The Hope Division is the third studio album by American hardcore punk band Stick to Your Guns, released on June 1, 2010, by Sumerian Records.
Style
The album consists of a mix of hardcore punk and melodic hardcore.[1][2] The melodic aspect is a continuation of the band's newer sound introduced on 2008's Comes from the Heart, while the traditional hardcore punk is from their older roots.[2] The album also includes spoken word samples of speeches and interviews discussing not giving up hope, a version of "This Land Is Your Land" with the lyrics rewritten to "This land is going straight to hell", and a hidden female-sung folk/country song at the end.[1]

| The NewReview |  [2] |
The NewReview's Jen Rochester gave the album a 4.5 out of 5 and said "just because Stick to your Guns sing songs of hope, don't mistake The Hope Division for a cowardly, meek album. It's energy-driven, full of heart, infectious, and intent on motivating you to fight the injustice of a selfish world".[2] Alternative Press's Phil Freeman called the album a "powerful, frequently surprising third outing."[1]
