    anti-flag is good if you can put up with their repetitiveness
    they keep singing about the same stuff, and it gets tiring and very boring, government this government that, bla bla bla etc
    they are ok, not in my punk vocabulary

    Music:

    Best anti-flag album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 18, 2006

    Pros: Great lyrics, great meaning, great music.

    Cons: I didn't like one song on here, but other than that it's excellent.

    This is by far anti-flag's best album. It has the most meaning of any of their albums and is enjoyable for all punk rock lovers.

Pro Reviews: Die for the Government

  • All Music Guide

    Admittedly, it's strange that an old school-sounding punk trio would criticize punk scene denizens thusly: "Covered in leather, or plaid patches, or metal studs/Your hair is dyed or spiked with glue/You only talk to those who look and act the way you do/You scoff at how the cops treat you/But they're no worse than dicks like you" ("Punk by the Book"). It's even more strange in light of Anti-Flag's Discharge/Rancid haircuts, a dog collar, and even a shirt that says "destroy." But since they point out that what you think is more important than how you dress, fair enough, because they carry on a more crucial custom: warning MTV-polluted, 85-TV-channel youth that punk means doing something productive instead of being passive or getting drunk and into fights, and becoming aware of politics and history is a prerequisite before bitching about the government (such as the Pentagon's attempts to pretend there is no Gulf War syndrome, as Anti-Flag points out). Criticism from within is the only ki...nd that's listened to. As well, on songs such as "Safe Tonight" and "Police State in the U.S.A.," Anti-Flag tosses up the kind of vintage, early-'80s, So-Cal, melodic punk that B.Y.O., Frontier, Posh Boy, and other labels specialized in, and a ska song is welcome. - Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Anti-Flag

Making their debut at a local Pittsburgh radio station in 1993, Anti-Flag got together for the sake of responding to their disgust of religion, nationalism and fascism. Justin Sane (vocals/guitar), Andy Flag (bass/vocals) and Pat Thetic (drums) bopped around their hometown much to the dismay of skinheads while recruiting a following who proudly wore torn-up upside-down ... Read more
