The Interrupters are back with their new full length album, number four in their career which became rather quickly stellar and shiny thanks to Tim Armstrong of Rancid, who kind of took this band under his wind and produced the records, wrote songs and provided guest appearances on their albums. I must admit that I am a fan of this band, their first two albums are legendary, also last one had some really good gems on it, but was not great like the first two. The Interrupters play a mixture of ska and punk rock with lots of melody, even being pop band disguised in punk rock wrapping as far as I am concerned. These new fourteen songs provide similar formula, melodies, great harmonies and memorable choruses, like for example excellent first single In The Mirror which is my personal favorite on this record. There are some excursions into pure reggae waters like with Kiss The Ground. Lyrics are personal and I think this album is somehow more serious lyrics wise, dealing with personal battles, rising from defeat, inspiration, lust for life and positivity. Amee Interrupter is a superb vocalist and her voice is for sure one of the best I have ever listened in punk rock scene. There are couple of melancholic moments on this one kinda making me sad, but in all this album is what you would expect from this band. Other songs that I must mention are excellent upbeat Jailbird, also Let ´Em Go and Love Never Dies. Good album number four.
9/10
