A frenetic forensic foray into classic old-as-civilization themes involving greed, graft and corruption as applied to any political sphere.

An edgy second round of soaring vocals, angular guitars, and pulsing drums, enveloped by timeless keyboard arrangements requires multiple listens to appreciate fully. Manning, Dover and Smith ruminate on the other 3 new songs:<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8777948971MsoNoSpacing\"><b>\u201cDo You Feel Better?\u201d\u00a0<\/b>as told by<b>\u00a0Tim Smith:<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\n<i>A romp along the primrose path of temptations, internal and external, real or imagined, the tiny demons we dance with throughout our lives. A pulsing bass and hypnotic guitar rhythm plays like the backing band to a striptease you\u2019ve sneaked into, and don\u2019t know where to sit, but all are welcome!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Some things are more dangerous than others, of course, but this song is sort of a combination of letting your guard down, because of preconceived notions of what\u2019s right or wrong, and justification of actions you think you understand to have under control. Who knows?<\/p>\n<p>Experiences do give us perspective, and this song tries to play between the id and superego &#8211; a Screwtape letter demon, and an Angel of Mercy.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14127 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1-1-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8777948971MsoNoSpacing\"><b>\u201cSovereignty Blues<\/b>\u201d as told by<b>\u00a0Roger Joseph Manning Jr.:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8777948971MsoNoSpacing\"><i>\u201cFears fire\u2019s all they\u2019re fanning, but I won\u2019t light up their fuse.\u201d A tale as old as humanity.
