    This is a collection of tracks that see the potent, unafraid icon that is Carter return to the forefront of British punk and he’s using it as an opportunity to really say something.

Perfect combination of top notch musicianship, massive guitar hooks, not-overly polished song craftsmanship combined with Frank Carters abrasive yet somehow soothingly melodic vocal chops.

I think I might like this the best. An oh, did I mention I love this band and album?… Full Review »
