Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally conceived as a massive debut album that would sell millions and break up the band, 'Generation Terrorists' is a fiercely ambitious collision of heavy arena rock and Marxist politics. The Welsh quartet delivers highly melodic, energetic sleaze-rock fueled by anxious, conscious poetry.
