Pennywise "Straight Ahead"

This 1999 fifth studio album took five months to complete & was called their most diverse to date. The band's stated goal was to create an album that would satisfy their long-time fans as well as take chances with different material, using social and political issues for inspiration. Songs like "My Own Country" explores the individual desire for autonomy, "Might Be a Dream" and "Still Can Be Great" seek to inspire courage and determination, while pointing out the flaws within our culture.
