5.0 out of 5 stars Different but Good, February 6, 2001

Propagandhi is simply unable to write a bad song. I swear to it. I'm not gonna lie to you, this album is a lot different than their others. The music is a lot more hardcore, but that doesn't mean it's not good. This CD is still very awesome. I think some of the change in style might be to the departure of their old bassist, who did some singing on their old CDs. Their new bassist, Todd fits right in though. He even sings on some of these songs too. On most of the really hardcore ones. This is a must have. I've been waiting for this CD for a long time, just as everyone else has, and believe me, it won't dissapoint you. Go gey it, today

5.0 out of 5 stars A huge departure, March 19, 2004

Oddly enough I just happened across this album in the store 2 days after it came out, not being aware that the gods of rock had called upon Propagandhi to blow my mind again. I popped it in and grimaced for the first 30 seconds.... then my head promptly exploded.

What you get here is unique. It's kind of a hardcore album... but it's not like anything I've ever heard, it's alot better. The guitar work is scary, I did not know Chris' hands could do that. Back to the Motor League and Purina Hall of Fame sport some rather impressive solos at the end. And Jord has fills to pay the bills.

The ECD feature on the disk is nice, for fans of the band. It has a few short movies about various political topics, including COINTELPRO.

They've honed thier political message perfection, and in the process practically invented a new genre of music.

The best album I have bought since the Supreme Court decided that American votes don't matter, thats for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars nothing better..., December 7, 2003

there is simply no other band out there today that can rock like these guys......no joke, each of their albums has a distinct flavour to it, and i don't think i'm alone in saying this one tastes the best.....the addition of the new bassist (I Spy guitarist/vocalist Todd the Rodd) has helped usher in a new era for these guys and the world is better because of it...anyone who has listened to this cd knows what i';m talking about....for those of you who haven't yet heard it, what the helll are you waiting for? go to g7welcomingcommittee.com and buy this cd/lp...you will be forever changed....in any case, don't buy it here (amazon.com) support the independent co-ops, not these primitive screwheads....
