Album Review

The Unseen

State Of Discontent (05.10.2005)

Published

on

As with almost every Punk band, a theme of anti-American government is blatantly displayed on the cover of State of Discontent. A blindfolded eagle which appears to be falling from the sky with bullets displayed on a red background. Awesome! Love the artwork! And I love this album!

The 14 tracks we’re blasting as I did the dishes in my west-end apartment. Yeah, I wanted to smash the plates but that would’ve been a bad idea. The album is just straight up Punk Rock and will appeal to even the most narrow-minded pop-punk lovers and emo kids, I’m sure of it. Mark Unseen’s vocals are killer and the disc is packed with catchy riffs and a wicked cover of the classic “Paint It Black” by none other then the Rolling Stones. Seriously, this is a great cover, and takes the original anti-war theme which is more then applicable today. Though they did cut out a few lines it’s still a wicked track.

There’s no mystery as to what the lyrics consist of, it’s a Punk band; young, rebellious and angry. I definitely recommend this album for any fan of Punk and all its sub-genres. Check it out and you won’t regret it; you’ll be cranking your speakers and setting your music player of choice to repeat.  [ END ]
