On Land of the Free?--a record inspired by the worldwide protests against the World Trade Organization--L.A. skatecore veterans Pennywise claim to have written "a soundtrack for political activists all over the world." That this, their seventh album, is one of their finest to date is not due to any inspired political invective. The anthemic barrage of the opening "Time Marches On" sets the tone for an album whose music impacts like a police baton charge. Pennywise work so well as a complete band, it's often nothing short of breathtaking; just listen to the way Randy Bradbury's deft bass lines cleverly weave around the chugging juggernaut riffage dealt out by guitarist Fletcher Dragg on the towering holler-along "F**k Authority." The politics might not be expressed with an eloquence as revolutionary as Pennywise clearly think, but forget about that. Land of the Free? is a reminder of the sheer seismic power of punk rock. --Louis Pattison
Album Description
In their seventh studio release Land Of The Free, Pennywise have turned their attention toward the issues of global politics, drawing inspiration from the worldwide WTO protests and the recent United States Presidential elections as fuel for their anti-establishment position. 10 tracks. 2001 release.

This is probably the greatest band that ever played. They continue to come up with unique riffs and good bass lines. A little too Democrat, but I like the My God.

if you ask me, i would say that this album is pennywise at the op of their game. i mean, if jason were present, they may have been a little better, but the cards werent played that way and we are left with a very excellent work from pennywise. to me, this is the start of the present sound that pennywise used on following albums from the ashes and the fuse...some of their best at that! this album also shows that they are clearly over the loss of jason thirsk. i mean, where straight ahead was a mere step in the right direction, this album solidifies it. i would say the only pre-straight ahead album that is as good as this one is their other masterpiece, "about time."
so pennywise has changed their sound...it was clearly for the better as seen in the two following albums.
dont listen to the folks who say all pennywise albums sound the same...and full circle is far from their best...if you want a good intro to pennywise, get this or about time.

Ive only heard one other pennywise cd and it seemed a lot like this one except not as good. This cd is very politically motivated and fun to listen to. Some of their songs seem to be highly repetitive such as enemy and my god. The best song on here in my opinion is the world. f**k authority, something wrong with me, and its up to you are really good too. A lot of what is on this cd is contemporary history and in a couple of decades will earn a couple of paragraphs in all our childrens history books making this a small peice of american history.

"Land of the Free?" is your typical hardcore Pennywise album.
This means that A: It's fast.
B: It's about the government and fate.
C: It's going to be awesome.
You either love Pennywise, or you don't. There's no in between. There's no "Ahh, they're okay..." You either get their CD, go see them live, and beat up some punk ass kids, or you get their CD, tape it back up, and give it to the friend that you hang with only because he has a car for a birthday present. I'm the one who goes and beats up fat teenagers. The ones that had their parents take them to the show, have on a Pennywise shirt, have a Pennywise wallet, and have a bag of Pennywise posters, patches and stickers. Pennywise has always been a favorite band of mine. From their self titled, to "Up from the Ashes". This album is a landmark for Pennywise, but I think every CD they release is a landmark in and of itself. "Unknown Road", "About Time", and "Full Cirlce" being the 3 I define as their classics.
This album is a great album and should be considered by all punk fans and owned by any Pennywise fan.
