Eight (or ninth) album of these guys ?  I'm not quite sure about it.  Anyway this is the first time I ever listened to material from this band, and boy was I surprised.
It bursts with energy, and I heard the album from start to finish in 1 go.  Musical influences are far and between, ranging from The Pogues, but in a rock/punk style, to pure punk, to hard rock, to metal... A very good effort, quite agreeable to listen to. Man, I'd like to see them in a live performance. Oh, and did I mention they're British, not Americans.  A band with this talent and energy probably would have a huge fan base in the USA.

70/100
