lyrics
Unhuman Response
We are born into this
world without the fear of mankind
walking through the Corridors
avoiding all the cobwebs
are we all corrupted by the
monsters in our closets
are the children really screaming
to get your attention
Unhuman response
if you turn your back on pain
you cannot see the carnage
they're just here to watch you hurt
the monsters will reward you
all the time you've spent in fear
is coming back to haunt you
tortured souls will rip you up
and tear the meat from your bones
Unhuman response
Honouring the life they gave us
Honouring forgiveness
is this world fit for humans
is this world inhumane
FLA is a SONIC ELECTRONIC BULLDOZER. That's about the most concise way I can describe how this album feels to me.
'Alone' is hands down my top pick here, although I do find 'Rubber Tube Gag' sticking in my brain a lot, too.
My one criticism (constructive of course) is that sometimes the lyrics feel underinspired, but it's not a big issue in the grander context of this otherwise excellent album. This one definitely grows on you, too. Good stuff, and solidly recommended.
Long live FLA! Benjamin Crockett
