State of Emergency

Been listening to The Living End's new album. I actually listened to it a bit in a shop a couple of days after it was released, and hated it. From the title, it sounded like a sequel to Modern Artillery, so I expected it to have the same complexity and political focus, which I don't think it does. Apparently a lot of their other fans didn't like Modern Artillery, because it wasn't punk enough or rock enough or something.
But I like it now that I've gotten over my expectations. According to James, everyone at Undercover reckons it's their best album so far, but I don't (yet).
