When I was in Ramparock, this record was in a distro and when I asked �what kind of stuff is this?� the guy who was selling the record said �that�s Oi! music.� Because this cost only three euros, I decided to buy it.
So what did I get? The lyrics are really political and very left wing. Or at least that�s the picture I got. But that�s ok to me because I�m far more left wing than right wing. I don�t know if these guys are punks or skins and I don�t think that even matters. But it�s cool to read in the booklet that �This album is dedicated to: Ant Fascist Action, Animal Liberation Front, Hunt Saboteurs, Antifa etc.� because many Oi! bands don�t do that kind of stuff (except Oi Polloi, but they�re not so Oi! anymore) Lyrically I like them very much. All of the stuff they sing about are things that I can agree with.
Musically� well, if I heard only four songs from this CD, I would love them. It�s good old Oi! stuff, but 16 songs is too much. It�s almost like repeating three songs over and over again. More variety would make this record lot of better. It�s kind of odd that that bothers me because usually I don�t mind if songs are similar. Maybe this record crossed the line, I don�t know.
So is this record worth buying? That�s the thing you want to know, right? Well, like I said to me this cost only 3 euros so to me this wasn�t a bad deal. But if you�re going to buy this from a record store, I recommend that you listen to more than only a couple of songs. And if you think you might like political Oi! stuff, check this out.
