I like to think of it as the US government since 9/11.
They bring back that playful female voice from "Trashed" used before "Lazy" but this time it's not funny...this song is disturbing and powerful.
"You're next to hang...the next to hang...the next to hang...the next to hang...." The way Joey's angry old school Lagwagon vocals for this part is so amazing following the poppy yet amazing inside your head-inside your head-inside your head-inside you part that seems like it won't stop. Well, it does stop and it sounds like on the last "hang". That it's the last time we will hear Joey on a record. He's hanging up after Hang and some years of touring for it, I'm sure of it, which makes me sad, but the messages conveyed by them in all the songs I know by heart since I'm 14 (first 2 albums) and later on when I rediscovered them when they went out of that late 90's slump with Blaze. I just gotta apply what I learned from them. Hang is a big warning sign. The bees are not mentioned for nothing...look up how bees are doing...
It's crazy, the US has never been in a more dire situation...NOFX likely released their last record, BR promises us one last record but unlike True North the band's already lost 2 members, one practically founding member (Greg H) and Brooks on drums who really revitalized Bad starting from 2002 and until sometimes earlier this year...
Probably my favourite theme album since Pennywise's About Time (all songs being about time in a way or the other, some obviously, some you gotta know the lyrics for (Freebase, I Won't Have It).
