I've been really psyched to hear this for a while so when I finally got a chance to pick this up I jumped at the chance.  On We Come In Peace D.O.A go full steam ahead and deliver a diverse set of audio battle cries that use their hardcore punk roots as a jumping off point.  Kicking off with high energy rockers, the listener is taken on a journey that incorporates folk, ska, melodic rock, and reggae into the mix.  Song wise, they take on everything from revenge fantasies, class inequality, war, the Occupy movement, Spaghetti western leaning folk tales, and offers to lost souls within the musical road which manages to mix the band's penchant for political commentary with touches of sick humor.  High energy and well written, the music here shows the band moving from strength to strength with a broad aural vision and lots of passion.  There is a mix of anger and hope here that makes this album what looks likely to be a fitting epitaph for them with Joe Keithley's run for office in British Columbia.  If you haven't heard this album yet please do so.  (BOONE)
