Most likely; this or Potemkin, according to your tastes.

TETA > PCL > HTCE > LTMR > WQIJ#1 is pretty much the good to not as good Propagandhi hierarchy.
Never liked how HTCE is always below PCL. I don't understand why people don't like it as much as the rest of their work. =/This Message Edited On 04.15.08

Okay so I like this more, but I still don't think it's nearly classic. Some of the songs here are really great and definitely are better than I originally thought. However, I really think that regardless of the fact that they may be very informed, their blunt delivery of the lyrics tends to just sound very off putting. I mean I'm very much liberal, but even then, their presentation of their views is irritating and makes them sound less intelligent than they may be. Back to the Motor League, March of the Crabs, Purina Hall of Fame, Ladies Night, the title track, and Albright Monument are all awesome tracks, but most of the others range from just great, to fairly average. Natural Disasters and Fuck the Border are both pretty lame still.



Some of the guitar rhythms on here are sick though, although the production is a bit too trebly to really help them stand out.

Yeah. The one thing I'm not keen on is Ryan Greene's production, on much of anything really. It's so cardboard and lifeless I can't stand it. I'm so glad Fat Mike stopped sending his bands to Motor City Studios as The Blasting Room is so much better. If this record had PCL's production that would kick much ass.



I love "Natural Distasters"! That song is so unconventional, it's awesome. You gotta check out their live record too, they play a lot of songs off this and it's more raw.

Got this album. It didn't impress me as much as Suporting Caste, but it was still very good.

I still think this is their best work, although Supporting Caste and Potemkin City Limits come close.

Play-acting "anarchists" and Mommy's-little-skinheads,

Death-threats and sycophants and wieners drunk on straight-edge.

Fuck off

Who cares?

I'd rather highlight Trip-Tiks than listen to your bullshit.

Fuck off

Who cares- about your stupid scenes, your shitty zines, the straw-men you build up to burn?



This album is gold. Reviewing it sometime.

Best prop album and one of the best punk albums of all time. There isn't even one mediocre song on this.

Anything from past this is amazing. Everything before is a bit too generic punk.

Still probably the most important album I've ever heard, at least considering when I heard it and the effect it had on me. Hard reading my old reviews though *cringe*
