Agreed on "Words Written Over Coffee". Score's for that. absolutely amazing. "Words Written Over Coffee" is one of the best songs I have ever heard, the lyrics are incredible. These guys are insanely good - everyone needs to give them a chance. awesome awesome | Features
