"See them while on tour and watch them KILL IT! I saw them twice while on the west coast leg of the tour. Nice guys who put out a powerful album. Do yourself a favor catch the live show and buy the cd cause the album is great."

THE BONES ARE BACK !!!!

"After a 4 year hiatus and the failure of their metally reunion record, the Bones are back with a brutal slab of hardcore punk. Forced to strip this new effort of nearly all of the metallic influences that had leaked into their previous cd, only the solos remain as witness of said influences, and only to a certain extent. Don't get me wrong, though; my collection has little metal in it, but if there's anything I like more than punk, metal or hardcore, that's CROSSOVER !! And that's gone prolly for good. The result, if excellent in its own right, failed to excite this listener as much as the other cd did. This is one of those typical ¨return to their roots ¨cds, evident in songs like the gorgeous, dicharge-esque No One Survives. Dave Bridgewood shines on drums yet again.Lyrics are rabidly anti-war/anti-violence this time, with issues like the Iraq war , Bush and Blair, pointless slaughter of soldiers and gratuitous violence hitting the fan energetically. These people are anarcho-pacifists (Oddy plays bass for Conflict no lees) and it transpires on every lyric. Production is better than on W/O Conscience except it features the same lack of upper treble. This edition (limited to the first 1000 cds)has excellent reworkings of FOAD and Decapitated as bonus tracks. This cd cannot be absent from any BB fan's collection."
