Our Take
Our Take
Step right up, dear readers, as we delve into the twisted mind of metal legend Philip H. Anselmo and his latest offering, "Choosing Mental Illness as a Virtue." With a title like that, you know you're in for a wild ride.
From the moment the music kicks in, it's clear that Anselmo and The Illegals are not messing about. The guitars are heavier than an elephant on steroids, the drums are pounding away like a jackhammer on acid, and Anselmo's vocals are as ferocious as a rabid pitbull.
But don't be fooled by the aggression on display here; there's a dark sense of humour running through these tracks that sets this album apart from your run-of-the-mill metal record. From the blistering riffs of "Little Fucking Heroes" to the sludgy heaviness of "The Ignorant Point," Anselmo and The Illegals keep the listener on their toes, never quite knowing what's coming next.
Sure, the subject matter might be heavy, but there's a twisted joy in the way Anselmo and his bandmates tear through these songs with reckless abandon. "Choosing Mental Illness as a Virtue" is not for the faint-hearted, but for those brave enough to take the plunge, it's a ride you won't soon forget. So strap in, dear readers, and prepare to have your eardrums blown to smithereens.
