"Phat"? Whatever.

OK, here's the deal: this album is most certainly NOT by, for or about Propagandhi. Rather, it is a compilation fundraiser for the anarchist publishing company AK Press. Hence, Propagandhi are just one of the many, many fine folks appearing on this honey of an album. In fact, you'll get so many anarchists, anti-authoritarians and just plain weird artist/bands on this little beauty, all for the price of one album, it'll make your head explode. And make no mistake, it is a sweet album. Good, and for a good cause.

AK Press rocks, and so does this album. It covers every thing from anti-folk to hardcore punk to dance beats. All the songs are easy to listen to, but if you think about the lyrics you can get an even better message. The only flaw I can think of is that there is almost too much variety, but the transitions are well done. If you don't buy this album to help out the AK Press, buy it for the great sound.

This CD was good, but I expected better from Propagandhi. This was one of their early CD's, before they lost their hard-core edge and they sound good...I just wanted more fast-paced songs and less songs where they mess around. Overall, it pretty phat, but not all that.
