Editorial Reviews

NY's punk veterans return with a brash, brutal new album; thirteen tracks of blistering punk rock, produced by Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Rise Against, Suicide Machines). Their previous release, "On The Front Line" has scanned over 62K. Look for them on this summer's Warped Tour and headlining the Punx Unite tour in the fall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes! No more 'OMG DRUNK PUNX' crap!, October 20, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Under Attack (Audio CD)

Their songs finally have a point.
They are finally listenable.
I was fearing that they would go back to their old crappy street punk style with this album instead of continuing with the fairly good political hardcore punk style they started working with when they released 'On The Front Line', and I'm glad they're still going in OTFL's direction! Good album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new Casualties sound with a few minor changes, September 27, 2006

This review is from: Under Attack (Audio CD)

Under Attack sounds very similiar to On the Front Line, and there really aren't that many differences between the two to be honest. Both have excellent production, a more hardcore oriented approach to punk rock, and better musicianship than their older releases. The music and song structures are a little bit more creative than OTFL, with a lot of songs having slightly different song structures and the guitar work being more interesting. The guitar solos have improved as well. They even threw in an instrumental track! These are slight differences however, and essentially this is OTFL the sequel.

One element they carried over from the last release that they took a bit further was the political nature of their lyrics. Just about every song on here has some political connotation to it, including a song about Communist organizer and folk singer Woodie Guthrie. There are plently of generic rebellious lyrics about politicians being evil, "the system" being evil, and immigrants having a hard time in America. Their last release had a lot of these lyrics as well, but not to the same extent. OTFL's lyrics were also better in my opinion but you can't really understand Jorge most of the time anyway, and the shouted choruses that you can are usually pretty catchy. Older Casualties' songs have plently of lyrics about society and the system being evil or oppressive, but with these new songs they often try to get more speicific and blatently political. Gone are the days when they would sing songs about political punks being preachy and over the top. These are still enjoyable songs however.

Most of the songs sound very similiar but a few stand outs are No Solution-No Control, Under Attack, and Without Warning.
