i just bought this today with some ice cream while looking for a job. the first song, god bless our dead marines, is AWESOME. but i don't know about the rest. it seemed to fall about early on much like the last album, this is our punk rock. however, efrim sounds a lot more confident here, though still off key. at least it's still better than yanqui.
2/5 so far. i'm listening to the older albums first before i listen to it a second time.

I think Yanqui is pretty good. ..Well at least the first song is.

listening again. the first three songs are beautiful/great, especially the second one. i'm on the fourth song right now and it's awful. more groundbreaking news as the album progresses.

except for the ending, the third song is altogether annoying. the fourth song, hang on to each other, is the most reminiscent of the last album and will annoy everyone within earshot. it's a grating campfire sing-along with a swear word in. i like it but it's not much of a song.

*the third song is the annoying one. the fourth song is hang on to each other. sorry for the mix up.
the last song, ring them bells (freedom has come and gone), ROCKS THE CASBAH. this is what a godspeed song with vocals sounds like. this is what yanqui should've sounded like. no fan could be disappointed by it. damn.
okay, basically, if you're going to download it, skip tracks 4 and 5. and you will have one of the best albums out of the collective. it really sucks that they felt the need to put those two in, but there you go.
my score shall change to 3/5. recommended purchase for fans.

It's okay/shit. I thought the first track was okay at some point. And I totally agree about that third thing, it's awful and bad.
Anyway, I wouldn't mind if they gave up all the grandiosity and stuff. The first album was great, boohoohoo

i honestly don't like the first album all too much. thought the entire thing was a bore.
my favourite is born into trouble as the sparks fly upward, and this new one would have to be my second favourite, sans two needless songs.
