Lies They Tell Our Children feels like the band making a fresh stamp on the current political turmoil, renewing their worldview and doing so with a sound they have been incrementally heading towards.

Lies They Tell Our Children is a truly great and timely album from a band who continue to fearlessly, articulately and aggressively address the issues of the here and now.

ANTI-FLAG have long been masters of the communal sing-along, and nearly every track has a giant chorus, but even the album's most overtly commercial moments retain that all-important, gritty punk edge.

Anti-Flag’s commentary may not be what it used to be, but the band’s still fairly competent when it comes to their subject matter.

If you look on the cover you already listened to this album.
LIES THEY TELL OUR CHILDREN is a predictable pop-punk album with corny lines, weird instrumentation, and just a disappointing sound that was okay with the first 3 songs and evolved into something extremely cringy and unlikeable.

This album has its heart in its right place in all honesty... but thats one of the only things that seems to work. At least rhe last album has the Disease and Un-American
Distasteful pop-punk at best, shitty pop-rock at worst. Fittingly shite album for the shite person Justin turned out to be. Victory or Death sounds like a fucking sea shanty. ðŸ˜
Sad waste of a fair amount of great featured artists.
