Call to Arms (Sick of It All album)

Call to Arms is the fifth full-length studio album from American hardcore punk band Sick of It All. It was the band's first full-length release on Fat Wreck Chords and follows the 1998 EP, Potential for a Fall.

Critical reception

The A.V. Club called the album "packed with all the sturm und drang of its previous releases, bearing the hallmarks of virtually all good hardcore: breakneck speed, heavy guitar riffs, and shouting that would be unintelligible were it not for the lyric sheet." CMJ New Music Report wrote that the songs "come from the gut — anthems in the truest sense, flexing championship muscles that have been pumped up by working class bravado and street punk pride." July of Punknews stated “15 fast, furious, and angry anthems that only SOIA can pump out with such power.” Adding “I'm not going to call it a perfect album..1 or 2 songs lack their usual rawness, but then others take you straight back to their very first release.
