Today remains the age of the capitalists. It is their enduring observance to a single principle that has afforded them so glorious a reign: Give the People What They Want. They have established a well-oiled system, elegantly rigged to benefit the common man by bringing him endless servings of whatever he and his family want. As societies slowly fix one of their most intractable problems, failed public education, I predict that they will grudgingly settle on the only credible solution—let the capitalists have...

These tracks and others suffer from the album’s extremely poor production. Almost every song sounds flat, with the drumming particularly marginalized. Only “The Heartbreak Rides” offers any kind...
