A decade ago, I held up a sign at a demonstration comparing going to school to going to prison. I bring this up for context: how is someone like me put in the unenviable position of having to defend our most basic institutions against genuinely evil men who would seek to burn everything that does any good? When I envisioned revolution I imagined it would be fueled by the righteous anger of the oppressed, not the nihilistic cynicism of the rich. They have taken everything else from us so then why not steal our rage?
Wow. I did not expect violin and cello from a crust band.

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
