Anti-Flag - Lies They Tell Our Children (January 6, 2023) Album • Page 6

I think this may have been reuploaded on Apple Music? Sounds a lot “louder” now. Anyone else notice?

Album reaaaally rips now

 

Sounds the same to me

 

I never in my life thought this would be a collab but here we are. Also, I am definitely noticing how low the volume is more than ever.

 

MMM is probably the only collab that falls a bit flat for me, purely because I would not be able to tell that is Jesse without knowing in advance. Which sucks cause he has a great and really distinct voice!

 

Yeah, they didn’t do a good job of letting him shine.

 

Has anyone got a vinyl and seen if it’s this low too? I’ve never had to crank an album this hard to be able to hear it lol

 

Spotify ftw

 

Not as good as the last two albums but still a banger. I've said it 100 trillion times. A criminally underrated band in the punk scene.

 

Just saw them in Austin opening for flogging Molly. Only 1 new song (smile cry) and it ruled. Great pit song. These guys keep adding bangers.

Honestly, I'd drop "one trillion dollars". I've seen that song probably 10 times now. It never slaps live like it should

 

That’s surprising they only played one new song. They played at least 2 here a full month or so before the record came out. I figured they’d bump it to 3 after the fact

I do agree that the band could use a setlist shake-up (then again I wouldn't expect more than 1 or 2 new songs in a support slot anyway); the problem is that a bit like Rise Against I'd say they have a lot of setlist staples that it's difficult to imagine them dropping. Would like to see Turncoat or Die For The Government rotated out, maybe, and I've never been that hot on Hate Conquers All, but that's personal preference.

 

The only reason I'd keep die for you government is its the only pre Terror State (2003) song they play anymore. If you wanna switch it up and do underground network I'm for that.

I've seen anti flag a whopping 10 times now and the past 10 years or so its always
- die for your government
- turncoat
- one trillion dollars
- this is the end
- press corpse

And they've done "should I stay or should I go" every time too.

Brandenburg gate will be a forever staple going forward too. So yeah not a lot of wiggle room for other stuff.

 

We got drink drank punk in Toronto in December

 

(Quiet enough to be somewhat ashamed)

I don’t love Brandenburg Gate. I don’t think it was a huge hit by any measure, it never goes off live and they have enough other songs with that message/motif that they don’t need to keep ending with that one.

 

Nice! The quiet version is still up so make sure you add the correct one.

 

Thanks for the heads up y’all

 

So I was listening to this on Spotify and I noticed how some of the back half songs sounded much quieter than the others, so I went to this thread and saw the talk about the Apple Music version, so I removed the version I had on my playlist and put the one currently on Spotify, and now all the songs sound equally quiet, so... yeah. Cool stuff.

 

Yeah, it’s so bad that I rarely listen to it. Not sure what the hell happened there

 

On AM there are two versions. The good and the quiet. Is there only one on Spotify?

 

Apparently they have disbanded. All social media accounts are gone


And then there’s this:

 

booo

 

Super bummed if this band are actually done for good. Happy I got to see them one last time in December, but man what a sad day

 

Reached out to the label, this seems like a weird way to go out, and looks maybe hacked?
