I find it very easy to listen to (being able to understand what is said is important to me unless its a foreign band)  and I rank it up as high as a few of the White Skull songs I have, and of course Devo and Doctor Steel (I have eccentric taste).  Here is a link to it on youtube.   I guess they’re up for a free thing in Denver tomorrow (today actually since it’s 1am)  and will be playing at the library.  I do appreciate what they have to say at their site and their upcoming projects to help the community and education.  Anyways, the song flows along quite nicely, and it is a standout to me when compared to their other songs.  I have no way of exactly describing the style, but if they do more like it… I’ll listen.

The words and the meanings are quite clear, and I think more folk should take a listen to the song.  Anyways, this is probably my only song review until Devo comes out with a new song.  Or another very special song comes along that I like.  As for Dr. Steel’s music… it’s all just awesome.
