5.0 out of 5 stars Land of the free, May 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Land of the Free? (Audio CD)

Land of the free is more powerful than From the ashes(not that FTA don't rock, it rocks trust me!) for some reasons, it has a type a punch on this one that isn't on other PW albums, which make the mood of the album really louder and powerful!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is pennywise?, December 2, 2001

That's the question I hear alot from people when they give their first listen. Yes it is Pennywise, and their return this year with "Land of the free?" is being hailed by some and criticized by others. Personally, I think this was a great return from Pennywise after being absent for some time, and their new anti-political attitude is actually quite enjoyable. Now don't get me wrong, this is the same group you learned to love on "About time", with intense guitar work, fast drumming and great lyrics. The real difference between this release and their earlier works rests in the lyrics, which are aimed at the United States Government, and the recent violet WTO riots. Everything seems to come together quite nicly as one fast paced, over the edge punk rock formula. Defintely worth it for Pennywise fans, and a great experience for newcomers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gettin' old but not bad, June 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Land of the Free? (Audio CD)

I was incredibly excited to get this new Pennywise album. I had downloaded two songs from Pennywisdom.com "The World" and "Time Marches On" and boy howdee was I pumped for June 19th! Unfortunately, I was not as happy with the new album as I had hoped to be. Some of the songs seem a bit old and the lyrics of couple songs like "My God," while strong in message, lacked some of the more inspiration found on earlier albums. BUT that is not to say that the album should not be bought because some of the tracks, "The World", "F**k Authority," and "Time Marches On" being the strongest, are every bit as intense, powerful, and insightful as anything they've done. As soon as the crowd is cut off by Fletcher's guitar on "Time Marches On," I felt the pulse-pounding, guitar riffs, coursing through my veins, sending my head into convulsions as my teeth began to rumble and crack from the sheer force of the sound assaulting me from my stereo. There is filler on this album, but there are enough standout tracks also present to make this album a must buy for any Pennywise album. As was made evident on the previous album, "Straight Ahead," Pennywise is starting to mature. Good bands do. Though I wouldn't reccomend this album to anybody just beginning to discover the musical force that is Pennywise (It doesn't have the fluidity and consistency of past releases like"About Time" and "Full Circle") I definitely would reccomend it to the true believers. "Land of the Free" isn't their greatest album, but was most assuredly not discouraging and if Pennywise continue on as they did on "Land of the Free" I will look forward to the next album (And their current Warped Tour dates!) and every release after that.
