Album Notes & Community Reviews

This ambitious rock opera tells a complex meta-narrative about a factory worker in 1980s England. Fucked Up blends their hardcore punk roots with massive, anthemic choruses and indie rock melodies. 'David Comes to Life' is a sprawling, high-concept masterpiece that defies genre conventions.
