This review is from: No Gods No Managers (Audio CD)

this is probably the best album i have heard since operation ivy's "energy" and minor threat's "complete discography". if you like operation ivy, but wish they were both harder and darker, then this is for you!!!! and if you dont like it there is something seriously wrong with you!!!!!!!

Kill yourself, stay in school, do drugs, kill cops... just some of the inspiring messages featured on No Gods/No Managers. However, there are two ways of looking at this album: it's either a brilliant satirical masterpiece or a serious danger to society. Either way, you gotta give these guys credit for being completely honest and damn funny too.

This album really has everything: ska riffs, thrash-punk riffs, great lyrics, screamed vocals, thought-provoking sound bites. I'll admit, the screaming can get a little grating at times ("Living the Laws"), but overall is used to great effect.

The highlights are "500 Channels," "Crack Rock Steady," "Five Finger Discount," "Suicide," and the creepy, mostly-instrumental "Praise to the Sinners."

Overall this is a great album I would recommend to fans of Op Ivy, Link 80, Against All Authority, and maybe early Suicide Machines.

I'm not a huge fan of punk or ska, in fact I only really like AFI and Boy Sets Fire besides Choking Victim. I usually find the whole genre soaked in an overabundance of mediocrity and unoriginality (just like what's becoming of nu metal) they mix several different genre's of music and like Mr. Bungle they mix perfectly. A little ska, punk, hardcore, reggea, death metal, and even lounge are the main ingredients included on No Gods/No Managers. The lyrics range from Athiesm, Politics, Satanism (very funnily done too I might add), and Stealing. Creating some of the funniest (Suicide, Crack Rock Steady, and 5 Finger Discount) songs I've ever heard and some best true punk anthems (War Story, F*** America, 500 Channels) I've ever heard.

While they were great, they have broken up and have formed a new band called Leftover Crack and have an album out now on Hellcat. Definatly pick that up too if you like Choking Victim.
