Loud as fuck, industrial/metal of with machine-like precision A lot of this works like modern speed metal just stripped down of all the b.s. and totally focused on riffs, beats & pure spite. Such spite that’s aimed at GW Bush & his cronies. Not a tremendous change from anything they’ve done in recent years but still mostly worth listening.
(((((1))))) FCC “asshole” spoken by GW once and sung once. Otherwise a great thrasher right out of the gate.
((((((2)))))) Gallop riff mania! Guitar-wise not too different from Slayer or the Haunted but with mostly distant yet shouted vocals.
(((3))) FCC loaded – skip it. (Though it’s a funny parody of the “Mail Call” Marine.
((((4)))) FCC loaded – skip it. (Sad to say ‘cause this kick ass).
(((5))) Driving, riff with a kinda dodgy breakdown & chorus. 9/11 conspiracies samples/lyrics, (FCCs “shit” sung twice, “fucking” sung once)
(((((6)))))) A great sample from “Stanford Graduate” Condi Rice then great, straight-up, wailin’ rockin’ nitro-fuel burnin’ metal.
((7)) Meh * They fell asleep here. Running the motions with thumping techno beats & melodic silliness.
(((8))) Shitty click-beat, good guitars, pinch harmonics (WTF?), nice chorus. Overall a mixed bag.
((((9)))) Great intro by Jello (Biafra, duh) then a BIG-ASS RIFF and all together chargin’ metallic, simplistic near-perfection ‘ala Motorhead.
((((10)))) Middle-eastern/Central Asian-like vocal wails, really nice & hugely layered guitars. Sorta like Neurosis or Grotus.
