Album Review
Anti-Flag
The Bright Lights Of America (2008)
This political punk music has good intentions: to spread concerns and queries about the current political scenario, particularly in the United States. But the theme of abusing power is totally cliché. Sorry dudes. Maybe I’m just past the stage where I have to act out against society for all my vices and stupid decisions—but maybe some people will find the tunes good for rocking out to…maybe.
Bright Lights of America is nothing that will bring some zing to your eardrums. The whole album sounds the same, like one song that’s an hour long.
Enjoying this album is a daunting task. It can be compared to sitting in a lecture theatre, listening to the most boring professor on the planet, and you only went to class because it’s required to graduate and there’s a midterm approaching.
