I rember when I 1st heard mall monarchy...the video blazed on the screen on British terrestial (non cable or sattelite for americans)TV. That was it I was hooked ..I HAD to get this album. Luckily I got the album, I got the LTD edition 2cd version. Buy this album...this is just a great band. The viseral punk spews out. Live on 1992...

His wife's in
Her nightdress
As ethan
Grabs his chest

You were the brightest of them all
When you designed the shopping mall
That keeps us clothed and entertained
From baltimore to stephen's green

Born hungry
Got wounded
Iwo sima
In fourty five

You were the brightest of them all
When you designed the shopping mall
That keeps us clothed and entertained
From baltimore to golders green

And so we called you here today
To send our monarchy on his way
Where history and bunk are blessed
And with the edsel laid to rest

In a black car
White roses
And the tombstones
They're all the same

And so we called you here today
To send our monarchy on his way
Where history and bunk are blessed
And with the edsel laid to rest

Upon first listening this album i thought it was good, but not great. This changed about the second time i listened through it when i realized that it was brilliant. What can i say, originality in every instrument, passion aplenty, and those kind of grinding vocals that made Nirvana reasonably unique. In fact thats the band i'd be most likely to compare em to. It is rawk, hard rock, alternative, whatever. It just sounds great to me. Their other album "The future is medium" highlights their evolution as a band with some really cool tracks. Its not the same exactly, but still maintains the compulsion feel, and damn it, I LOVE IT!
