Being a newer fan to Anti-Flag and only catching their albums (The Terror State and For Blood and Empire) I will admit my ignorance along the lines of their earlier work with what little I know of it.
Something that I have noticed with a large majority of the negative reviews about this album is how they view the political aspects of the album and of the band, as well. Is this not a cd? Does the cd not have MUSIC. How about having a critic on just the music itself like how many of the songs have strong messages and I've been hearing some impressive bass parts along with very catchy songs.
I don't know who Crass is and I don't care. It's all a matter of opinion and if you don't like the album, that's your deal. I think it's pretty solid.
Though, I will say this. Something that I have never liked about Anti-Flag is their music is so limited. You can only write so many songs about the same topic before it gets old. Something that I have always appreciated with bands is versatility with writing songs. So far from what I've heard, it's just all politics... though that is the path that Anti-Flag has chosen to take and they have stuck with it ever since. So kudos to them.
