Strike Anywhere - Iron Front
Strike Anywhere is a band that I’ve found myself making a lot of excuses for. I’m not sure if it’s because I just love Change is a Sound so much, or if I genuinely think they’re as great a band as the amount I defended Dead FM would have to warrant. Fortunately, Iron Front is far and away the best thing they’ve done since Change was released eight years ago. The album is relentless at the very least, and really excels at what makes them so relatable; the defining of the political through the personal. Songs like “Western Scale” and “First Will and Testament” are the kind of hallmark song that Strike Anywhere used to live on. The slow open of “Summerpunks” is one of my favorite punk rock “moments” this year. While the album isn’t perfect, and it lags in the middle like most Strike Anywhere records, the first four and last six songs are near-perfect. “I’m Your Opposite Number” is a great early album gem reminiscent of Dead FM’s “Hollywood Cemetery” or Change’s “Laughter in a Police State”. Strike Anywhere can still be as hard as any of their contemporaries, and Bridge Nine did a great job bringing the band back to a more “hardcore” sound. (4/5)

holy fuck that’s a lot of vodka
My sister once paid me to buy her a bottle of Grey Goose that size once, and a 16 year old girl ended up getting alcohol poisoning at my dad’s house.
Nick P! Wanna fuck each other’s sisters??
I’m not letting you put your dick anywhere near my sister.

You know what? I love this movie. I really fucking love it. However,
A. It is not PT Anderson’s best film. Boogie Nights is.
B. It is not the best film of 2008. No Country For Old Men was.
People always violently disagree with me, especially about point B. I think that has more to do with the fact that a movie always becomes cool to dislike and call “overrated” when it wins Best Picture.
I have to respectfully disagree on both counts. I championed There Will Be Blood months before the Oscars that year, and I still maintain that it’s probably the best non-rerelease movie I’ve ever seen in theaters. I still watch it and find new things to love about it. I actually frequently find people who side with No Country and call me crazy for thinking otherwise.
On the subject of P.T. Anderson’s best work, I think any claim is a bit of a gray area. I can justify any of his films (Hard Eight excluded) as his best work (though in reality, I’ll always side with Magnolia). The fact of the matter is that all of Anderson’s films are brilliant, and I’ll maintain that Paul Thomas Anderson is the greatest living American filmmaker (with the exception of maybe Terrence Malick, maybe).
