Mission Of Burma - Academy Fight Song
Review by Nancy Samaniego
Academy Fight Song by Mission Of Burma is a post-punk masterpiece that showcases the band's unique sound and experimental approach to music. The album, released in 1982, features a blend of frenetic energy, intricate guitar work, and socially conscious lyrics that make for an unforgettable listening experience.
The opening track, "That's When I Reach for My Revolver," immediately sets the tone for the album with its driving bassline and urgent vocals. The band's signature use of dissonant guitar riffs and unconventional song structures is evident throughout the album, particularly on tracks like "Max Ernst" and "All World Cowboy Romance."
Despite the album's raw and abrasive sound, there is a sense of purpose and intention behind every track. The lyrics tackle issues of politics, war, and social injustice with a sense of urgency and conviction that is both inspiring and thought-provoking.
