There was another album released
recently, with this title. They are very different works.
For my money, though, this is the
best Sick of It All Album,
It has nothing to do with the fact
that this was the album that they were out touring to support when I first saw
them live. They were touring with the Dropkick Murphys, at the time one of my
favorite bands. They stole the show from Dropkick. I was in the pit and did the
wall of death and was too worn out to really pay attention to the Murphy’s set.
I bought the shirt at the merch
table and went and bough the album and listened to it a bunch. I started buying
the other albums, but this was the best one. It was more melodic, and better
produced than some of the earlier records – a black mark for some fans, but it
worked for me.
I
don’t know what happened, but music slipped out of my life for a while, until I
started learning how to play bass and guitar a couple of years ago. It was even
later when I heard that Sick of It All was back on tour with a new album. The
new album is good, but I wanted to relive my past. Sadly, I have no idea what
happened with my old version of this album, so I had to buy it again. It had
been ten years or so, and I remembered the words and the breakdowns. From start
to finish, it still holds up, with some great songs that make you want to punch
the floor. Except for that last track, it just doesn’t fit.
