The Raffi that says "Fuck"!

About Me

Andrew Jackson Jihad has been described as acoustic folk punk. I love folk punk, folk, acoustic stuff so I decided to check out the band and see how they fair with other bands. If I was reviewing just the first song, I'd probably wouldn't even review this album but I decided to press on. The singer's voice is so annoying in that first song and the other members instrument playing is very cluttered. I guess the same thing can be said for the whole album but the rest of the songs aren't as bad. The singer's voice sounds like Colin Meloy of the Decemberists and Tom of Against Me...but if they had a cold. The production of the album is poor and I wouldn't be surprised if it was recorded in a bathroom. I think this band would be fun to see live but other than that, I wouldn't want to bother with them. -readjunk.com review.
