Search - Exploited :: Punks Not Dead

Raw energy, no pretense

"Along with Troops of Tomorrow, another punk classic, this album hits hard with its simple raw energy. No listener should expect an enlightening experience. Another review attempted to make a point by rattling off band after band in some weak comparison. But the Exploited's real message isn't contained within a bunch of pseudo-intellectual lyrics. In fact, much of the music lashes out against this exact type of uptight poser attitude. It's all about the energy and the agression."

Grow up.

""Anybody who listens to "Punks not Dead" and doesnt love it is just a trendy poser who should be listening to watered-down bubblegum MTV pop punk."



That is one of the stupidest statements I have ever read. People that don't like this album just don't like this album. There is nothing WRONG with that. I bet you think you're so PuNk RaWk for saying that. Well, let me tell ya, that statement is more poserish than a bad review. Oh, by the way, you're an idiot. :)



Anyway, this may not be a great album, but it's got some pretty fun songs on it that are fun to blast. Like "Army Life" and "I Believe In Anarchy". If you're looking for something you can enjoy listening to that you really don't have to think about, then I suggest this album.



PS: I'm older than 13 and I'm not a punk. The reviewer below just pushes me even farther away from the punk scene..."

"I like the Exploited and I love their music. And note that I'm not a "punk rocker" because most people who claim to be "punk rock" are just a little clique that accuses everyone of being a poser. Everything is about being "punk rock" and it gets old. Just grow up and stop whining about your punks and posers."
