The Acoustic EP

Another Against Me! review is due. This time it's the Acoustic EP, released in 2001. It's 6 tracks (4 on the vinyl) of only Tom's acoustic and Dustin Fridkin on the bass. Some of the songs were later re-recorded for Reinventing Axl Rose but are solely acoustic on here.

If there's one thing Against Me! can do, it's acoustic tracks. For every acoustic song, Tom still manages to pour the same amount of heart, soul, and energy into them as he does for electric tracks. These stripped down versions are powerful and heartfelt, with each song being just as good as the previous. All six songs are a great insight of what Against Me! started as, with topics from love to politics to just life in general. Being both personal and political, Tom's songs are able to really find a spot in the heart of everyone. Even fans of country are in for a treat with "Pints of Guinness Make You Strong".

Overall, the EP itself encompasses everything Against Me! do; make music, play music, and love music. It's a great album and rocks just as hard as any other release by Against Me!, or any other band in general. Seriously, this EP is amazing.

10/10

Five whole dollars. That's it. All you pay for perfection.
