Crime in Stereo didn’t content themselves with attacking ex-girlfriends or Bush when writing this album. The Troubled Stateside is a picture of personal and national failure, pettiness and hypocrisy and four years on it still retains the power to disturb where shallower albums have already lost their veneer of true anger. A genuinely political post-hardcore album has become something of a rarity and for that reason alone The Troubled Stateside is worth a listen but musically and lyrically this album is beautifully crafted to drive home its message.

Crime in Stereo have accomplished this with The Troubled Stateside, their Nitro debut, third release in less than a year and second full-length overall. This rush of material hasn't seemed to thin the band out too much, but in truly developing a unique identity - progressive melodic hardcore, really - with Stateside, they offer an album that's musically diverse but a bit disjointed and overall fairly uneven. There are some rather fantastic songs on The Troubled Stateside, but it's an album that's really kept afloat for its duration by the songwriting, which are some of the most well-written personal expressions and poignant observations made in some time for its genre. Crime in Stereo has definitively matured and found their niche; now they simply need to take this ambition to write songs that'll connect each other not just in the thematic sense, but in the musical one as well. Bicycles for Afghanistan.

This is a great hardcore punk, emo album - like Fugazi with just enough of the Get Up Kids to bring out the best of both genres. Recommended - and their 2007 release Is Dead is on my short list.
