Intro5pect - Realpolitik!

View The Review

3 out of 10

There are a number of warning signs with this record. For starters, it's on Anti Flag's record label. Bearing in mind how truly awful the last Anti Flag record was, that's a bad start. Secondly, it's described as "electro politi-punk". I don't know what that means, but it sounds stupid. Thirdly and finally, it has synths in it. Synths and punk are rarely a good combination.

In reality it veers between sounding like a very lightweight Atari Teenage Riot and Anti Flag with euro pop synth riffs, with a hint of Bad Religion. Neither of these things is in any way good, and the middle ground in-between occupied by most of the songs is little better.
