Call to Arms is the fifth full-length studio album from American hardcore punk band Sick of It All.[5] 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."[5] 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."[6]
