Here is another concept album and a pretty powerful one. Deeply entrenched in the desillusional USA of the nineties, the band delivers tracks after tracks of great and catchy songs while Geoff Tate delivers lyrics full of venom and bitterness.
Revolving around a poor guy who gets recruited to fight the corrupt system, he is brainwashed to become a killer for "an underground organisation working overtime".
He is helped (and falls in love with ) a hooker turned sister and such.
Sounds ludicrous ?
The critical lyrics about the society is quite easy and almost- almost- naïve but the mix with the great songs makes the whole stew work (revolution calling !)
It is definitly the 90ies in sounds and all but yet there was a great part of it and this one is definitly on the good side.
