Musically, I don't like it very much. It's more of the same slow, plodding stuff that was extremely exposed on Crucible of Man. Also, the repetitive choruses that are reminiscent of newer Iced Earth are there as well (I miss the choruses of old...these are just, different and I can't put my finger on what it is). Even when the guitars seem to kick in some low rumble and some good distortion, the riffs come off boring and uninspired. His vocals are not terrible, and they do not even really contribute to why I think this is musically weak. The melodies kind of suck, yes, and the music just comes off as wiffle ball when I'd rather get baseball. The lyrics, while simple, do not come off as uninspired...but...therein lies my biggest problem with this project.
And, of course, I do not agree with the message...at all. The conspiracy notions, the anti-Obama message, the non-hidden libertarian tones, this idea that all of a sudden with a party change America is marching toward its destruction, and this sense of "purpose" that somehow the MESSAGE needs to get out...fuck this. If you go to the website, it's even worse. Links to books by Ron Paul and Glenn Beck. Links to documentaries about how America is turning into a fascist country. Links to documentaries that say global warming is a hoax, anti-globalization propaganda, etc. etc. etc., the idea that you have to be super proud to be an American and only then are you a true patriot.

uke: I'm sorry, it's all too much for me. At least I know that there's no
religious backing behind all this shit, or I'd be even more turned off...seriously. I'm not saying it's all right wing stuff, but it's too much stuff that just is not part of the way I think or feel.
Jon, I still love your body of work, man. But please please please remember how to fucking
thrash and leave all this shit behind....soon.
