It might sound like casual violence here, but if you look deep inside, you will see that it’s absolutely pure violence in its highest form. This is like bad religion, but with more fucking energy. The lyrics are so good on this album, and they just do the whole "us vs. them" idea in a very funny and fucked-up way, and it’s awesome. The dope lyrics are backed up by some hard ass punk riffing that never quits and some solid ass drumming that helps put some spice in your butt and make you want to move all night. They do a good job of having some unique guitar tuning and playing that makes each song familiar yet distinctive. The drums just hit so hard and are in the pocket throughout this album. The bass does add a lot to the rhythm of the songs and can be felt deeply. There are a few moments where the bass is a bit lost in the mix, but it’s not too noticeable. The mixing and production here are executed very well. The only criticism I would have here is that the vocals can be a bit bland and make it feel like he was picked off the streets to do vocals, which seems out of place. However, backing vocals and guest vocals help give the songs that raw edge to make up for the vocals at times.
RATING: 9/10
