Titus
Andronicus: The Monitor |
|
|
|
Genre: Punk A concept album about a young
man’s journey into manhood, the state of the nation, the group’s love of
Bruce Springsteen, AND the Civil War? You can be forgiven for wishing they’d
made up their minds and narrowed it down a bit, but the amazing thing is,
most of the time, the record works. Certainly there’s nothing like it in the
annals of 21st century punk-and-roll, and little like it in the
whole history of the music. Feature for trivia buffs: the songs are linked by
bits of famous recorded speeches. (Note: if my description doesn’t sell you,
check out the song titles.) |
