✦✦✦✧ This is a weird cross of “Psalm 69,” Suicidal, S.O.D., and a bunch of pre-mainstream releases from bands I haven’t taken seriously in at least 20 years. And that retro-hardcode vibe is somehow perfect for the band, and for the times we find ourselves in now. Adorbs.

★★☆☆ Given that this is from the guys who brought you Municipal Waste and Darkest Hour, this album is surprisingly (and unapologetically) punk. And for the most part, it really works. This album may not sound like it at first blush, but it’s got more in common with S.O.D. than with Rancid (or with Darkest Hour, for that matter).
