Punk rock with a high IQ

"This is exceptional punk rock if there is such a thing. It is music with a message and the music is the medium for expression. Obviously the reviewers below didn't realize this. The first song, the anthemic "No Revolution" is the epitomy of the entire album; it recognizes the fact that "punk" came out twenty years ago and there is nothing new, that all "punks" look to the late '70s as the answer and the manual and the standard. So in a sense this album is anti-punk, but it's still "punk," get it? And it just plain rocks with a primitive, style-less style that is rarely achieved in this genre. Remember, there is no such thing as punk."

"in the old days, i was a punk rocker, listening to "the que*rs" and "fugazi" and dancing around in fast and furious circles ... when i listen to flash flash flash, i am instantly transported back ten years ... ok, ok ... i wouldn't have given this cd a listen if i didn't consider these boys to be friends, but i do ... and i did. i'm glad that this cd made it's way into my collection ... these are smart guys, good musicians - the lyrics are brainy while the music churns and turns. these boys are students of the punk revolution of the 70s (you know, before they were born) - music and art, and it shows in this cd. these are talented fellows. these are great guys - with amazing stage presence and sense of fun. and that's what it's all about, no? if you are a fan of music at all, buy this cd ..."
