...Cold War," Lucas writes, "while having barely noticed that it has started. Mr. Putin and his Kremlin allies have seized power in Russia, cast a dark shadow over the eastern half of the continent, and established formidable bridgeheads in the main Western countries. And the willingness to resist looks alarmingly feeble...
...expensive than war, but it costs money to empower people. When you empower people you promote peace. Conflict resolution is important. The environment is very, very important so we need to stop the corporate control of our foreign and domestic policy.

...swaying between being more heavily influenced by one or the other throughout the album. Although the result is not always pure beauty (the low-fi, grating instrumental opening of the track “In the Morning” is a bit headache-inducing), one can’t resist jumping up and dancing. The melodies are not particularly complex, but drummer Chris Ellul and bassist Spencer Page have a solid feel for the blues beat. The Heavy draws liberally from tradition, and they have the musical chops, soul, and energy to pull it off. They poke fun at their...
