Morning Glory is pretty good, but they get really repetitive. The songs that stand out are awesome though (Gang Control, Revolution Rock, Gimme Heroin, Tolerate, etc.)
I don't find it a shame that the Crack Rocksteady are anti-Christian. Christian bands are anti-nonChristians and not many people bitch about that. Preaching against the teachings of Christianity is no worse than preaching the teachings of Christianity. They have an equal right to hold their own views and express them in their music.
I'm not anti-Christian (only the fundamentalist ones), but living in the stronghold of the religious right I can see the evil that Chrisianity, and organized religion in general, is capable of, and therefore I can relate to the Crack Rocksteady's position. If you were persecuted by a group of people you would certainly take comfort in music that defies those ideologies. Thats pretty much the basis of punk rock.
