5.0 out of 5 stars
from one musician to another, March 28, 2002
This review is from: Mono (Audio CD)
I will never forget that one moment in time when I first heard >Every Generation<. As a Gen-X'er myself growing up with the widespread scare of the AIDS epidemic, being part of a wasteful society, high stress and pressure from trying to exceed our parents lifestyles, credit card debt and the exponential growth of the internet worldwide, this song hit close to home. The haunting melodies, lingering drum beats, driving bass lines are pushed aside as the singer warns us about what lies ahead. As a musician myself, this is one of those bands that stops and make me wonder why I make music at all. Because these guys are at a level I could never reach. Maybe this should be every "generations" theme song. My parents had anti-Vietnam hippie music and their parents had pre-World War 2 jazz, etc. What do we and the generations behind us have? Hope or Sadness?

5.0 out of 5 stars
put it on continuous play!, December 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Mono (Audio CD)
ever since i heard "every generation got its own disease" years ago on the radio, i was hooked... i loved the song then, and i still love it now. i thought that perhaps the reason that Fury didn't become mainstream was because the rest of the album was bad... but i heard it this summer and i couldn't have been more wrong. short of cds, i borrowed "mono" from a german friend and listened to it for a week straight, and still didn't get sick of it! it's a great album, with several soulful songs that i still find myself humming months later. i'm still puzzled by the fact that few people have heard of Fury in the Slaughterhouse.

One of Fury's better albums..., October 15, 1998
This review is from: Mono (Audio CD)
Although the album isn't quite as great as "Brilliant Thieves," it does have a very strong impact, a definitive sense of style and grace. Fury is one of the best bands that hasn't been discovered by the mainstream. Do your self a favor. Buy a fury album or two. Songs on Mono that are spectacular: "Every Generation Got Its own Disease," "radio orchid" and, if this is the import version, "Haunted Head & Heart."
