The Home Front

The Home Front
Dall'ultimo album della band di Athens, "Brighter Than Creation's Dark" (2008).

Se That Man I Shot parla della "guerra portata a casa", questa The Home Front parla della "casa portata in guerra"...

"[...] Lei non ha più potuto dormire da quando Tony è andato in guerra [...] Non bastano il 9/11 o l'Uranio per fermare la menzogna. Lei è stata lasciata a casa, in prima linea. Tutti e due da soli."
The hours creep across the face

That Man I Shot

That Man I Shot
Dall'ultimo album dei DBT, "Brighter Than Creation's Dark".

"[...] And "That Man I Shot" is a blazing, troubling masterpiece in which a soldier home from Iraq can't tear away the memory of a man he killed in combat ("That man I shot, I didn't know him/I was just doing my job, maybe so was he"). It's a tale of the most human consequences of war that's built from equal portions of anger, confusion, and compassion, and it's hard to imagine any other band pulling off its fusion of Southern-fried street smarts and guitar-fueled thunder. It's one of several brilliant moments on Brighter Than Creation's Dark, and less than three weeks into 2008 it's hard not to escape the feeling that with this disc we may already have the best album of the year."
