Pros: great quality of songs, awesome and smart lyrics, it's ANTI-FLAG! Cons: None that I can think of...
First off, let me just get this clear for you: Anti-Flag does not mean Anti American, it means Anti-War. It means unity. Dont believe me? Buy A New Kind of Army and find out. In their booklet, it says that.
Pros: We know this band can do better. "Captain Anarchy" and "Consumer's Song" are great. Cons: We've heard the music, and the message before, and better.
Message over music. This is both the main problem with this CD, and a lot of recent punk music. There's no doubt that politics are important, especially in a market like this, but they become unimportant when the music itself isn't enjoyable to listen...
Pros: Great Sound... and Justin Sane kicks major @$$ Cons: Tired style
Maybe the name of the band sets people off... I mean look at it, but Anti-Flag are different then what the name sets them to be, in short, they are not your ordinary punk band... they are better. They really revitalize the Street Punk style/image that...
Pros: Radical left-wing politics, melodic punk yeah! Cons: a little same-y, perhaps
Anti-Flag's sound may be nothing new, but those of us who were making mudpies when Crass were making records are ecstatic about the revival. Anti-Flag's most recent album _A New Kind of Army_ is anthemic, intelligent, passionate, and fiercely political....
Pros: Good Message, Good Music Cons: Nothing out of the ordinary
Before I purchased this album, I had heard of ANTI-Flag, but never really paid much attention to their music. I thought they were just a bunch of vicious, vulgar, hardcore punkers who made crappy music. That soon changed when I downloaded one of their...
Pros: Solid Songs, Good Attempts at Political activism Cons: Lead Singer is annoying, leans towards pop-punk
You know, when I first got this CD I was really into it for a couple of weeks. The songs are undeniably catchy, some of them for their intensity, which is what really drags me into a band. "A New Kind of Army" and "Tearing Everyone Down" being the...
Pros: Great Political PUnk Cons: one too many quirky songs for me.
A highly anticipated release of 1999 for me was Anti-Flags "A New Kind of Army". No doubt, I was at the store for weeks prior to its release just checking to see if it was out yet. Finally on day it was there.
Pros: great band,great lyrics,great music Cons: none!
I had never heard anything by Anti-Flag before seeing them this past July at Warped Tour '00. I loved them instantly, the crowd was so into them as well and Justin Sane seemed like such an awesome guy. He was telling the crowd that he believes in...
Pros: Great punk sound, pretty good revolutionary lyrics. Cons: Major hypocrites, not very smart for radicals
I bought this album after seeing Anti-Flag open for Less Than Jake. I was blown away by their total commitment to the underground scene. Everyone was totally into it. A New Kind of Army is a really good album musically, and has a lot of merit...
Pros: some may like the fact that it's more accessible Cons: unauthentic sounding punk
Anti-Flag may be able to please younger audiences with this album , but for those of us who know a lot about punk will be left wondering why this band is causing heads to turn. This release is Anti-Flag's most commericially accessible to date, which is...
This is a sweet punk rock CD. Definitely one of the best. The only problem with this CD is the sound quality. It's good, but not that great. The reason why it doesn't sound that great is because they made this record in their own home studio.
...
Pros: The sound quality is loud and in your face just like punk itself. Cons: Nothing, Anti-Flag has shown up to play ball.
I knew Anti-Flag was an awesome band when they released Die For Your Government but A New Kind Of Army throws it around like a sack of potatoes. I love punk rock, especially the bands that make an influence on their crowd. Anti-Flag could not have...
Pros: Awesome hardcore w/o the usual screecher for a singer. All Songs good! Cons: Anti-Government content, cursing
On "A New Kind of Army" Anti-Flag pick up where they left off on "Die for the Government". While the quick great punk riffs, and frighteningly catchy anthems are still present, you can sense a certain growth in Anti-Flag's musical...
Pros: Startling intelligence and hard riffs. Cons: A short CD that leaves you wanting more
Anti-Flag, probably the largest underground punk band of their time have returned to show everyone what they are really made of with their third CD, A New Kind of Army. The music is reminiscent of Crass, The Clash, and a little Dead Kennedys. Justin...
Pros: Energetic, enthusiastic, committed Cons: a little too nostalgic (but just a little)
I really like this album, except... Well, it reminds of all the socio-political punk bands that I loved 15 years ago. Is that bad? Well, it's not all bad. I just wish this album reminded me of something new, not something old. Otherwise, it's a...
