I saw these guys live once. Chris threw his pick to the audience at the end of the set. It landed in my beer, and it’s now sitting in a frame on my wall
Nice catch. I saw them going on four times like 12 yrs ago in Austin and Houston TX and recently in NYC twice over the yrs. Good show missed the tour with AFI and rise against tho :(
@@european-one not an AFI fan much but anti flag and rise against alone would be absolutely incredible. Saw them with a smaller band called Maids of Ace recently!
I won't lie, I miss the "A New Kind of Army"-sound. But, if this is the way that Anti-Flag is headed, then I'll roll with it. Punk is in the message, not in how pop-ish you sound.

oh my god, melodyne and clip distortion on Sane's voice! i fucking LOVE it. makes it sound mainstream, accessable, but angry as hell. the point of this band is to reach people who weren't political before. not just placate to the people who already agree with them. that's why they appeal to the mainstream a bit as well, to help illuminate their minds. it's a brilliant strategy. it's how i found them. i'm sure there are millions like me.

I dig it. AF always making something important and relevant for the music world. Even if you can't agree with their specific politics, they stand for equality and respect- something I think most of us can get behind.
Went to listen for the first time expecting the usual anti flag style (which I've always loved) and was both surprised and blown away when I heard it. I actually really love this sound. It has their attitude and an awesome message. It's anti flag but it's very evolved. There are very few songs that can become favorites of mine before even getting through the song once but this song has done that. Every second of it had me hooked. And I didn't think an Anti-Flag song could beat Brandenburg Gate!
I just saw these guys last night in Clifton park,NY. Sound even better live. Meet and greet was cool. First time for hearing them and I’m hooked. Your newest fan Tammy
I'm glad to see these guys getting better recording quality and becoming better musicians along the way. Strong messages in their lyrics in which I can relate and get behind. Keep up the good work!
Punk is standing for a cause and doing what you want, punk is the kid that wrote an essay about American propaganda when learning about world war II, you can't call them pop punk just because you voted for Trump and America isn't great again yet.
You're clueless. The propaganda that you've been fed is conformity pretending to be rebellion. Punk is about questioning things not pretending to question things. Kicking and screaming is easier than realizing the media is using pretend racism to incite outrage.
@@KubuśpuchatekTVN please dont the people who can afford to vote for him are the people least affected by him. In 1 year I can legally get a job. Thanks to him, I might not be able to just cuz I'm trans. Please think about the people below you before you do stuff that actively harms us.
@@noahnoneyobusiness4494 You fuckin nailed it. This is why I hate this band. This is why I dislike most modern punk rock. It's the sniveling status-quo marketed as edgy rebellion. There is nothing daring or challenging about this music or the message pushed by the band. Respect man!
.............. You must not be in America, they are one of the most over rated punk bands we are constantly subjected to hearing about. My Bernie- Brainwashed best friend wont shut the fuck up about them. And their new stuff coming out this year sounds like stadium rock from when we were kids, like shit that toured with Nickleback.
what are people complainin about? this stuff is amazing, their lyrics represent how we say we are the best country, but we have guns, drugs, bombs, as literally an American Attraction
Punk isn't about being a leftist. It's about fighting against tyranny, where ever it comes from. If you're on the far left today. Then YOU are the boot licker, boy.
?? Why are all these people complaining about how it's not anti-flag? A band should be allowed to mold and change as they go, if they didn't making music would be very boring.
that is always the argument but i think the problem is: very few people actually believe that this is the style that the band rly wants. for me it sounds like sellout, they change their style to reach more people and make more money AND that is exactly what i don't like. i don't believe them, not after all those albums. this is completely different and not anti flag
Illusion_Illustrations Because Anti-Flag isn't normally a generic pop sounding band. I can hear the influence of Benji Madden (The dudes from Good Charlotte who unfortunately produced this LP). I wouldn't be bothered much by the slightly poppier and catchier songwriting, but the vocal and guitar sounds are really overproduced.
Bands like Anti Flag are why America stays great. It is the people, not the ruler, that make America what it is. Remember that we are living in unique times, and that Trump DOES NOT represent us. As long as the American people speak out we remain great, it is when we bend a knee that we fail.
Fast forward to joe Biden n how tyrannical this country has gotten and you might just maybe wish you had trump back. Sad how as we progress we get worse and worse leaders.
@@Synastar88 let's just be honest, all politicians suck. I'm done pointing fingers and saying "well they were bad, but this person was worse." It doesn't matter and it's not gonna fix anything.
All people here are complaining how this isn't anti flag anymore and everything and yeah, it's completely different from the other songs and the filter over the vocal is really unnecessary because his voice sounds even better without... But I love the moments they sing the word bomb and bass goes on or I don't know my English isn't good enough to explain this, but I love these moments in the song ._.
My brother just left for the Army. He left a box of shirts for me, and an Anti-Flag shirt was one of them. He wore it all the time, so of course I snagged it. I didn't know who they were, but I'm so glad I looked into this band!
This song is fucking awesome. Please make more songs like this song. Your band is one of the last, who does play awesome rock music. Greetings from Germany!
Warmest greetings to Anti-Flag from Russia! Every word in this song is true and hits right into the target, it's what we see and feel now all over the world. Your song Fabled world is so strong, honest and brave, it really touched my heart and mind. Keep going guys and I wish you the best!

