Love Destruction!!!.......2006-08-14

If you really like this band this cd is a must, but if I wasn't a fan I'd maybe not take another chance on Warrior Soul, though Love Destruction is probobly the best song they ever wrote. Punk & Belligerent is a perfect drinking song.

Pushes towards the four star mark.......2006-07-19

Warrior Soul, vehicle of Kory Clarke who would hold an (unloaded)gun to his head at times during live gigs and who gave good quote to music journalists, were on the verge of a breakthrough with this and their other releases. But never quite got there.

The tracks here are almost uniform in their anti government stance. Govt in general but especially the US Republican Party. Of couse when you present then imminent downfall of society which WS seem to be doing here, then your really up against it - after all panic merchants have been on about the end of society since the year dot!

WS on this album use a variety of ways of getting their point cross. From outright rockers like Love Destruction to the slowburn of Dimension the band are able to nag away at the listener, drawing them into a hypnotic swirl of guitar riffery.

Gripes would be partly gut feeling regarding the band and musical. Firstly the way Clarke was portrayed as some some of intellectual with the utmost integrity. This is the guy who faxed a heap of copies of the front page of an article to his record company. The headline in question was 'the year punk broke'. And why was Clarke doing this - well the poor dear had tried to get his record company to sign his post WS project which was a punk band and Clarke had figured that punk was going to be the next big thing. And by the record company not going for it he'd missed the gravy train that was pop punk in the 90's. Integrity my backside...

Musically the gripes would be that the album is a bit of a downer with it's constant whining and portrayal of doom and gloom. Having said that the album is musically cleverly constructed with direct and simple delivery of high brow and politically charged lyrics. Truth be told though Clarkes vocals aren't all that engaging or expressive so it does tend to stand or fall on how engaged you are by his anti govt rant.

Huge points for not being a corporate sellout. At least not at this point. And certainly a band on a mission to try to educate people to their way of thinking. Thought provoking stuff in parts and certainly direct in it's messages.

This was the band's third effort.'Salutations...',I think sounds more rounded out as well as a bit more upbeat than their first two CD's,although they were good too.I've liked every disc put out by this group.The social issues and political [...] is very much still intact.As for the tracks that more than makes this a choice title to keep in your music collection are the title cut "Ghetto Nation","Love Destruction",the [...] "Blown" and "Trip Rider". Overall,just a good heavy rock catalog release.Only regret I have is I never got to see vocalist Kory Clarke and crew play live.Worth checking out.

This is an album of people who should belong in anger management. The group definitely matured from the first 2 outtings, and to me it was what they needed. A good swift kick as now they cranked out one of the angriest albums out there. It even rivals with Anthrax's "Persistence Of Time". It kicks off with "Love Destruction", and I should say it pounds off because it's ferocious. "Party and Beligerent" is I believe a cover of a underground punk group of the 70's, but it's raising Cain right here. The crescendo actually occurs on the title track which is the last song on the cd. From the mindsplitting guitar riff to the angriest vocals out there it's just full of rage, and this released shortly before Clinton was innaugurrated. Well anyway... this was thier pinnacle as thier next album "Chill Pill" bombed, and then they disappeared.

This album truly was a masterpiece of political despair and anger. Why it is not given it's proper respects I do not know. Just buy the album and experience the music for yourself. If you have never heard this album you will most likely walk away with a new outlook on the environment around you.
