CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description 2010 release from the American Rock/Hip Hopsters. Survival Story is a vision of hope for a world facing its limits. While others revel in the dystopian, the Flobots remain committed to their ability to rise together. Navigating the coming years will require new tools. It will require narratives that cause us to reexamine our priorities, redefine wealth, and re-inspire ourselves. It will require that we come together in the face of death and write the story of our own survival. Paying it back, paying it forward. Lead single. 'White Flag Warriors', is a breath of fresh air against the backdrop of jingoistic, ole glory waving war. The band is courageous enough to wave the white flag, not for the sake of surrender, but for the idea of unarmed negotiations. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGreat album, not as good as their last W. Halabicky | CA | 03/27/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am a huge fan of the flobots and their message, i loved Fight With Tools to death, it's absolutley incredible, it's so fresh with that violin and rap beats and the occasional trumpet. The whole sound is just so unique and amazing. This album, is great, for today's music, but it's not as good as their last album. If you're new to The Fobots get their last album first because it's better. Anyway, one of my biggest fears about this album is that they would lose what made them original in the first place. I've seen it happen to a lot of great bands, they release their first hit album, and it's awsome!and they're launched into the mainstream. When their next album comes out, you're all axcited about it, and when you hear it, it sounds like every other band out there. The problem is the record company and whatnot but I won't get into that. But I'm glad to know that The Flobots did not fall to this! this album sounds almost as unique as the last. There's alot of rapping on it though, I would say almost every song. On the last album, their was more diversity. Anyway my favorite songs include defend atlantis, (the last half of the song is amazing) white flag warrior, (while this song sounds a little too mainstream, i still like it) good soldier, (really like the melody on this one) ad superhero. but i really like all the songs on the album. umm, anyway i think you should get it!" Mediocre Angry Wombat | 04/26/2010 (3 out of 5 stars) "Flobot's debut album could have been the beginning of something awesome, but it turned out to be their best... don't expect the punch the last album had." Hip-Hop(e) instead of Hip-Hype E. Constantineau | New Hampshire | 04/12/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "In an age where jaded ennui-laden lyrics swamp public discourse and narcissistic musicians jostle for the next photo session, The Flobots are such a refreshing alternative. "Survival Story" is more earnest and more autobiographically fragile than the Flobots' last effort, and for that it is more rich, and indeed, even more hopeful. The Flobots remind us that we will be battered by ever-rising tides, but they also encourage us to stand firm and keep on fighting with the tools we have. Every tme I see the Flobots perform live and every time I listen to "Survival Story" I am reminded not to give up. As long as the Flobots keep on hoping, so will I."
