From the opener, "The Great Red Shift," through steamroller tracks like "Collusionist," "Your Picture Hung Itself" and "Life During Wartime," MPB hit hard with visceral, honest lyrics and NYC hardcore riffage that's heavier than a fleet of flatbeds hauling scrap metal. The aftershocks of 9/11 are felt throughout the album, from its controversial cover art to tracks like "Why Hyenas Laugh," where Fusco heretically growls, "There's not a prayer in the world /In any sect or any tongue /Holy enough to be answered /To undo what's been done." Not only have MPB kicked off 2004 with a bang, but Our Lady of Annihilation will resonate throughout the metal underground straight up until those "Best of '04" lists come out. -Frank Correia, Rock Specialty Editor
