Sep 28, 2022Being a huge Anti-Flag for many many years, This is my favorite AF record just behind The General Strike. I really like how all the songs flow from the 1st track to the last. Modern Rome is burning down, Spit in the face and Good and Ready are some of the best punk rock songs in the past 20 years. Everything sounds great and the aggression is still there. Great job Anti-Flag!

MaxHMay 3, 2008If you compare this to their later albums it is less political and less anarchy influenced. Though most of their stuff is usually pretty boring this hit the lowest point. Thanks for trying, Anti-Flag. Go back to Underground Network or Die For Your Government.

AhmetApr 10, 2008This is Anti-Flag. They're fighters of the old-school punk.

SteveApr 8, 2008This is the first I have heard of Anti-Flag, so I have no previous work to compare to but I liked this a lot. Not necessarily punk in the purest sense, but each song delivers something worthwhile.

Alternative PressBright Lights is a super-serious record that demostrates some super-serious song craft. [May 2008, p.130]

The Bright Lights of America, Anti-Flag's second major-label album and eighth overall, proves for the billionth time that good intentions don't always make good music.

Unfortunately, despite now working with David Bowie producer Tony Visconti, who infuses their angular, system-smashing screeds with timpani ("Good and Ready"), brass ("Shadow of the Dead"), and harmonica ("Go West"), Anti-Flag still don't possess the innate pop sensibility that's allowed Against Me! to make a mainstream move.
