Much more Info Eclecticism has been a hallmark of Richard Patrick's career in Filter, and it's administered with crushing efficiency on The Distress With Angels. Fans weaned on the industrial outbursts and corrosive beats of 1995's Brief Bus and 1999's Title of Confirmation will be ecstatic to hear Patrick's particular scream and unflinching honesty dominating the new album. The prolific multi-instrumentalist couches intensely private narratives in throwback industrial crushers subject to multiple interpretations. On the surface, leadoff single &quotThe Inevitable Relapse&quot details a shattered man succumbing to addiction, but can be scan as a examine of be idiotic about lost, consumption or obsession, depending on your perspective. Not to mention its isolated bass outline and thudding chord collapse both conjure and modernize Filter's breakthrough smash, &quotHey Man, Nice Shot.&quot The guessing game continues down Angels' track catalog. Is the hammering &quotAbsentee Member of the clergy&quot about the man upstairs or an unreliable blood relation? Does the fist-pumping &quotNo Delight in&quot take a nation addicted to warfare to job, or is it a flagellation of the narrator's own selfishness? Patrick prefers ambiguity, but one thing is evident: The Distress With Angels boasts his strongest, most aggressive songwriting yet. &quotI've heard folks say, 'Well, Richard is mellowing with age…' and I was like, in fact?&quot he exclaims with characteristic intensity. &quotMellow?! You know what? I've been searching for an defense to tear folks's heads off approximately time ago more!&quot &quotThe 1st three songs [on the new confirmation] are for folks who are super-pissed and want Small Bus, and then everything soon after that, it's like what we did with Title and [2002's] Amalgamut,&quot Patrick continues. &quotThere's one song that's perhaps as soft as [Title's crossover hit] 'Take a Picture.' [But] I truly reckon to this day my consultation really should be as eclectic as I am. If they can listen to Radiohead, then Pantera, they need to be capable to listen to that within the very same band.&quot Lyrically and musically, Patrick's taken it to the next amount. Employing the talents of collaborators new and ancient (drummer Mika Fineo and original right-hand man Brian Liesegang, who contributes sound stylishness to the lush &quotFades Like a Photograph&quot), he unleashes serrated riffs that recall ancient-school pit-starters like &quotDose,&quot &quotUnder&quot and &quotWelcome to the Fold.&quot At times they even have to be dragged into the planet kicking and screaming. &quotThe solo in 'Absentee Member of the clergy,' it's like total disregard,&quot Patrick laughs. &quotA complete and utter fuck you-ism solo that doesn't follow any rules whatsoever fully avant-garde, and it's the third song on the confirmation. For an album of closed fists and open tops, the title track can't possibly be misinterpreted. Patrick confronts the scientifically-challenged tenets of fundamentalist proselytizers, assuring, &quotWhen you take a better second look, miracles fade.&quot On the other feature of the coin, he remains unafraid to explore his own failings and make honest music out of them. Take &quotDrug Boy&quot: &quotWhen we had been youngsters, we'd trip out on whatever and solely walk about graveyards in Cleveland. A bigwig would inevitably stumble across a mausoleum, palm a skull and take off with it. ཈ hours of acid, let's dig up a casket,'&quot he laughs, quoting the lyrics. Patrick is quick to give credit to producer Bob Marlette for not only putting the best corrosive &quotfinishing touches&quot on the confirmation, but cheering his brutally candid lyrical approach. Ultimately, although, provocative his Angels are, the frontman insists, &quotI don't want to come off as if I've got an agenda on this confirmation – I in fact don't. I want to caution the truth inside of me and caution it to the folks who are going via these lives we lead.&quot
