This record is the best album I have heard in more than 3+ years (since the The Living End's, Roll On). Almost every song makes you feel good about music and what music is supposed to be; uplifting, inspirational and it makes you want to drive fast. The song writing is excellent and the dynamics are fascinating. The production quality is very interesting; it is muddy and sounds squashed keeping true to the band's roots but considering Butch Vig's (Smashing Pumpkins: Gish, Siamese Dream) prowess for clean drum sounds, punchy bass and crescendo guitar riffs, it reminds me of the difference between Robert "Mutt" Lang's production differences between AC/DC's Highway to Hell and Def Leppard's High and Dry. This is certainly a great rock and roll record. If you don't like this record you truly don't understand what punk, rock or metal is all about.