I can understand the “complaints” but I stand by this being as Anti-Flag as possible. If this sounds over produced, poppy, catchy and manufactured for radio - then DUH. This was clearly intended to be so. The sound choice - to me, at least - is intended to be in parody of the washed out, dolled up LIE that America has been for the longest time now, and still gaining momentum. It even fits the lyrics in that theory. Anti-Flag has been talking about it (among other things) their entire careers. It’s literally meant to parody that theme while backing it’s message. This is truth through satire. IT’S THE AMERICAN ATTRACTION. Literally. Some folks here mentioned similarities to Green Day - for which I will add a semi-recent example of why this is true. Besides the obvious fact that they have also been doing that sort of thing for nearly 30 years. “Kill the DJ” was also produced and written to parody itself. It was ripped to shreds by the fan-base. I always felt that many missed the joke. It’s supposed to sound hollow, over-produced, and manufactured for radio trends. Again, the lyrics may as well SHOUT that sentiment. They were calling out shitty radio while sounding like shitty radio. That was also BEFORE iHeart, btw. That was the whole point. I felt like that whole trilogy was doing that in a way. But that’s just me and my 10 cents. Thanks for sitting through my Ted Talk.
It's not exactly Anti-Flag sounding but it's still good. Not as good but still a pretty good song. Racists was an absolutely fantastic song though so I'm still pretty excited for the new album. Anyone know why Racists is unlisted now?
Came here because I heard the video was inspired by legendary film They Live. Wonderful homage, and especially loved the ending! Powerful message. EDIT: This comment was meant for The Disease, but jumped to the next video as I was commenting.
@@surfpsych ah man, know what happened? I watched The Disease, and started typing my comment. Then it jumped to the next video just as I clicked submit.
Well F*^%@*! DONE !! - I don't care WHAT particular "message" is intended here,.. the track (*the SONG), the performance execution, the sonic production, and the video HAS HUMAN IMPACT. This isn't really even "my cup of tea",.. as genre goes, but I listened/watced it several times. This IS a "straight-down-the-middle" HIT. Undenialble - Congratulations !!
@Sp3nd Coin How is property rights the opposite of freedom? Capitalism is free enterprise, free agreement among people. Capitalism does not need government beyond the guarantee of individual rights.
I don't know it sounds godd but it doesn't sound like a real Anti-Flag song. I think what bothers me the most are the effects on Justin's voice. But hey, it does sound really good so if this is the only song with that kind of style im ok with it. I like it. But I hope that the other songs sound more Anti-Flagish. Well Racists does so I'm gonna buy this Album anyway :P
I feel the same. Lyrics is perfect but performance is terrible. I know they can make whatever they want, but I miss punk in this song. Modified voice and the sound of the whole song doesn't fit there. I'd appreciate more songs in style of This Is The End. This new song reminds me of pop. Hope that's the last song like that.
I love how everyone says he's using auto tune. Auto tune corrects your voice. It's just a filter. The msg awesome. Just not the same anti flag I grew up listening too, and it bums me out. Where's the fast basslines, the awesome thrash drums? Its cringe worthy
I don't know enough about song structure to comment on that in depth but yes it does remind me of American Idiot in general sound. I personally don't mind that though, because Green Day is one of my favourite bands and American Idiot is one of my favourite albums because of the political undertones. I do wonder if making it sound more mainstream is part of the point as a type of subversion.
The beginning especially. With stating a lyric. Then playing the main riff. Then stating a lyric and playing the riff is exactly the same as American. Idiot. Not in chords. But in structure. It's identical.
To everyone saying this doesn't sound like anti flag; wait till you hear the song live! It's fucking awesome and they smash it live it's so good! Also, they didn't use auto tune of this one, just a distortion filter, and just because they change their style a bit doesn't mean it's not them anymore get real
That's a great, anthemic chorus if I ever heard one. What I don't like is the (very intentionally) poppy verse. Pop sensibilities aren't necessarily wrong, but it's like they wrote it specifically to appeal to a wider audience. It's got this top 40 thing to it. Either way, the chorus is amazing enough for me to keep coming back to it.

