I don't get why everyone thinks this band sold out because that just isn't true they grew up. It's called evolving and if bands don't evolve they're not real they're machines. I still respect these and love the album. this is true punk

Honestly I adore this band and I love how their sound has developed and they've carried on writing songs that they believe the message to.

To everyone who keeps complaining about how Against Me! sold out and aren't real musicians anymore and sadface ohno their music is different, good luck finding any band (or person) ever that isn't going to change with time. I actually think a big part of Against Me!'s change stems from them realizing that it isn't worthwhile to try to subscribe to some sort of elitist group beliefs (anarchism being one)

Aw, Dang it! I thought there might be more pictures to match up to some of the references. Like pictures of tourist bars, shots of San Marco Avenue, and is there some kind of event where they shoot the cannon in the water? A military base?

Can someone please explain and validate the whole "They've just grown up" argument cause I'm afraid I don't get how anyone could say that about Against Me! The sound has changed...drastically, whether that's good or bad is a matter of perception I suppose. However, you can't listen to a song like 'ya'll don't wanna step to dis'...the dept to the lyrics and the issues Tom is singing about and honestly believe that White crosses is more mature and grown up than that...not possible sorry!

i agree. they are classified as pop punk. i love against me listening for years but bands do have to grow. i like how they evolved and all albums dont sound the same. they all have something different. i really dont like teenage anarchist thought, that shit is 2 mainstream and when did true punk go mainstream?

Wow people just need to let the band make music and if ya dont like their new shit then dont listen to it. Their old stuff is great and leave it at that. Every band goes through a phase where its new stuff isnt as good as the old stuff but hey thats life. Against me is a bad ass band. I like it all. Old stuff and New stuff. Why do people have to get all butt burt over nothing? Just relax and relax listening to good music.

To be honest both sides in this hole "sell out" thing are right. Tbh I don't think they wrote all of I Was A Teenage Anarchist, just doesn't sound like all of the words came from Gabel's mouth if any and when he plays it live he doesn't look like he's enjoying it. One by One/ Unprotected... give a better understanding of why the left the Punk rock 'scene' in which they admit themselves money comes into it. But hey ignore I Was A Teenage Anarchist and every song by them is epic.

i don't think that they sold out, it's just that when i listen to against me i wanna feel something, something that i have never felt with any other band. but their new stuff is just, well vapid. all their songs were very meta. now i find myself singing along with a blank mind. theyre music is still good, but i feel like they lost what they stood for.

Their previous albums definitely embodied the classic vestiges of punk, this album not so much. White Crosses does have more of an alternative rock feel, esp in lieu of music today. But take Miami or The Energizer in context of the time they were released as far as main stream music and political climate are concerned. I suppose once your music is classified as a particular genre, its there to stay.
