The belly of the beast is large in dying colour
With the two-tone grey to blackness in the hearts
Of the folks without a hope to keep them helpless
It’s a state of mind and safety for the precious business
Keep us down, the prime directive
Everybody stays paralyzed by fear
There won’t be any problems
You and I could be a fucking problem
With the strength of mind over matter
Lay it down for freedom
Lay that new solution down
Lay that new solution on me
I know, as Hell unfolds, we’re gonna need your help
Melee on the floor, you’d think somebody just dropped a quarter
People shoving, people pushing buttons making bombs rain down
Terminator, cold container, full of brains, skyscraper
Ambition to gain too much is way too much but everybody wants one too
I want one too
Everybody’s got one and I want one too
The monkey little children wearing suits
It should be cute, but all I wanna do is string ‘em up and decorate a new procession
Lay that new solution down
Lay that new solution on me
I know, as Hell unfolds, we’re gonna need your help
Lay that new solution down
Lay your new solution on me
I know, it’s solid gold
That check don’t fucking bounce
There's no hope at all if you don't believe in me
There's no hope in Hell if I don't have faith in you
It's nothing but a man made machine
It can be broken down
I believe in you
If you believe in me then let's get started
Lay that new solution down
Lay that new solution on me
I know, as Hell unfolds, we’re gonna need your help
Lay that new solution down
Lay your new solution on me
I know, it’s solid gold
That check don’t fucking bounce
This is ATD firing on all cylinders creatively. Hardcore, punk jumping shredders, anthemic, gang chant-y street punk--this album is all muscle. 'A Total Disappointment' is what a 20 minute powder keg sounds like. thewreckedneck
This is one of the best albums to come out last year. Rarely does a modern day hardcore band write something this catchy and solid all the way through. 10/10 robolitious
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
