Wine, cigarette, back deck, against me acoustic EP. I can feel my 15 year old’s self angry balled fists swinging in the air in a shitty venue max cap. 75 ppl in St. Louis in 2005..as my 32 year old ass rots away in this fkn wicker chair
This band had such a massive inspiration on so many people, these songs especially to me once they went to a major and Tom transferred to Laura, I love the music he/she writes it's hard to have met him and felt a good connection while he had soo much going on in his head.
They still put on the best show. There’s no pandering or any bs, just amazing music. I saw them backkk in the day as well ( 2004 warped tour Baltimore) and the vibe never changed
I used to hear this all the time when i was younger had an against me album from a friend in chatsworth georgia but no one knew the bands name. I wish I would have known I couldve used more of their music then but I am very grateful to hear them again as im transitioning in life.
Holy shit, me and my punk friends in high school all used to cruise around in an old Geo Metro. I don't remember how many times we blasted this EP and sang along. I haven't heard these songs in a long time, but they're taking me right back
Been my fuckin love and inspiration since the early 2000's. I dont care who is what gender, man. Christ all mighty if I did not have this in the mid two thousands I would not be who I am today.
One of my all time favs. I played this whole album so much in highschool. The electric AM albums never clicked with me the way their acoustic stuff did. Fucking love it still.
I don't know you Carl but thank you for reposting this album. Florida has created a lot of weird shit. But this is some really great weird shit. Love this album.
+AsMy PalaceBurns holy fuck yes!!! I've tried to show people how much those words mean and they're always being stupid trendy pop-punk fucks about it. The only guy I've ever heard who made stuff just like that is Johnny Hobo And The Freight Trains. Real punk.
XelaZe Kazooie holy shit, its crazy its been long enough to where AM can have overrated songs haha. i remember when they were just getting out there and me with my leather jacket thinking i was a punk, fucking shit up.
woah holy shit I forgot this comment even existed and I meant to say Underrated songs hahaha I fucking love Armageddon I'd love to see Laura play it live now days
I've loved this album forever but never really followed the band. Anyways, I just found out the lead singer is a woman now. Wow. What a trip. I don't mean in a bad way... I just always felt he sounded so manly on this album that it is quite shocking for me to read that. I wish him the best in his transition though and hope she can finally feel comfortable in her own skin.
Are you fucking serious? Really??? Wow! Idk, that just threw me for a loop. Been listening to this non stop since the end of the world began last year. Like is was made these times. Huh... I had no idea, lol... Still gonna keep rocking out to it no different.
Couldn’t even tell you how many times me and my friends partied to this album. Put 25 friends of yours in a house, make it a pot luck. Put this album on with a little LCD Soundsystem mixed in. Only those two bands. And light that candle. Can’t believe this came out in 2001 .. that was a bit ago. Goddamnit I’m almost 50. Against me …
I've never in my life heard a band put out such a perfect piece of music and then completely 180 themselves and sell themselves out harder than AM. That said, this is one of the greatest 7" ever.
An emotional explanation of life and it's aggressive behavior of changes and desolate propaganda of humanity. Moving forward to new paths. Destiny has created itself a new future for you and I. Goodbye past. It's us ...against the world 🌎
Against me is great punk rock and although I am a straight man I cant think of anything more radical to buck the system then changeing your gender in front of a government that frowns on anything out of the norm. Be true to who you are and punk rock on.
@@lily_astral See now that would be true if Men could become Women but it is not. No amount of hormones will erase the fact that he's a man named Tom Gabel I'm not out of touch you kids have all gone insane.
I’m glad she’s able to live her life genuinely now. The newer against me is definitely a different sound, but ya can’t expect a band to have the same exact sound their entire career
Been listening since I was 12, if you honestly don't think Transgender Dysphoria Blues is good. You were never really a fan at all. Oh yah I'm 24 so I don't know real punk btw
I don't like transgender dysphorian blues, so I'm not a fan of the band? Even if I like the all the old stuff? Isn't that a bit of an overstatement pal? Chill the hell out. I don't want to listen to song all about being a woman now. Thanks but I'll keep that out of my life thanks.
+Kloule Hey man, my mistake I was talking to Casey. Her voice hasn't changed much and lyrics became a little clearer. "When it comes down to it, we're just people"
David Davidson goddamn not ONLY are you likely a small minded xenophobic/transphobic bigot (exemplified by your comment) but also a misogynist (unless by "chick" you meant "young chicken")! I'm by no means trying to be some type of 'internet police' but after reading such ignorant comments for the better part of the last hour I finally feel no choice but to speak up. No worries though, I'm sure I'm in the minority here as far as values go as you have 27 "likes" from who I'm guessing to be equally dumb sheep 🐑. So congratulations on your popularity "achievement" Just out of curiosity, are you racist as well? Nevermind I've got a pretty good idea what the answer to that is.
