Opening with the sharp pounding of a strident guitar, the song rushes by like a white-hot train, with urgent, angry vocals atop a careening rhythm. The song's tension -- and there is plenty -- is the result of breakneck drums attempting to find a center amidst the chaos and fury of Miller's guitar and voice. When it finally collapses in an explosion of shouts and bangs, you’ll feel completely wrung out -- but ready with twitching fingers to cue it up again.       James Mann     James Mann is the Features Editor for Ink 19 magazine.

I say this holding the belief that this song is not even their best material. Mission of Burma typify what good music is to me. They were smart, skilled, and passionate. Even a cursory listen to Mission Of Burma will change your life and have you begging to hear more. Malcolm with melodic guitars, "progress" might strike you as "punk-lite" at first, but don't be mistaken. The insightful lyrics really gave me something to think about. jamie
