This album is a fucking must-have for any Chicago punk enthusiast. Coming from a band that everyone thought would be the new biggest thing, Brendan Kelly, Chris McCaughan, Dan Hanaway, and Rob DePaola came together and presented nothing any Slapstick fan could imagine. Intense, beautiful, introspective, and socially aware, this album is the epitome of modern punk rock. It's harsh and melodic. Quiet and loud. There are songs that range from friendship to capitalism, from drinking to the persecution to the American Indian and back. I really just love this album. There's nothing much to it besides that.
Oh shit, I forgot to post the link.
