How is that wrong? This is a thread about? You guessed it, Against Me! Not about picking apart my posts. Again, how about trying to contribute something to the thread? Are you capable of that task? Again what do your posts have to do anything with the band? I'm sure youre not smart enough for a real response. But shame on you for post picking, back to talking about music,
I'm not the type to pick apart other peoples posts without contributing to the thread.

In an attempt to jumpstart this conversation and to do away with any cattiness, I'm going to posit, though it's probably been stated on numerous ocassions in this thread, that "New Wave" is not on par with "As the Eternal Cowboy", my absolute favorite Against Me! album, but that it's not the worst thing they could've aimed for. In fact, "Thrash Unreal", when compared to some of the other soulless junk on the top 40 stations, was a damn good single.

I feel bad for the people who apparently don't listen to any bands on major labels. While I don't really love "..Cowboy", I think Reinventing Axl Rose was absolutely flawless. That being said, I also think New Wave is nearly perfect also. Sucks for people who want bands with amazing talent to stay in basement shows, but I imagine it sucks even more for the bands who lose fans because they gravitate as artists to know that people are so hatefully bitter that they deny them artistic integrity.

^^^ Both great comments. I don't feel as they lost a bit of integrity, they message is basically the same. I get that I'm in the minority as I'm not a huge fan of Reinventing...., but I love ...Eternal Cowboy and ....Former Clarity just as much as New Wave, all for very different reasons.

Reinventing is definitely one of my favorites. I just think that "Cowboy" was a turning point for the group. For me, the album is really a document of an immensely talented group who had the rare opportunity to put together a well-produced album on a major label without compromising much.
But I agree with one of the previous comments, that it's really sad that some of their earlier work has gone largely without due credit or praise.

honestly not a fan of theirs at all but the record had great production. and they kill it live.

Yeah they do. I saw them with Social Distortion a few years ago, and they were on it.

LOl @ this thread's first page of posts.


Have not heard of the group, if someone could link a video from that album this thread is about, would be awesome.

i always thought these guys were worth listening too, so are they any good?

UMMMM Very Very good!!!

And I apologise for the 1st page of comments people like that piss me off big time