Michael Shields Dude, I'm trans and... okay, first of all, how the hell is David's comment xenophobic? I guess you could stretch it (a lot) to interpret it as transphobic. And 'chick' isn't inherently misogynist - I refer to myself as a chick all the damn time. All he's saying is that Laura has a deep voice. Which isn't a bad thing - I sing in a high voice, but I like her deep voice.
not everyone whose ever at fig.1-9 at full so c. for ok as made sense. headline for top part of lined paper. had as, had a holiday with their name, the name of, that name, theirs the name of the holiday, and so empty so empty. anmd all that paper at the dispo of the reach to scure, perfection, but any total , so full is all off and so not jnot and x'd up, and so empty so empty, nothing.
pity, Tom's gender / identity struggles were exactly what gave his songs and voice the power and conviction they needed to be great. After he transitioned to Laura, she no longer has the same struggle and her music has really suffered because of it. personal happiness is of course more important than making a high quality of music for those few people who appreciate it though and i support Laura in all her decisions, these are just my observations on the music its self.
+udi0Point Sit down. It was an objective observation. He/She even conceded that her happiness is more important, and that is a reasonable implication when it comes to making music in the heat of your struggles. Scurry back to the "wow this music sucks" comments, where this drama is the slightest bit acceptable.
I can get what you're saying. I dont really like much of anything from the new album. But honestly, I dont care much. As a trans woman, I watch her new interviews and I'm inspired bu how much happier she looks. I care about that more.
Liking comments just in case yall needed to hear this from front to back again ...let's be honest we all need to hear this album again ...cheers
We're still fighting, we're ALL still here
Truth
Commenting on this just in case you need it again
@@Cowpunkridesaway 🤘why thank you very much
Ever since I was a teen ❤
Chillin on the porch, drinkin a cup of coffee, smokin a cigarette, and listening to this home touching EP.

This album makes me cry still
this is one of the most important bands of the past 20 years! because we rock! it's us against them we found our reasons to sing!
This band had such a massive inspiration on so many people, these songs especially to me once they went to a major and Tom transferred to Laura, I love the music he/she writes it's hard to have met him and felt a good connection while he had soo much going on in his head.
They still put on the best show. There’s no pandering or any bs, just amazing music. I saw them backkk in the day as well ( 2004 warped tour Baltimore) and the vibe never changed
As well as recently ( both against me, and devouring mother’s) and it’s so so good
I used to hear this all the time when i was younger had an against me album from a friend in chatsworth georgia but no one knew the bands name. I wish I would have known I couldve used more of their music then but I am very grateful to hear them again as im transitioning in life.

Exact same ....
I had a geo prism. But same story
@@daniel-zh4qc m
Fuckin' right there with you.
Been my fuckin love and inspiration since the early 2000's. I dont care who is what gender, man. Christ all mighty if I did not have this in the mid two thousands I would not be who I am today.
amen 2 that
This band is very healing for me, especially since this was Laura before her transition. I know that pain.
Same here, sweetheart.
Very awesome vocals...Like this mostly from Against me
Hakuna Mablabla ❤❤❤❤❤
One of my all time favs. I played this whole album so much in highschool. The electric AM albums never clicked with me the way their acoustic stuff did. Fucking love it still.
Mahou Shoujo
Same...especially the Laura Grace solo album. I still think she's more powerful playing alone!!!
hmm didn't even know about the solo album ill have to look into that
Agreed, I feel like the soul is more ingrained in the acoustic albums.
This album was the one for me too. Brings back a lot of good memories.
goddamn it's still so fucking good, it only gets better with time. what a fucking gift this ep is
15 years enjoying this album now. So good.
Saw Against Me at Che Cafe several times back way when, this album is great.
this reminds me of seeing AM play Che cafe for 50 kids back in the day. this memory will never fade!!
These albums got me through the rough patches of battling addiction.thanks laura.
I. HOPE THEY DO THAT FOR ME TOO
This is one of the most meaningful arrangements of beautiful music.
this album is literal gold. feels like i been listening for more then a decade. still amazing each listen
Almost 2 decades . Shits great
I don't know you Carl but thank you for reposting this album. Florida has created a lot of weird shit. But this is some really great weird shit. Love this album.
this band is amazing when they do acoustic stuff, hopefully they release more acoustic music since it's just soooo sooo good when they do
best album they have made. have heard everything before and after this, just the best!!!!!
Everybody should know all of the lyrics to Reinventing Axl Rose. Words to fucking live by.
