Labels: In At the Deep End
Review by: Tony Era
Now this is how to package and release a CD! AMAZING cover art, inlay art, recommended books to read, essays on weapons statistics, the Liverpool dockers strikes and all the lyrics are insightful and thought provoking, if a little unsubtle. One song repeats “Nike has got me but I won’t go, Nike has got me and bought my soul”, although a very disturbing and interesting topic, doesn’t strike me as being the best way to shout about it or educate people.
The music is as you’d expect with (is it 7?) Hardcore nuts in a band, two vocalists one screaming, one growling (the opposites ends of hell?!), and every other instrument played as fast as it can possibly be whilst still quite interesting with time changes and shit like that.
I listened to this a few times and it’s quite good for scaring people when they ask what music I like, personally though the ideas and packaging overshadowed the music. Nice and pissed off music that actually says something and cares. Best quote ever “I had a friend who became an advertiser, they are no longer a friend of mine.” Awesome.
