The Terror State, Anti-Flag's fifth studio album, came out on Fat Wreck Chords on October 21, 2003, and the Pittsburgh punks, never shy about their left-wing politics, aimed it squarely at the White House. Tom Morello produced it, and it was hailed as the band's most polished record yet: Justin Sane and Chris #2 both singing over Chris Head's guitar and Pat Thetic's drums, the fury intact but the edges sharpened.
The packaging did plenty of talking too. The cover, showing Sane's niece Rachel holding an automatic handgun amid rubble, stirred enough controversy that the band made an all-black alternative for big chains like Wal-Mart, and inside the cardboard sleeve sat a stencil of George W. Bush tagged as a one-term president. It hit number one on KTUH's chart in January 2004 and had sold 106,000 copies by April 2008. For Blood and Empire, their major-label debut, came next.
