| Gimp – The Only Other Way Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think its just about that angsty jaded teenage mentality. Y'know being ambition-less, untalented, most likely less-than-popular kid in High School. But in some ways, it seems like a response to the people who criticized his hobbies (a.k.a. his band) and asked him condescending rhetorical questions like "what, do you honestly believe you're gonna get famous?". | |

| Against Me! – New Wave Lyrics | 18 years ago |

It seems to be mostly aimed at elitist 'old-school' AM! fans. Kinda like a "hey, heres our shot at change" message. If only the medium would've been something a little deeper than a hollow rock record, complete with enough cliches that could make even the cheesiest of senior citizens feel uncomfortable. Regardless of the band's politics or there income, this record is not an AM! record, it is not a punk rock record, and they are certainly no longer the 'saviors of punk', but the heroes of 14-year old alternative kids desperately trying to be different than their friends and/or siblings. Yeah I understand, everyone needs money. Shit, given the chance I think anyone would go for a multi-million dollar record deal. Really, I'm sure these guys aren't much different maybe except for the fact they drink bottled water and not Blue Ribbon, but really constant Anarchist themed songs, records, conversations, messageboard manifestos, and lyric booklets get old after awhile. Personally I really liked their Fat Wreck releases, simply because they're weren't just against the system albums, they projected thoughts that you'd encounter when bullshitting with a guy at a bar at 1 am. I'll end my ranting there a suppose. Sorry for the unprovoked bigoted opinions. |

It is catchy, but the vocals on Vivida Vis! simply because it sounds like Tom is screaming bloody murder the whole way through. Don't get me wrong, I like lyrics & melodies alongside traditional Against Me! screaming, but Vivida Vis's primary vox. influence seems to be Slayer. |

| Against Me! – Turn Those Clapping Hands into Angry Balled Fists Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Well it seems that its about how everyone (including AM!) is stuck in this big commercialized system like-it-r-not. A sweatshop owned by international corporations produced the clothing, items, and appliances in your home, the electricity that runs through your home for your computer/television/refrigerator/AC/Heating comes from semi-regional companies and corporations. Essentially, everything we do is all thanks to establishment. | |
