Victory and Associates – Karl Rove: Courage and Consequence

2 out of 5

Label: Bandcamp digital download

Producer: Ben Adrian (engineer)

…And the SONG is called ‘Lies, and the Lying Liars That Sell Them.’  Because liars are generally things and not people, so SURE it wouldn’t be ‘Who Sell Them,’ right?

I hate politics, mostly.  I hate opinions.  That’s right, you heard me.  I guess Victory and Associates write good rock / punk throwbacky kinda’ stuff, with those husky talk/shout early 90s-ish vocals, but I don’t care about your politics and opinions.  Trying to move past the one note lyrics, okay, there’s some clever wordplay but mostly it just repeats a couple lines, this sounds good – the recording is nice and thick and gives the call-out vocals a good oomph with the sound, but on the whole, it feels like it honestly drags on a bit (thanks to the repetition) and never really lets loose.  Just an average rock song to me, but maybe I’d think more of it if I wanted to listen to rock songs about Karl Rove.