Yeah, maybe you're right. 😁
Ah shit that is who I was thinking of. I love it.
Fucking love Billie talant!!
Rest of the album sounds much more like their older stuff. I think they always do one radio-friendly rock song for the publicity

Came here because I heard the video was inspired by legendary film They Live. Wonderful homage, and especially loved the ending! Powerful message.
EDIT: This comment was meant for The Disease, but jumped to the next video as I was commenting.
You arrived at "American Attraction" while searching for "The Disease.". They're similar.
@@surfpsych ah man, know what happened? I watched The Disease, and started typing my comment. Then it jumped to the next video just as I clicked submit.
@@GrievingForGrace 😁✨
Well F*^%@*! DONE !! -
I don't care WHAT particular "message" is
intended here,.. the track (*the SONG), the performance execution, the sonic
production, and the video HAS HUMAN IMPACT. This isn't really even "my
cup of tea",.. as genre goes, but I listened/watced it several times.
This IS a "straight-down-the-middle" HIT. Undenialble - Congratulations !!
Stephen Sea that was a really weirdly constructed sentence
"I don't care what message is intended here"
then you don't like the song in its entirety.
Have you ever found your new favorite band, and then realize that some awsome songs you've heard and loved before were made by them
Genial!,me encantó 💕
As serious as these songs are, this song is kinda fun. With the beat and everything. I love this
Sounds diferent but still is punk rock!
I'm noy sure if i would consider this song actual punk rock.
Anti-Flag plus Green Day would be awesome. Can't wait to see Green Day on Independence Day in NYC.
Anti-Flag is next on the list then Rammstein
Love this! ANARCHISM Forever
the fact that the top comment on most of their songs is “this band is so underrated” kinda says something
A MacDonald ads in an anti capitalism song. Daffuq.
So fake
This is not anti capitalism. Capitalism is freedom. They are criticizing the government. Those are the one with the monopoly of everything.
@Sp3nd Coin How is property rights the opposite of freedom? Capitalism is free enterprise, free agreement among people. Capitalism does not need government beyond the guarantee of individual rights.
@Zote There are no monopolies in free markets. It is impossible. Competence destroys monopolistic intentions.
@Zote what's the difference?
Keep coming back to this song...
This is my favourite Green Day song.
Green day is better than this shit xd song
Alter/ego i love green day,but this song is realy cool
what? xD it doesn't sound like Green Day
Lucien Riedinger No It doesn't... I think it's more like rise against
Thought the same thing lol. I still love them though
one of the best songs i've heard recently
Where my slamdunk 2019 peeps at?
North or South?
@@harveysmith6636 North :)
@@danielives5299 Same mate :). Loved these guys live!
@@harveysmith6636 Right!
I got hella fucked up at gallows hahaha
cant believe i cant see u guys at the fireball tour they put up the age limit by 2 years!
I don't know it sounds godd but it doesn't sound like a real Anti-Flag song. I think what bothers me the most are the effects on Justin's voice. But hey, it does sound really good so if this is the only song with that kind of style im ok with it. I like it. But I hope that the other songs sound more Anti-Flagish. Well Racists does so I'm gonna buy this Album anyway :P
HGGdragon i feel the same, I think they used many efects but the song still sounds good
Too polished less punk roots
Is an American Attraction
sounds like corporate rock anti flag has fallen
I feel the same. Lyrics is perfect but performance is terrible. I know they can make whatever they want, but I miss punk in this song. Modified voice and the sound of the whole song doesn't fit there. I'd appreciate more songs in style of This Is The End. This new song reminds me of pop. Hope that's the last song like that.
I'll been hearing this band forever love their new stuff F-ing awesome
they are like my favorite band but this song doesn't feel like them
really
I think this sounds great. Also, if Anti-Flag would be nice enough to come to Texas so I can see them at my first concert, that would be great.
I love how everyone says he's using auto tune. Auto tune corrects your voice. It's just a filter. The msg awesome. Just not the same anti flag I grew up listening too, and it bums me out. Where's the fast basslines, the awesome thrash drums? Its cringe worthy
its nice to see punk bands arent done fighting
Как тут нахуй не лайкнуть! По-мужски!👍✊👌
Справедливо
Sounds absolutely amazing! This should have way more views
2019?

