so far I've only heard this and the incredible 10 minute 'Frankie Teardrop'
but i can easily understand why this duo are considered punk pioneers.
They don't need to discuss politics, theyre focus isn't nearly so narrow. just the quality of the songs is indictment enough of a rotting system.
Intense doesn't begin to describe this music, it conjures up what it must've actually feel like to be stuck in some squalid urban hellhole, the walls closing in around you with a needle stuck in your arms & no paycheck.
The decidecly simple lyrics aren't even a weakness as fas as i can tell; with the pulsing electronics in the background, swelling and swelling to a fever pitch while Vega screeches and hollers, barely containing himself from bursting at the seams, the simple declarations like 'america america/is killing its youth' take on a definitive quality, summing up an age of political turmoil & culture shock.
Wow.
Nightmare music
ive realy heard material so unremittingly dark and troubling.
We need more of it these days.
