Afraid to see beyond the screen
anything to escape what lies ahead of me
Living is pain or so it seems
But I must face my own reality
Take me away
Hold me close and tell me it’s okay
Right now I’d believe anything you say
‘Cause my mind is on display
I’ve never felt jaded before
My feet have always stayed safely upon the shore
Untie the ropes I’ll come aboard
These foundations have cracks
And I know they’ll stay ignored
I’d rather sink than have the walls cave in on me
Take me away
Hold me close and tell me it’s okay
Right now I’d believe any word you say
‘Cause my mind is on display
This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
