Sounds like when a corporation tries to co-opt antifascist rhetoric for brownie points.

I'm not sure if they just don't know how to write a song (which is surprising to find THIS late in their career) or if they don't understand shit about political subjects. Both are not a good sign. Not only is the content of the music incomprehensibly written, but the sound of this album hurts my ears. This is easily one of the worst mixed, mastered, and produced albums I've ever heard. Which is crazy to say, because they used to be at least passable at worst at all these things. I don't know what they were smoking to make this album sound this dogshit.

The only positive thing I have to say about this is that it is mildly entertaining, even if most of the time, I'm just laughing at how stupid some of the lines are. It also has some good ideas here and there, just poor execution on every front, every single time. BUT, if I were to mention one actually good thing about this, without any drawbacks... I would mention that the last song, "This Will Be Our Year" is not horrible. It's the most listenable thing in this whole album actually. Of course, it is a cover, so I had to check out the original. Since the original is kinda mid as fuck, this is immediately better because of the more interesting production.

Other than those few positive things, this is absolute dogshit. Don't bother.
