American Distress is the major theme from a band with the same name and same disc title. The album revolves around the idea of fear and putting fear into Americans by various elites who are supposed to protect the people. It is generally a commentary on what American culture has become... hungry materialist media driven imitators (?). The album opens with a dialogue and a banging first track, "Fraudulent Times". The lyrics "everything is a copy of a copy" are probably the most memorable lyrics on any records in recent years. Listening to American Distress creates this sense of explosion; it makes you want to scream and blow your freaking mind into pieces... I guess this makes sence with track titles like "Ill Logic" and "Nerve Damage". The title track totally sums up everything about American Distress: lies and America's irreversible mess and chaos. The track that follows, "Bottles And Obscenities" features a little dialogue/skit that might be suggesting a future New York City as a chaotic wasteland. "Eternal Bullshit" is the media lies track. It features the ironically enthusiastic lines of "Yeaahhh is not real..." This is music of the armageddon, well, music about the end of American culture as we know it. Only listen to American Distress with a clear head, and even then, it might just be a little too much for veteran hardcore listeners.Nerve Damage
