Whoa whoa whoa, Tate--you're writing the review? Does that mean it's a good album?

I used to be obssessed with these guys, I'm liking the new song.

[MindspiN]

[FrankMareno]

sweet i can't wait to listen to this album i hope alot of new people that know nothing about punk rock listen to what they have to say since there on a major label now lol which ones going to be the single that everyone will hear on the radio?

[LPMagic]

Whoa whoa whoa, Tate--you're writing the review? Does that mean it's a good album?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all the reviews on this site have to be for "good" albums according to the writer?

[btbam > you]

i cant wait for this cd. i love these guys.

[moore182]

They should have used that artwork they have of the White House and the crosses. That was cooler looking. Does anyone know what that is for?

I think that IS the real album cover. The one in the AP gallery is probably the promo cover.

[heyRomanticA__x]

about face.

[TyroneShoolaces]

i was listening to Terror State today.
i'm excited for this album.

Ok...groovy!

[xllirikx]

i like the cover

Nope. That's the real album cover from www.afassets.com/antiflag (http://www.afassets.com/antiflag)

You know nothing. Seriously.

[Mitch]

You know nothing. Seriously.

Tate just answer this question, please! Is this album any good?

I'm looking forward for this and the new HTL.

[sweetfootaction]

I'm not trying to start anything, but how can anyone take Anti-Flag serious anymore? They have contradicted everything they stood for and all the lyrics they've ever written.

[Crimson_Curse]

Nope. That's the real album cover from www.afassets.com/antiflag (http://www.afassets.com/antiflag)


I was told the packaging was just like "terror state" and the cover you have on the gallery is the one you will see when you pick it up at walmart, but the actual CD booklet cover is the white house graphic.

[Mitch]

Well, as long as they continue to play music I enjoy, I don't really care about their "image" and what they may have "stood for". Music's music.

[ghostyouare]

sell-outs.

[Jason Tate]

sell-outs.
God I hate people that use that word.

[pasthefence49]

I dont know why we need a band that points out the most obvious and that will be out of buisness in 3 years

[ghostyouare]

God I hate people that use that word.
Ya but it's completely fitting with Anti-flag being on a major label.

Anyways they suck, only they would write a song about being too punk for their grandma.

[thisdecemberhop]

anti flag owns you.

[LPMagic]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all the reviews on this site have to be for "good" albums according to the writer?
You know nothing. Seriously.
And you obviously can't read. I said "Correct me if I'm wrong", it was the first part of the sentence.

But instead of correcting me, you stoop down to insulting me. Bravo, Tate.

[Darren McLeod]

What a terrible looking album cover.

[HoboAdam]

reminds me of master of puppets

well the real one

[The Revisionist]

I'm not exactly sure if this is going to be a surprise to anybody, but the new song on their website is awful.

[whyte39]

I'm not exactly sure if this is going to be a surprise to anybody, but the new song on their website is awful.
that is your opinion.

[The Revisionist]

that is your opinion.Um... no shit?

[whyte39]

Um... no shit?
no, it was

[The Revisionist]

no, it wasI know that, I am in full agreeance with you. I am trying to figure out if you thought I was stating my opinion as %100 fact and therefore you were "correcting" me, or if you just like to point out blatantly obvious statements.

[whyte39]

sorry, i wasnt sure if your opinion was supposed to be 100% fact, and i tend to point out obvious statements as well for whatever reason. but im glad that we have straightened this out.

[kg00d]

Nice, looking forward to this.

[Jason Tate]

I'm not exactly sure if this is going to be a surprise to anybody, but the new song on their website is awful.
I don't know what song's on their website, but the album itself - I like. Of course, I'm the same person who thinks Siren Song for a Counter Culture is Rise Against's best album too. So, take this for what you will.

[operator]

the new anti-flag song is a return to somewhat of what they sounded like before "the Terror State"
getting on a major label doesn't make you any less punk rock, it just means you'll make more money and get your ideas out there.
So its the best of both worlds for Anti-Flag

[untitled94]

isnt this against anti-flag's morals as a band? to make a major label debut just confuses me..especially at this point in the bands career...$$

when a band like avenged sevenfold or good charlotte "sold out"; everyone hated them..yet this band has really yet to get as much bad feedback as expected

[Burnout2888]

I don't know what song's on their website, but the album itself - I like. Of course, I'm the same person who thinks Siren Song for a Counter Culture is Rise Against's best album too. So, take this for what you will.
I agree on Siren Song being their best. It's the most diverse and the songs just seem to have a bit more definition... but don't get me wrong, because The Unraveling and Revolutions Per Minute were both awesome.

[MonkeyBars]

I dont know why we need a band that points out the most obvious and that will be out of buisness in 3 years
Can't say I've ever thought of a band as a "business". I guess that would explain why this guy thinks they're sell outs:

Ya but it's completely fitting with Anti-flag being on a major label.

Anyways they suck, only they would write a song about being too punk for their grandma.
It's fitting that they're on a label that will give them better distribution so they can get their music out to more people and find more fans? Isn't that what music is all about: getting people to hear it?

[The Revisionist]

I don't know what song's on their website, but the album itself - I like. Of course, I'm the same person who thinks Siren Song for a Counter Culture is Rise Against's best album too. So, take this for what you will.I do too actually, hahaha. I have never liked Anti-Flag though, I honestly believe they have no real idea what they're talking about, I dislike the singer's voice, blah blah blah this band suck lolz rofl.

[xRevengeISeekx]

pretty good shit.
