Warning: this is NOTHING like KD or MF. Snowy Shaw has taken a completely new direction in his music-writing, and Andy and Sharlee have followed effectively. I know that many don't like the punk sound, but I do. I think it provides a whole new level for them to write on. It's great music to blast in your car, too. Overall, it's very uplifting, energetic music. Some bad things: misspellings in the booklet (but those can be forgiven because English is not their first language and they're on a small-budget label) and some vulgar lyrics. Their attitude towards women offends me a bit, being a woman myself, but I overlook it because of the great music that accompanies those lyrics. Yonas sings well in my opinion, particularly when he hits some fairly high notes. He has a good range, and I like the vocal melodies. I say get this album if you like (or are open-minded about) punk metal or if you're a fan of Andy, Snowy, or Sharlee.
