Generally favorable reviews - based on 5 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The punk rock band releases its first album on the SideOneDummy label.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 5
  2. Negative: 0 out of 5
  1. They get the sentiment of a thousand anguished FT editorials across in a mere 30 minutes.
  2. Indictments abound on The People Or The Gun, Anti-Flag's seventh full-length that proves Pittsburgh's politically aware punks haven't lost their bite nor bark. [Jul 2009, p.122]
  3. The band isn't in the same lyrical league as others of similar political persuasions. What they do have is energy, which makes about half the album enjoyable, in spite of lyrics that would sound more appropriate coming from a high-school freshman.
