Since I lost the original review I though I'd give it another
go... this album won't start a revolution (unfortunately), but thankfully
it's sperbly crafted iun songs like 'Sugar', it clear of the singer's talent
and the air of tribal beats thoughout the album. This is more apparent
in 'Ddevil' which tramples along. It'd be hard to label this band anything
let along 'Metal', although it's there is a lot of agression in this
album.
It examines this societies oppression and proclaims 'Free Thinks Are
Dangerous in 'MIND. The notes throughout the sleeves show short messages
concerning political super-powers... 'Your thoughts, and dreams are no
longer sacred, as they are exposed to a weapon known as remote viewing
and monitoring.'
A must-have album even if you are completely ignore the message it's
trying to convey... Let us instigate the revolt, down with the system!
Open you eyes, open you mouths, close your hands and make a fist.
