Product Description

CD Description
Over the course of numerous uniformly excellent albums, Anti-Flag has established itself as one the most musically accomplished, intelligent, and passionate politically inclined punk bands on the hardcore scene. Unlike similar groups, whose knuckle-headed propagandising rarely gets beyond well-meaning but simplistic sloganeering designed more to incite unrest than to solve problems, the Pittsburgh-based foursome carefully considers its viewpoints before committing them to wax (to the extent that each song is accompanied by an explanation complete with bibliographical references).
Musically, Anti-Flag takes cues not only from old-school masters likethe Exploited and the Descendents, but explores advanced harmonic and rhythmic territory that recalls everyone from thesimilarly minded Rage Against the Machine to legendary Canadian prog-rockers Rush. Of special mention are Chris #2's snappy basslines, which often drive the songs in Bruce Foxton (of the Jam)-like fashion. With super-clean production that rivals the output of any major label wannabes, THE TERROR STATE ups the ante for socially conscious punk by infusing theoft-tiresome genre with welcome doses of spirit, chops, andmusical inventiveness.

4.0 out of 5 stars www.stateofemergency.net, 13 Feb 2004
What is the order of the day? That is easy, it is; wonderful & controversial artwork, liner notes and lyrics from a band who are ready to hit home with the most political album of 2003. The song titles range from the clever; ’Operation Iraqi Liberation (O.I.L.), to the cringingly clichéd; ‘You Can Kill the Protesters, But You Can’t Kill the Protest’. This says a lot about the music you find on this record. While it is catchy and accusing, some of the lyrics are a little too tired. A little like Papa Roach – ‘Angels & Insects’ with its heavy borrowing from the film/book ‘Fight Club’. Album opener; ‘Turncoat’ is not one of these songs however and bristles with allegation as it powers along its strong bassline. The same goes for ‘Rank-N-File’ with its militaristic styling; ‘I’m standing with the rank and file, I’m marching with the underground’. It does however dabble a little too much in the whole brothers in arms ethic, leaving it sounding a little too cutesy for its own good.

Anti-Flag must be commended for going down this route in such a politically volatile time with the Bush administration in full swing, (despite the obvious wound licking as the very public criticisms flood in from all nations alike). One of the bravest songs for an American band to release at this time was the cover of Woody Guthrie’s ‘Post-War Breakdown’ with it’s lyrics not only challenging those in power but anyone who believes in the ‘American Dream’, a subject many Americans still have much faith imbedded in.

This is a surprisingly catchy album, with plenty of pulsing little guitar licks and chanted vocals. If you hadn’t really heard of Anti-Flag before you could be forgiven for presuming they were a hardcore band. This is not the case as they mix the political structures and writing of first wave punk rock with the catchy new wave of TV friendly bands of the last 5 years. This allows them to create a sugar coated arsenic pill of music that goes down deceptively easily. With lyrics like; ‘The people united, will never be defeated’ from ‘One People One Struggle’ they are literally playing to a brick wall. This is because although what they say is very true and people are yet to realize it. In this cynical age anything so obviously dripping of camaraderie is frowned upon or simply laughed off.

On ‘Mind The G.A.T.T.’ they successfully use samples of speeches by authority figures, giving that feeling of a war being broadcast straight from your stereo. In fact if they had been able to get hold of some 2-way radio broadcasts of soldiers communicating in battle or field reports that would have been a very pleasing and atmospheric addition. People often need a problem thrust in their face to notice the true gravity of it. A recent Panorama documentary regarding friendly fire on journalists and allies followed such a path and in my mind was very successful. ‘The Terror State’; although full of weighty concerns, appeals strongly to that youthful sense of rebellion we all share. That said; even when that fails there are plenty of catchy hooks here to capture your heart again and again.

Standout Tracks: ‘Turncoat’, ‘Post War Breakout’, ‘Mind The G.A.T.T.’ & ‘Operation Iraqi Liberation (O.I.L.)’.

4.0 out of 5 stars Album 6 from Bush -baiting melodic- punks, 8 Nov 2003
Not only do Anti Flag call George Bush a 'Turncoat! Killer! Liar! Thief!" on the opener of this 13 tracker, they go on to explain exactly why there justified on their inlay. And it just gets better from there- whether they are singing about the wrong-doings of the world trade organisations, civillian casualties during the 'Operation Iraqi Liberation' or just the unjust killings of protestres around the world, they provide information and statistics alongside the lyrics in an informant and succint manner.
For young punk rockers out there still trying to figure out why exactly they should be pissed off, this is indispensable. and while musically it is straight ahead, catchy anthemic and melodic punk with a hardcore edge, in a genre that is inceasingly dominated by nothing but girls, heartbreak and fart jokes, The Terror State by Anti Flag is totally refreshing.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!!!!, 6 Nov 2003
Well for starters my reply to this album is WOW!! jesus man it sends shivers down my spine , as always anti-flag have come back up with amazing lyrics that can really make you feel connected with them , this whole album just gives out a whole aura of peace and an attitude of never giving up fighting and smashs through the lies of the world delivering us the truth . The really good thing about this album and all of anti-flags more modern work is, that as always anti-flag have stood by their messages and beliefs which i have always fully believed but now lyrically they are comin up with very intelligent things which no one can truthely say is wrong and that sure kicks ass!!!! anyway there is sooooooooo much more i could say bout this disc of inspiration , but u have to buy it and appreciate , connect with it ur self!! ANTI-FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway... peace,brother/sisterhood and untiy , jonny
