After their last album was a bit disappointing, Red, White And Screwed finds M.O.D. sounding better than ever. Milano and company deliver angry crossover thrash that's raw and sleazy, and also really catchy. The lyrics are sometimes personal and sometimes political. Milano isn't afraid to delve into controversial topics, and his views on immigration in "Jose Can You See" is certain to draw criticism. And although there are still some humorous lyrics, the tone of this album is far more serious than some of M.O.D.'s previous albums.
Agree or disagree with their views, at least Milano and M.O.D. take a stand, which in this era of focus groups, polls and politicians afraid to express a position on an issue, is refreshing. M.O.D. has embraced their roots for Red, White And Screwed, and it was definitely the right direction to go.
