Suicide Machines' WAR PROFITEERING IS KILLING US ALL

I never really gave the Suicide Machines a chance back in the aughts, so I picked up War Profiteering Is Killing Us All, which is supposed to be their best. Nice to listen to an album where almost every track rails against the Iraq War. Interesting that the vocalist's melody of "Bottomed Out" sounds similar to "Ghosts On Sunset Strip". And pretty funny: the last track, "95% of the World Is Third World", sounds like he's singing "95% of the world is not woke".

I bought the album from Amazon because the record label charges $11 on Bandcamp. Who says punk labels are anti-capitalist?
