I really really hope this album is better quality than the copy I got. Because that one sounds like shit for the most part. Should try to find a better copy...this is one of my favorite punk bands. Definitely leaders of the scene.

The vocals are what is the biggest weakness for the record in the long run. I don't know, the AWS guy has not that broad vocal range as well, but they compensate that better with multiple singers here and there...



But overall this is a great punk record nonetheless. =)

Haha, way to bring in AWS Damrod. Probably the one band in the punk scene that owns me more than Strung Out. Trevor and Bri's Vocals bring so much more into the music and compliment Nuno perfectly.



With that said, the vocals on this album are probably the only thing I'd have a gripe with, if I had to gripe. I personally don't think he'll top his performance on Exile.

Supporting Caste just got fisted


Definitely did not, SC is the better album overall, more variety and pretty much every track on it smokes. Most of the material on Agents (while awesome) is more of a refinement than an evolution in their sound, while Supporting Caste really took their sound to the next level (especially the guitar work and melodies).

True, I feel like Propagandhi did progress more between albums (though Blackhawks was kind of a letdown so I'm tracing back to Exile), but I guess I just like Strung Out's guitarists and vocals better. Just my opinion

i dont understand why people hype up these punk albums as much as they do.


Because they're usually pretty great

Strung Out is the only punk band worthy of having their albums hyped up though.



And to the dude who asked on the previous page for a bad song from Exile, well I don't like 'Lucifermotorcade' much. Worst song on the record for mine. And the only song that isn't at least 4/5. But yeah it's the best punk album of the decade.

Lucifermotorcade is kind of awesome tho because it's the heaviest thing they've done since Element. And the solo kills.



And I'd argue that Propaghandi and A Wilhelm Scream are definitely worthy of the hype that their albums get.

Great album, but i think the lyrics are lacking somewhat, especialy compared to Exile and everything before that. Still, a HUGE improvement over Blackhawks.

Couldn't agree more with the Exile backers. That is my favorite Strung Out album hands down, and I was disappointed with Blackhawks. Lot of terrible songs on it. Why the hell did they ever write Dirty Little Secret??

But this sounds like they're back and doing what they do best, perfectly blending metal and punk music.
