It's heartening to see a post-millennial punk band upholding the legitimate politicized anger--and defiant hope--that stirred the original class of '77 and the hardcore bands of the mid-'80s. And although the band's music sounds current, with hints of thrash and other more recent sounds, their overall vibe is an homage to the simple, powerful, message-heavy music of their forebears. Anti-Flag's ninth studio album includes intense jeremiads about consumerism, the dismal economy, the greed behind both, the never-ending war in Iraq, and the bright flashes of optimism that reside in all of us. Stand-out tracks include the hardcore-ish "No War Without Warriors (How Do You Sleep)" and "On Independence Day," which shows off bassist Chris #2's chops.

Tracks:

1 - Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C. (Sheep in Shepherd's Clothing)
2 - Economy Is Suffering... Let It Die
3 - Gre(a)t Depression
4 - We Are the One
5 - You Are Fired (Take This Job, Ah, Fuck It)
6 - This Is the First Night
7 - No War Without Warriors (How Do You Sleep?)
8 - When All the Lights Go Out
9 - On Independence Day
10 - Old Guard
