The Empire Strikes First

13th studio album by the American punk rock band. The album is heavily influenced by the then-current Iraq War (most notably in the songs 'Atheist Peace', 'Let Them Eat War' and the title track) and also has some nods to George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (the song title 'Boot Stamping on a Human Face Forever' as well as the line 'you deserve Two Minute Hate' in the title track are direct references to the book), the latter most likely inspired by the Patriot Act.
