SLF's
second album serves as an excellent reminder of their
versatality and song writing. While deviating slightly
from the politically scorching songs of Inflammable
Material, SLF still manages to write a solid punk
song. For example, "Gotta Gettaway" is an
incendiary opener, while "Fly the Flag" is
nothing short of an anthem. "Nobody's Hero"
is probably the highlight of the album, with an almost
melodic essence. While Jake Burns' snarl keeps it from
being too pop-ish, it's easy to see that many of today's
pop-punk bands most likely took a hint from SLF. The
band's fascination with reggae and dub surfaces in two
songs, "Bloody Dub" and "Doesn't Make
It Alright," the latter being one of the group's
more recognizable songs. The album finishes with the
politically motivated "Tin Soldiers." While
a few songs on here don't quite compare to the band's
other efforts, Nobody's Heroes is a strong album
from a great punk band.
