'99:a Vox Pop
aka Music To Watch The World Burn To
“Ususally people are pretty much in agreement with what I’m saying.” -BBF!!!
It was before 9/11. Before COVID. Before the Trump Years when America split into two. Somehow GY!BE felt what was coming. Knew what was in store. How else to explain the symphonic dystopian masterpiece of an EP that is Slow Riot For New Zerø Kanada. It’s mournful. Full of grief. Its despondent weight numbly sinking into a pool of water. Gazing up and witnessing the fracturing of something big. The American Dream sinking into its depths. But first, it burns. Anti-hero man from the streets Blaze Baily gleefully cheering the flames on as he spits out “Things are just gonna get worse and keep on getting worse." And brother, how I wish I could disagree. SRFNZK picked up on the splintering of trust in our society. In one another. That the bond of being fellow citizens, fellow humans was slipping away. We’re all on our own now. And I honestly don’t know how we find the way to see things as one again. But I do know one thing. GS!BE with our man on the street BBF!!! comes the closest to articulating how I feel right now.
The Verdict. One of those albums that changes what you think is even possible for rock music. It’s massive and sweeping and pulls you along on its darkened current of melodious mournful misery. If there’s better music for watching the world slowly burn to I don’t know it.
And guess what! That poem by “Blaze Baily” is actually the lyrics from a pretty decent Iron Maiden single "Virus" from the beginnings of the Blaze Bayley era. And it's pretty good!
So were GY!BE just trolling us?! Does it matter? Probably not. Not to me. Not to my feelings. SRFNZK & BBF!!! hits a nerve any way you slice it.
