An album that definitely stands out from the average of today’s productions, and perhaps the group’s most successful album so far. Forget the whiny choruses in Caliban’s style because there is no such episode in any song on the album.

"The God Delusion is NOT a book about God, in the most simple and literal sense of the term; it is a book that is rather about criticizing certain institutional and obscurantist systems, fundamentalism, the anchoring to certain traditions and superstitions." Claiming the nonexistence of something based precisely on the speculations that man has made about it is quite another, and above all, it is absolutely unscientific.

The reviewer suggests the book becomes forgettable over time and recommends alternative readings for a deeper critique of religion. Explore this provocative review of The God Delusion and decide if Dawkins' critique challenges your views on religion.
The absolute star of the album is therefore the big brother on guitar, who reprises 'No.4' ideas while reviving grunge with a capital G in 'Peacot'. 'First Kiss On Mars' should be listened to just for Scott Weiland's wonderful interpretation.
