In terms of the review the last statement is the most important rallying cry of all time and one that no politician will ever understand.

FoS, admittedly I still haven't actually heard all of their albums but in terms of the ones I know they're not too too different though this is a bit more tame than some of their other work.

Southern Rock Opera is a double album which is pretty much straight up Southern rock through and through, few albums rock as relentlessly as that one over the course of 2 discs (take that statement with a grain of salt of course since I don't listen to much hard rock outside of these guys and a few others).

Decoration Day (my personal favorite) is a bit more varied with a more primarily alt-country sound and some more stripped down tones but with a lot awesome Southern rock stylings as well.

The Dirty South is a bit of a middle ground between Southern Rock Opera and Decoration Day, not too countryish but also not as raucous as SRO.

Those are the essential albums to check if you want more from these guys, Brighter Than Creation's Dark is a fan favorite as well though I've never heard the full thing myself. Their first two albums are supposedly closer to straight-up alt-country but I haven't heard those either.

Go-go Boots has a more stripped down, almost soul/R&B influenced sound but it doesn't do a whole ton for me. The album before this, English Oceans is really great as well though doesn't reach the heights of their best work.

Amazing review, Boney. The track you put on the playlist is one of my favorites on there.
