Album Description

Their previous LP, "Die Hards", solidified NYC's Casualties as the kings of the current gutter punk movement. Two years of touring with the likes of Bad Religion, The Dropkick Murphys, TSOL, The Bouncing Souls, and the Warped Tour lifted the band's profile. Now they're ready to leave their scar on the modern punk masses with "On The Front Line" which captures the sonic assault that's been the trademark of their live performances.

4 out of 5 stars Just like older Casualties, with a little extra.......2006-07-07

This is the release that put The Casualties on the map. Well, sort of. It didn't exactly go gold but it certainly helped make them much more popular than they ever were before. While its similiar to older Casualties' releases in that its fast hardcore/punk it also has much better production and the musicianship is also better though still far from perfect. The lyrics have also changed with fewer generic songs about how they are punks, love to drink and party ect. ect. and more songs that deal with political issues, the media, and war. Unknown Soldier is one of these tracks and is also one of the best on the album. Its lyrics about a soldier who dies in combat possess an anti-war message without being too preachy while the series of "whoa"'s throughtout it make it somewhat of an anthem. Sounds From the Streets has a catchy chorus that will get stuck in your head while Static Feedback and Noise lets everyone know how the Casualties feel about the state of music today. Other stand out songs are the title track and Death Toll, both of which feature plenty of gang vocals and those generic but oh so enjoyable punk riffs.Tragedy isn't quite as hard as the rest of the album but its another catchy song with lots of "whoa"s.


If you like older Casualties or are a fan of hard music in general you should like this too. And as long as you can ignore the obnoxious Hot Topic addicted new fans they've picked up thanks to their popularity its also more than worth it to see them live.

5 out of 5 stars really good for punk rock in 21st century in the usa.......2006-04-16

this band is like the GBH and Discharge of the 21st century in the united states. look at what is being sold as "punk" today. blink 182 who?!?!?...haha i hate blink 182's pop music

i saw these guys play live and they ruled. despite the singers tendency to say lyrics only few understand. tomorrow belongs to us is a really good song. as is unknown soldier and on the front line. i definately recommend this album to any punk rock fans. it may not be as solid and true as GBH and Exploited, but like i said. its 2006 and american.

go listen to your coffee shop coldplay, washed up classic rock, and crybaby fallout boy and slit your wrists some if you think casualties suck!

i think the majority of people who hate this either A.) hate punk rock or B.) are huge hypocrites.

im sure if you would actually LISTEN to it and READ the lyrics, you may see it's good punk in both areas.

4 out of 5 stars To the person below........2006-02-02

If this was an older Casualties release, I would agree 100 percent. I don't think you've heard this one. It's a pretty good album, and it's lyrics aren't about beating people up and getting drunk like all their old stuff. They've changed, and they've changed for the better. This album has some ANTI VIOLENCE and ANTI WAR messages in it. No, it isn't a great album, but it is definately way better than that "We're all drunk punks" garbage they were recording before. Now, I actually have respect for them. I really hope their next album is like this, and that they never go back to talking about getting drunk and fighting again.

1 out of 5 stars Do you really want to join the army?.......2006-01-31

Please stop letting yourself be brainwashed by this macho hypocricy. A large part of street punk and oi! is just something for racist, scared white people to hide behind. Singing about wearing boots and beating up people who you outnumber does not make you special, it just makes you as hateful and narrow-minded as the authorities you oppose. If you really want to be tough, save the whales. This band is government music, and big time labels prefer these hateful bands because they make punks look like a bunch of scary degenerates, and because they can convince some teenagers to fight in the middle east. Think about what you're doing if you choose to buy this cd; do you really think that in 30 years you will say "I am happy I became such a moron and beat up all my neighbors."

4 out of 5 stars The only good record these guys have put out...so far........2006-01-07

When I first heard them a few years ago, I thought I would die laughing. They had some of the stupidest lyrics imaginable. Most of their music was about how punk rawk they are, which is pretty poserish. Singing about how punk you are is really quite lame and makes you seem like an idiot. In fact, back then, I thought they were all idiots. Their hair made me laugh. OMG I WANT THREE MOHAWKS LOLZ!!1! I told myself I'd never listen to anything by them again.

But, one day, someone I know told me that this record is deeper than "I am more punk rawk than you". I couldn't believe what he was telling me. The Casualties...not singing about how punk they were? Out of pure curiosity, I bought this album. And I was pleasantly suprised. This isn't anything too original, but it's ten times better than their old crap. I really dig the songs "On The Front Line" and "Unknown Soldier". The latter one's lyrics are kind of sloppy at the beginning, though.

So, um, overall, if you're a fan of political punk and if you don't mind alot of screaming in your music, you should get this.
