Today it's raining. No, it's not the crooked government but the lightning and thunder that remind me of this album.
The surges of energy that shoot straight down from the sky to the earth, illuminating us even in the dead of night, waking us from sleep. This album is like a lightning bolt, it's six vowels with hard and bad sounds X T M N T R that seem to want to wake us from sleep and stillness.
Primal Scream climb onto a panzer, declare war on swastika-eyed tyrants, and start firing metallic sounds, noise, and distortions.
Simply amazing.
Enjoy it.
XTRMNTR is a true riot-record, as the MC5 would have sounded today.
Swastika Eyes is a frontal assault against the order imposed by the police and the state and against U.S. national-capitalist imperialism.
"Mani’s bass begins to wake up my still-asleep neurons and maybe even that 80% of my brain I’ll never use gets a little jolt."
"...I’m emotionally justified to elbow violently anyone in front of me, to stomp on feet, curse, and shove the annoying kid who keeps staring at me nonstop."
