This is Michael Mixerr. This afternoon I will review boysetsfire - In Chrysalis (1998).
The In Chrysalis album was released in 1998 as an EP. On this EP is where boysetsfire gets political. Political rock meets the sound of post-hardcore rock on this boysetsfire. The political mood comes from songs The Tyranny of What Everybody Knows, Cavity, and Holiday in Cambodia (Dead Kennedys cover). Boysetsfire gets political especially on songs such as The Tyranny of What Everybody Knows and Holiday in Cambodia (Dead Kennedys cover).
Holiday in Cambodia is a cover song of Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia. boysetsfire does a great performance of covering the Dead Kennedys song Holiday in Cambodia. The song itself kicks ass!
The Tyranny of What Everybody Knows has a theme of anarchy and tyranny hence the word tyranny in the song’s title. Total disorder and tyranny represent the song The Tyranny of What Everybody Knows. It’s a song of defiance and political opposition to the office of oppressors. Office of oppressors represents the leadership in this case. The song Tyranny of What Everybody Knows is similar to songs written and performed by Dead Kennedys.
I rate this EP, In Chrysalis (1998), 3/5***.
