Fearless in both ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ its musical experimentation and voicing a stance on the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ issues of our times, the new album, Weapon, is no ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ exception. ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ This stunning new album stands as a commentary on that ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ which it is named after, the Weapon, or more ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ specifically, to the concurrent glorification of the gun ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ culture and simultaneous horror at the devastation the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ gun can cause. Given this view, the pop undertones of ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ the albums opening ∩┐╜wornin∩┐╜ and the compelling ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ counterpoint of the vocals and lyrics seem to reflect ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ our mass media homogenization of an instrument of death ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ into an entertainment centerpiece. ∩┐╜illisiT" could ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ then be focusing on the authoritarian control applied to ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ us under the guise of protecting us from the criminal ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ element. Though possibly it is from the view of the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ average citizen, arming themselves against the threat of ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ each other. The more it is analyzed, the more it could ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ be pondered on varying levels. Perhaps the classic ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ Skinny Puppy sounds evident in the song ∩┐╜solvent∩┐╜ ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ are a nod to not only the past, but to a bleak Orwellian ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ future, cycle of the weapon leads only to power in the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ hands of those who have no fear of using it. Are we ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ facing a 1984 dystopia filtered through a Kafkaesque ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ lens? A world where the illusion of power given to the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ private citizen afforded ownership of a weapon distracts ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ them from the Big Brother drones that watch overhead? ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ Parallels could certainly be drawn from our own society ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ to a track like ∩┐╜tsudanama∩┐╜, where the ever building ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ menace of the mechanized rhythms crashes over the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ listener in waves as the vocals at times seem to take ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ the tone of the voice of protest, standing against the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ inevitable tide of the dystopian path of progress. Then ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ does ∩┐╜plasiCage∩┐╜ implore the listener to take up the ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ fight against a gun worship culture and the spiraling ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ towards oligarchy? Or are the mournful tones ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ∩┐╜terminal∩┐╜ a funeral dirge for our society? ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ Could the weapon be the gun, or the one who wields it? ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ Is it in creating an arms race among the populace, or ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ does it lie in the resulting authoritarian control given ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ to those who are charged with protecting us from ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ourselves? Is it the power to profit from the cycle? Is ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ it the singular act of speaking against the conditioning ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ of our thoughts and actions? ▒▒▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ▒▒▒██ ███▒░ ░▒▒█▌ ██▒▒░ █▒░██ ███▒▒▒▄ ▄▒▒▒░██ ███▒▒▒▒▒▒█▒░░█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█████▒▒▒▒▒░▒▒██ █████▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█▒▒░█████████████████▄▄▄▄ █████████████████▒▒░▒░░▒▒█████ ██████▒▒░▒░▒█████▒█▒▒▒▒██████████████▄ ▀████████▒▒▒▒▒▒█████████████ ▀▀▀███████████████████▒▒▒▒▒██▒▒▒██████▄ ▀██▒▒██████▒█████████▀▀▀ ▀▀▀████████████████████▒▒▒▒█████▄ ████████████▀ ▀▀████████████████▒▒▒█████ ██████▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄███████████████████▒▒████░░ ▄██████████▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █████████████████████████████▒▒▒▒█████▒ ▄██████████████████████ ██████████████████████▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒███████░▀ ▄█▒▒██████████████████████ ███▒▒█▒█▒▒▒██████████████████████████░ █████▒▒▒▒███████▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒████ ██▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█▒▒▒█▒██████████████▀ ▄████████████▒▒▒█▒▒█▒▒░▒░░▒▒███ ██▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░▒▒▒▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀████░█▒▒▒▒▒▒███ ███▒▒▒░▀ ▀▒▒░▒██▌ ▐██▒▒▒░ ▀▒▒██▌ ██▒▒▒▀ Tracklist: ▒░▒██ ▐█▒▒▒ ▒▒▒██ ███▒░ 1.
