A palimpsest of dissent; ghosts of signatures forged atop each other. Faceless shapes, generations that remain unnamed. Inherent oppressions, born as shadows cast from greater light, our lives visible only through retrospect. Globe in gradual pirouette, loop a noose around bare necks, mansions left uninhabited and riches left unspent. Does the nobler man remain unpaid than sign to tragedy his name?
Brilliant album, I honestly can't remember the last time an album connected with me in such a way. In a world where a lot of music sounds stagnant GIVE sound fresh but with familiar elements. It evokes memories of Orange 9mm, Pearl Jam, Dead Kennedys, The Who & CIV among others. I would recommend this to anyone. james samociuk
