Singer Mike McColgan said of the album "The dumbing down of America is a reason to write songs in 2018. The theme is wake the fuck up and the working class needs to unite across all colors, creeds, nationalities, genders and realize that we are being pitted against each other by snake oil salesmen and autocrats. From freedom of speech (“Stand for Something or Die for Nothing") to living The American Dream ("Working Class Heroes") to getting back on track ("The Comeback Zone") – Stand for Something or Die for Nothing raises political awareness and injects optimism into those who have doubts about their future and the current administration[2]
