    Can't stand these guys, their entire catalog is like a band doing an awful Cake impression using Rise Againsts (hey hey imagine that) "Hero of War" as the only source of lyrical inspiration. It's beyond me how these guys are so popular.

    Though Rise Against themselves are fucking superb and I do like Tims parts on this.

    Disagreed. John McCrea is not a rapper. Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit can straight up FLOW.

    This song got me into these guys about a month ago. They have some very good songs.

    They're more like Cake instrumentally, "Handlesbars" specifically. Not just because of the horns, the entire song sounds like a Cake tribute. Haven't listened to this album, but most of Fight With Tools and what little I heard from the EP sounded like that to me.

    And despite the name, the Flobots have no sense of flow.

    I think they are pretty good. A little political for my taste but I deal

    Love them. Planning on seeing them in May. And as a fan of Cake and Flobots, I really don't see how they sound anything alike.
