Details: Amazon.ca Damn, these governments treat their people badly. Crikey, aren't global corporations exploitative? Goodness, aren't human rights abuses very bad things? Some laudable, if obvious points, and all of them almost made on New World Disorder, an album that offers such a woolly take on revolutionary politics that it makes the Monster Raving Loony Party look like a finely honed political force. Political heavy metal was always far preferable to the genre's more typically misogynist excesses, but on their fifth studio album, Biohazard are still rereading dangerously vague clichés; the message of "Resist" is essentially "be yourself, kids", but it could be read as anything from "it's alright to have facial piercings" to "all immigration should be stamped out to keep us racially pure". That's by no means the intended message, we'd assume, but New World Order flirts with fascistic imagery, and then never makes any clear, unequivocal statements, so impressionable listeners could take it any way. Really, a little more clarity and a little less noise would be appreciated. --Louis Pattison
