I snagged a copy of Pain's newest album entitled Psalms of Extinction recently. I must admit, not all of the songs have the same kind of in your face ego-boosting sound (Shut Your Mouth! off of Dancing with the Dead) as the previous albums, but still I think it is a brilliant album that I am glad to have added to my collection.

Out of the entire track listing, Zombie slam has to be my absolute favorite song on the album... that is, if I had to choose a favorite. Each song has a meaning of its own... and the album as a whole (in my opinion) is trying to give a message that if we don't change the way we are living it will soon be too late. A quote that really sticks in my head from the lyrics of "Does it really matter" is one that a majority of us can surely relate to:

Does it really matter anyway
That we won't get what we're searching for
We slave through life to stay alive
To get a piece of the pie
Does it really matter anyway
That we cannot reach our goals
The more we work, the more we earn
The more we live, the more we burn

With that I will tie up this post... if you are a fan of this band I would definitely suggest this album! If you're not a fan... I'm sure if you listened to them you would become one.
