This album tells me so many times that it’ll be alright, everything is just fine, and that it’ll be ok that I have to believe that it won’t be any of those things. The lie begins with the opening track, People Say, where a fucking groovy guitar riff promising to lift my tired spirits greets me. What follows musically is exactly that. Lyrically, People Say tells a different story. The soldiers may say that everything will be ok because though they may not survive the war, they’ve lived through the night. They have won the war and may have lost a million men, but they’ve got a million more. I can’t tell if this is psychotically optimistic or the most cynical of satire.
What follows is maybe my favorite track, Work All Day, and definitely the most honest. The never changing beat is reminiscent of Working on a Coal Mine, or Dragging the Line. The lead guitar is often staccato hitting the notes and cutting them off like a machine press. This song was made for a depressing montage centered around a day, or rather a soul-crushing lifetime, in the greyest most depressing factory or florescent lit office you’ve ever seen. The Sun later shows me exactly what I like about the album’s vocals and melodies. It gives me exactly what I want exactly when I want it. The steel pick strumming behind the howl, “where, where are we now” refrain in the second verse screams Where is My Mind that is much more natural than derivative.
Dogs and Guns, Do You, and Everyone is Golden is my favorite stretch of the album. Dogs and Guns plays like an homage to Tom Petty, it was hard for me not to sing the opening of Mary Jane’s Last Dance every time I hear it. Do You has hints of old grunge peaking through the fuzzed up guitars kicking in heavy in the chorus, knocking the shit out of those three chords. The outro of Do You, leading into the intro of Everyone is Golden is Beatles-esque. That Beatles sounds continues throughout Everyone is Golden through the lead guitar and violins. It’s really a beautiful sound that is kept mostly in the background of the song.
I hate Let You Down. I don’t hate the song, I hate the lyrics… no I hate the man who wrote them, or the character that sings them. Whoever, or whatever is behind it, I fucking hate it. “Just go, please don’t go, ‘cause I’ll only let you down.” Fuck you. I’ll Let You Down laments the fact that the singer cannot have his cake and eat it too. He cuts loose his lover because he will let her down, but wait, he doesn’t want her to go. It’s defeatist in the least sympathetic way, a man who knows he isn’t good enough who instead of becoming worthy, quits and whines about it. It throws an indelible taint over the entire perspective of the album.
Mornings. Mornings go best with the sunrise, but a sunrise that he’ll never see again, but he’s gonna be just fine. Somehow I doubt that he’ll be just fine, but goddamn do I love his voice on this track.
Satanic Satanists is a fantastic album even if it’s one I can’t relate to personally or emotionally. The music and vocals are tight and boppy and sad and filled with contradiction and I enjoy the shit out of it. I do pity the voice of this album. He’s going to live a sad life and die alone because he refuses to take control of his life… at least the parts he can control.
