"You can murder the rebel, but you can't murder the rebellion"
Discovery: See first AF entry.
Result: This is Anti-Flag's last independent release, before they made the much-criticized decision to jump to a major. I'm the last person to call someone a sellout, I do, however, feel like you can't really be against flags but for major labels. Especially in this day and age, majors are not really needed, and I don't buy the "our message to more people" argument. It doesn't appear that Anti-Flag has gained any more popularity in recent major-label years over their indie ones. But, I digress. This album is their best in my opinion, as it transcends the usual punk rock chord party, while still addressing the heavy issues of current times.
Stand-out Tracks: "Turncoat", "Sold As Freedom", "You Can Kill the Protester, But You Can't Kill the Protest"
