The Terminal Generation
Pop Culture Junkie
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
The name, the title, and the cover photo of a guy with a TV set for a head all lead me to believe that this tape must be some sort of slam against the media addiction which currently possesses much of our culture. With song titles like "Origin of Feces" (Yuck!), "She is the Devil," "Suck You Down," and "Me and My Demons," you know instantly that you need to read the lyrics. And lyrics? Well, this tape is as lyrically harsh as the sound itself. I wish I had the space to type out all the lyrics for "She is the Devil," but here's a sample: "Feminist monster, your deceit perverts moral order...She blames me for her misery. Maybe she wants to be a man like me." It gets even better, but you'll have to get the tape to hear it all. "The Origin of Feces" deals with the load of dung called evolution we have been fed by society since Darwin's book, "The Origin of Species" was published. It refers to the theory as "fabricated fairy tales" and states that "ignorant men just say that it happened," and that they "can't prove how, why, or when."
