For the members of If All Else Fails, eight years is an awful long time. Eight years without an album—but the wait is finally over! DO NOT FORGET TO BE ANGRY could be considered a kind of "best of" album. It features 12 tracks that span a wide spectrum of musical genres (ranging from up-tempo rock to driving, melodic ballads). I was really impressed with the versatility of Ryan Murphy's voice, as well as the lyrical content throughout this effort. "Inside the Lie" proves to be my favorite track, with its political content that's to the point yet subtle in delivery. I love the way this disc flows from one track to the next. Independent music at its finest.
