Chasing the drunks on the streets, the elephants on the wall
My confusion begins to multiply more and more
Giving my everything just to survive in this fix
A blow to my head wouldn't bring me to my senses
A fifth of Jack and a whack of haze
It all becomes clear, I fear…
The people I see
The things I hear
The shit I smell
The pain I feel
Society failing, economy derailing
Wars emerging, poverty increasing
The holiest drunk is here, he has a plan to say
He saw the same things, he came a long way
Crazy fucking world, all absurd
Nothing makes sense no more, odd times for all
drink, a shot, at the bar
get, wasted, don't care anymore
True talent! I assume not quantized but I don’t care. This is one of the best technical and progressive metal albums ever.
Very carefully recorded - really fun to listen to this attention to detail.
Only difficulty I have with it is turning it off! imprint
As a musician, I really appreciate the talent, creativity, technicality and brutality that goes in to every song. I'm a big fan of the full albums as well as the instrumental version of Obliteration. Pure Gold!!!!!!!!

I keep coming back to this. Vocals are precursor to Archspire percussive staccato vocal style. Not the only band to do that but still really good.
Crisp playing & crunchy mix that doesn’t sound generic.
Reminds me of how every band & song sounded different on “…death is just the beginning volume 2” in 1992.
Technology can improve sound but can also make bands sound the same.
The same attitude & uniqueness is part of the appeal of punk and black metal. imprint
