GOLD SORES ON THE BACK OF THE GRANDIOSE SCENE
WEIGHT OF THE SMILES THAT REFUSE TO BE CLEAN
THE YOUNG FERAL BEAUTIES THE’VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE
THEY HAVE SEEN THE WORLD SMILE AND THEN SPIT IN THEIR EYE
THIS IS OUR HOUSE OUR HOME
THEY CRY FROM THE DESOLATE SEA OF SO MANY PEOPLE
WITH NOTHING TO LOVE WITH NO COMPASSION TO SEE
WERE ALWAYS FALLING APART FROM THE NUCLEAR FAMILY
WHEN I WAS A CHILD I WAS TOLD TO BELIEVE
THERE WAS A MAN IN THE SKY THERE WAS A LINE
IT WENT STRAIGHT TO SUCCESS YOU WILL BE MISSED WHEN YOU DIE
WELL I GUESS THEY WON’T MISS US BECAUSE WE WON’T FOLLOW
THEY’RE FOR YOUR LOVE OF POWER
THEY’RE FOR MY HATRED OF YOUR PERSONAL GAIN

This album expanded the horizons of grind in directions I neither expected nor would have believed that I would enjoy. No other grind album ever made me feel the sweet toothache sadness of Patsy Cline, or made me wistful (for anything other than the F.E.T.O. lineup of Napalm Death). Also, those two drummers: one will blow your spine out your back and the other will explode it into marrow-mist before the rest of your carcass hits the ground. Ezra Claverie
