The American Dream Died
The American Dream Died is the eleventh studio album by the New York hardcore band Agnostic Front. It was released on April 4, 2015, through Nuclear Blast and is the first record to feature guitarist Craig Silverman. Recording took place in late 2014 in California and finished on guitarist Vinnie Stigma’s birthday.
Singer Roger Miret says the album is their most confident and passionate release, packed with anger, rage, and honesty. The lyrics are political, exploring what the American Dream means today and how constitutional rights are being chipped away—not about material things.
Guitarist Vinnie Stigma calls it a throwback, with a mix of short, fast hardcore songs, one standard-length track, and a melodic song. The album received positive notes from critics: Metal Hammer gave it 4/5, praising its aggressive, memorable anthems; Blabbermouth praised the band’s continued protest; Punknews said the lyrics can be predictable but are still likable and will please loyal fans.
