Free Music Review: Just risky enough to be a great CD
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a huge Casualties fan, and have been since I first heard of them. I own factory or burnt copies of all their CDs and love them all, but I'm not gonna lie, if they put out another song like "Die Hards" about how "They're the punx" I would probably shoot myself.
Finally they took all that raw energy and put it to use.
Don't get me wrong, the old music is probably better, "For the Punx" will always be a classic, but as an open minded person I will gladly say that I did not want another "For the Punx." I wanted this band to evolve into something that could be fun and also meaningful. It took long enough but they finally did it.
Musically this is the same Casualties we know and love. Perfect unity of a single six string and a bass that both shine incredibly. Fast paced drums and screaming vocals. Actually, Jorge does actually tone it down a little bit on this CD, and in songs like "VIP" and "Down and Out" I'm not really sure whether I would call the vocals screaming or singing. I'm pretty sure Jorge can't sing so I'm gonna call it mild screaming. It doesn't sound too bad though. The music does slow down a little on some of the tracks, but not many, and most of the beats are still the super energy filled anthems that you wanna create the biggest effing circle pit ever to. Songs like "System Failed Us Again" and "No Solution No Control" have speed and noise that rivals their old works. Put good lyrics into this and I will be bold enough to say that I would rather listen to "Fallen Heroes" than "Punx & Skins"
Lyrically is where this album shines. Gone are the days of "Drinking is a way of liiiiiiiife man" because, let's face it, it's not. This CD sees the Casualties continuing to attack the political angle with songs like "Under Attack" and "Without Warning" which is like a CNN news report with music in the background. Along with war, we also have domestic issues addressed, and then even better are the songs that deal with social issues among young people ("VIP" "Social Outcast" and "Fallen Heroes")
This is an awesome album from start to finish. This is one band that can keep their sound while they mature and know exactly how and how not to try new things. I can't really say which tracks are the best because, c'mon people, it's the Casualties, so it's all amazing. Contrary to what I usually say I would say that new fans should start here buy this one first, then "For the Punx," and then depending on which one you like better, choose your direction.
Under Attack Poster
NY's punk veterans return with a brash, brutal new album; thirteen tracks of blistering punk rock, produced by Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Rise Against, Suicide Machines). Their previous release, "On The Front Line" has scanned over 62K. Look for them on this summer's Warped Tour and headlining the Punx Unite tour in the fall.Alternative Rock Music CDs
