Advantages: Consistent, best anti flag songs, meaningful

Disadvantages: Similar sound in some songs

Underground network was the album that really proved the capabilities of anti flag. They have struggled in recent years in my opinion to replicate the high standards set by this excellent album. The album begins with great spirit and vigor with 'angry,young and poor' which sets a fast tempo which is followed throughout most of the album. There is not a single standout poor track on this record, each of them have their value and therefore all 13 of the songs are worth listening to over and over again. The riffs are catchy and well in tune with the song.Justin's vocals are generally powerfully and portray some oustanding lyrics which send out very convincing messages to listeners. The only song which doesnt really fit this message is perhaps spaza's house destruction party which although is a good song, sounds out of place when compared to the rest of the album. It is difficult to single out songs, but my favourite are culture revolution and bring out your dead because of their dramatic choruses. This is by far the best anti-flag album because of its consistency. It has a very powerful political message which is not dulled down as much as later albums and there is a more lot of energy and creativity in this album. Anti-flag fans must own this album but it is also recommended for fans of punk bands such as bad religion and rise against.

Summary: Quality album
