Against Me!: New Wave (Review)

Spin Magazine's Album of the Year (2007)

(image from wikipedia.org)

Why not let my first review be one of my new favorite albums? Against Me!'s New Wave is full of the band's punk anguish, but with a crispier feeling. Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing. The passion and power in their lyrics is still there. Each song manages to come at you with a punk force that doesn't turn off the average listener, by keeping one foot on the base of rock. The heavy riffs of "American Abroad" might make you jump in the mosh pit, while the catchy drumming of "Stop!" might make you, dare I say, dance? This album is the best punk has had to offer in the past year or so, and I personally have listened to the whole album at least ten times. It's fresh, it's new, and your guaranteed to have never heard anything like it.

I give this album 4.5/5 rocks
