Dope – Felons and Revolutionaries – Review

Dope

Felons and Revolutionaries (Flip/Epic)
by Scott Hefflon

Revolutionaries on a major label, eh? For those of you who long for the early daze of Ministry, here’s a rappier presentation of the same empty industrial metal roar. While I like their one political idea (non-violent drug offenders should not be incarcerated with rapists and murderers), I grew up when Anthrax and Megadeth made such statements, and we see how much it helped. We live in a country dumb enough to’ve voted for Bush, so you really can’t expect much. So wear your hair silly, plagerize a style of music that ceased to cut edges over a half decade ago (when did Psalm 69 come out?), just don’t expect many to believe your revolutionary poses.
