"Apparently, a concern for others is self-love at its least attractive, while greed is now a sign of the highest altruism. But then to reverse, periodically, the meanings of words is a very small price to pay for our vast freedom not only to conform but to consume."
Gore Vidal
I think this is a good solid album (with the exception of "White People for Peace" which is so canned I can't even listen to it all the way through) and I've enjoyed it thoroughly, but I'll say this: With the exception of "Don't Lose Touch", which is maybe my favorite music video ever, Against Me!'s music videos are just embarrasingly bad. They make me uncomfortable to watch, and not because they're challenging me. Maybe they have obligations to make them what with all the label hopping.
I don't disagree. This one could have been great, considering the song content. This is the only song with that Against me! swagger that rocks so well.
