All I can do is sigh heavily and wonder if the obnoxious guitars can ever
end. I truely enjoy this band immensely, but the when you compare the
original release of most of this material on Robot Records to the newer
mixes on this album, the guitar level has increased tenfold. In fact if
you didn't know better you might confuse Acumen with the likes of Ministry
which I know they abhor being compared too. The only relative advantage
this album provides over its predecessor is that if you plan on seeing
Acumen live, they sound exactly the same on the album as they do performing
in concert. Usually guitars levels increase at a show however they can't
increase any more than the already overbearance they provide here. All I
can say is that I'm terribly disappointed that the guitars are so present
in the music mix and I hope the band either wants it this way to gather
a fan base.
Gun-Lover: Lyrics
i don't fucking care about the state of the nation about the state of your
mind about the states and capitalism (rhythm scism) who cares about the
state of your race who cares about the waste of your time in fact its
just another pinprick! i don't fucking care about the sick in the streets
about the sick in your mind about the excuses for the sickness (in this
furnace) burn about the city streets and burn about the their sleepy beds
teach them about the ways of the crazy poets turn around and buy yourself
a gun yes i said by yourself alone let no see and no one feel the hate
you love to show me.
