Broken Guru - Bent Up Halo
"Monster Inside" begins with the band announcing, "Everybody's got a monster inside, you know." It's the sort of thing that may rub the prim and proper among us the wrong way. However, it's likely pretty close to the truth. We may put on a good front with our dress and all our personal hygiene, but if others could see the real darkness in our hearts, we might all be quite embarrassed.
On "Got To Be Mean" they sing about getting a bike stolen as a child. You'd think they'd just have let it go by now, but this experience is what's made them so mean. Perhaps it's what's created that monster inside in the first place.
This music is rough 'n tumble rock & roll, notable for its soulful playing and rough-around-the-edges vocals. It's also is an album for those that are sick and tired of slick, soulless rock. Dig it, man!