+AsMy PalaceBurns holy fuck yes!!! I've tried to show people how much those words mean and they're always being stupid trendy pop-punk fucks about it. The only guy I've ever heard who made stuff just like that is Johnny Hobo And The Freight Trains. Real punk.
+treflip666 you would probably love asking for it and days n daze
@@treflip666 yep! Love Johnny hobo. Pat the bunny/Ramshackle Glory... They all make me feel the same way.
I just cried my eyes out to this album
same
Greatest. Album. Ever.
'We did it for Don' ♥️ that's my track.
Armageddon has to be one of Against Me's most under rated songs ever
XelaZe Kazooie holy shit, its crazy its been long enough to where AM can have overrated songs haha. i remember when they were just getting out there and me with my leather jacket thinking i was a punk, fucking shit up.
woah holy shit I forgot this comment even existed and I meant to say Underrated songs hahaha I fucking love Armageddon I'd love to see Laura play it live now days
Against me! Doesn't get better then this.
We're still here!
Still early
The best band in the fucking universe! Alomost 15 years since i first discovered them and everytime it feels like the first time.
IMPECABLE....amo esta gran banda de FOLK/ROCK :D desde ARGENTINA!!
*folk/country punk :D
efraín Orrac es punk amigo
también también lo es :D la cuestión es que esta mortal esta banda :D
I will listen to them forever
My absolute favorite e.p ever
This album is killer it's on my top twenty list
Why is everything about this so perfect?
One of the best EPs ever made.
2021 still listening...
PLAYED THIS RECORD TO DEATH. AND STILL AM
One of the best album I own.
When I meet someone that knows this album front to back like I do, they immediately become my friend.
Punk rock!
I know things are different with Against me but their old stuff will always be my favorite.
Yeah I'd probably prefer the older stuff too but I personally think everything they've done has been great.
This is just what I needed ^_^
Ive been listening to tom\ laura the last 15 years. His voice, lyrics,mind, and sould spread my tears around like a sprinkler
*her
Before my best friend turned into everything he hates he showed me against me! Reminds me of the person he used to be
I LOVE this album... le happy sigh
love the music and apreachiate anyone who can make it
beautiful.
this is great
Pat The Bunny is what you need!

me first and the gimme gimmes led me here
i love this !
favorite album to listen too when blastedd on xanax and weed, and alcohol.
I've never in my life heard a band put out such a perfect piece of music and then completely 180 themselves and sell themselves out harder than AM.
That said, this is one of the greatest 7" ever.
glad someone said it
perfection.
i have a joint rolled in front of me, but this album makes me want to smoke cigarettes instead
harte liebe. 💕💕💕
Why are they so good?
NOSTALGIA
2020 baby fuck yeah!
An emotional explanation of life and it's aggressive behavior of changes and desolate propaganda of humanity. Moving forward to new paths. Destiny has created itself a new future for you and I. Goodbye past. It's us ...against the world 🌎
Best
yes
Where has this band been all my life?
It is pretty much all down hill after this until their lead singer/guitarist got her sex change. Now it's kind of like this again.
Yep, they're good again - for now - but you might not find them as easily relate-able as their pre-New Wave work. Varies per person. :)
He knows that he was asking about their new album....
Timelordwinterandsun Work on your reading comprehension, man.
MostlyMilesHigh I wasn't talking to you man so learn how to mind your own business....
Fuck i love this
yeah they still are the shiznt gotta love Tom no matter what
can't use her name tho huh?
+udi0Point Laura Jane grace
Back when AM! was amazing.
still amazing
Still and will always be amazing
Against me is great punk rock and although I am a straight man I cant think of anything more radical to buck the system then changeing your gender in front of a government that frowns on anything out of the norm. Be true to who you are and punk rock on.
You're a god send Laura
Fucking love this band I hope she keeps it going.
Vallim Bryerre wait..tom be a girl tho??
Pika pika.
Bro they reinvented Axel Rose🌹💀
Anyone 2024?
Perfect Scummer album.
Now watch me burn another.
Wow. I remember when this came out and US political punks were stirred to do more. Totalitarianism is still here.
It's even more relevant now! Sounds like it was written just for these times.
Apparently 20 very stupid people listened to this album. Thumbs down for what?! I'm not even gonna bother reading the comments...
crildren of poseidon
Tom Gabel before his sanity left him. Saw AM at Pop's in East Saint years ago, hell of a show.
You're outta touch man. This is Laura Jane Grace before she found her sanity. If you fuck with her put some goddamn respect on her name.
@@lily_astral See now that would be true if Men could become Women but it is not. No amount of hormones will erase the fact that he's a man named Tom Gabel I'm not out of touch you kids have all gone insane.