This is super poppy. I don't know how I feel. I'm torn. I love these guys
Alexander Pasqualle Pridgen how is this poppy. It litterally starts with a scream
I wish they didn't change Justin's voice so much , it's missing that raw, punk sound every Anti Flag song has.
Just happens to stumble here and I'm already addicted
Justin's voice sounds weird
artsy unicorn yeah they're great live!
not auto tune, just a voice filter lol
It's muffled, definitely not auto-tune
TréIsCool it's ok for guy that suck cocks every day

love the sound!!! sick track!
Is it just me or is the structure of the song, general sound, and overall aesthetic of the video strangely reminiscent of American Idiot :/
Ian Chua the song gives me green day vibes too
I don't know enough about song structure to comment on that in depth but yes it does remind me of American Idiot in general sound. I personally don't mind that though, because Green Day is one of my favourite bands and American Idiot is one of my favourite albums because of the political undertones. I do wonder if making it sound more mainstream is part of the point as a type of subversion.
Ian Chua was thinkin the same thing. In fact before the music started I thought it was the music video for american idiot
The beginning especially. With stating a lyric. Then playing the main riff. Then stating a lyric and playing the riff is exactly the same as American. Idiot. Not in chords. But in structure. It's identical.
Sounds a bit like Last of the American Girls.
To everyone saying this doesn't sound like anti flag; wait till you hear the song live! It's fucking awesome and they smash it live it's so good! Also, they didn't use auto tune of this one, just a distortion filter, and just because they change their style a bit doesn't mean it's not them anymore get real
Commercial, radio friendly, pseudo-punk absurdity.
That's a great, anthemic chorus if I ever heard one. What I don't like is the (very intentionally) poppy verse. Pop sensibilities aren't necessarily wrong, but it's like they wrote it specifically to appeal to a wider audience. It's got this top 40 thing to it.
Either way, the chorus is amazing enough for me to keep coming back to it.
Their message is still there but they sound less and less punk with every release.
