Canada's punk rock band Propagandhi is well-known for their political views. Along with great political songs, this album also includes essays concerning the injustices in the world in their CD booklet. The issues covered in the essays are capitalism, religion, animal cruelty, and oppression of women.

The disc sums up the whole album - it displays an anarchy sign with the words "anti-fascist, gay-positive, pro-feminist, and animal-friendly" circling it. The first track ends with "So why not consider some one else: STOP CONSUMING ANIMALS" which then leads into the second song of the album which sings the chorus "Meat is still murder. Dairy is still rape."

The diversity of the songs are suitable for any mood: some songs are mellow while the others are harder. All the songs almost border on militant but it's, nonetheless, thought-provoking and interesting.

Propagandhi is recording this spring, so watch for their new album and tour late this year!
