 Patron Saint of Bridge Burners - Now We Are All Sons of Bitches

I love his second album, it's lyrically brilliant.
Here's a review:
"The newest release from Patron Saint of Bridge Burners is a heavy one. Not in terms of sonic power or distortion, but on an emotional level. The whole album is based around the detrimental effects of war and violence on not just the victims, but the civilians on the "winning" side. The album's title comes from a quote by Kenneth Bainbridge, the physicist that helped the atomic bomb come to fruition. Seconds after the first test Bainbridge turned to J Robert Oppenheimer and said, "Now we are all sons of bitches." Thematically, Now We Are All Sons of Bitches follows this quote in each song. The whole experience laments violence and war, but also considers the role we play in its encouragement and rejection. As the title track says, "We are as the soldier with their guns, we're to blame for the slaughter of our daughters and sons."...
... . "Untitled (The Sound + The Fury)" is less poignant lyrically but has several great metaphors based around waves and lightening eroding a landscape. The song burns out on slowing drums and then a violin and cello duet. "Need Somebody" oddly features a blast beat and overwhelming guitar clatter that nearly drowns out lyrics about stormy seas and submissive people. "Heaven's Gate Away Team (Do the Hale Bopp)" is about the ritual suicides encourage by Marshall Applewhite based on the belief that a space-ship was tailing the Hale-Bopp comet. The title comes from the patches the dead wore reading "Heaven's Gate Away Team."...
...Now We are All Sons of Bitches is one of the most sobering listens of 2013 and is highly recommended."
