"This is truly 'punk' as I grew up to know it. Political, meaningful, sincere, considered and full of energy. Information on Judi Barry and lots of great lyrics to sing in the factory. This one is for all the wage slaves and people concerned with the hegemony of white, corporate politics. GET IT."

Easily Jeff Ott's best album

""Lucky" is the closest Jeff Ott has ever gotten to greatness (this is technically a Fifteen album, but Ott and Fifteen have about the same relationship as Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins do; Ott basically is Fifteen). This is easily his most consistent album, with several classics on here. "Family Values," "My Congressman," "Stolen Life," and "Land" are among the best songs he's ever written. "Man Against Man," "Mount Shrink Wrap," "War on Drugs," and "Payback is Beautiful" are also stand-outs. Recommended to anyone that loves the fusion of politics and music. I really hope Ott writes more albums in the future, in spite of his promises that he won't."
