GREAT!, February 11, 2006
A Kid's Review
This is ten times better than 'Here We Are', which was a bit weak. Maybe that was cuz Mark Unseen had left. Oh, well. This record proves that they really don't need him to sound good. Yeah, this is different. It sounds more like an old school punk record, but that's what I love so much about it. It reminds me of Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, Subhumans...stuff like that. I love it!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
(PS: I'm older than thirteen.)

Here's what happened to A Global Threat..., June 23, 2006
todolosdolores; they got better. I remember being a 14-year-old brat sneaking into the Starwood to hear X. This was right after they released "Los Angeles." After the show, SO many people were talking about how X had sold out, had been watered-down, etc. For a comparison, also see the Dylan documetary Scorcese did. Same thing; as soon as he did something even slightly different/new/innovative, he got torn apart by "traditionalists." Henry Rollins said it best when he commented that punk fans are the most inflexible people on earth. AGT remains the best of its genre. New doesn't equal bad or watered down my friend. God bless 'em. If punk doesn't evolve, it dies. And that, in the words of my dead friend Darby Crash, would "blaaahbfhjty."

Pretty damn good., March 7, 2006
Well, I'm not a punk, but punk rock happens to be a music genre that I really seem to enjoy listening to. So, one of my friends suggested this band to me. I bought this album, and fell in love with it immediately. Like the reviewer below said, this is a little bit like an old-school punk record, only a little faster. The songs on here are powerful, speedy, and loud. Basically, punk rock through and through. Yeah, there are a couple slower songs on here, like 'Cut-Ups', but they do the slower songs very well and they don't sound boring or anything, so that's fine. I think my favorite song on here would be 'Some Nerve'. It's just awesome. The song that I really don't like on here is 'Scalped By Pop', because it's your stereotypical 'punk-is-being-killed-by-pop-rock-bands' type of song and I've just heard it millions of times before. There were punk songs like that in the mid 90's, for cryin' out loud. Oh well. Atleast they don't overdo the 'We're punks' thing, like The Casualties, who I hate with every fiber of my being. So yeah. If you are a punk, or if you're like me and you just like the punk rock genre, this is a pretty cool album and I would suggest picking it up. I'm definately gonna get all their other albums. This band is so awesome!
