(Copied from my AOTY account)
Side A of this demo is a concept album about the war on Iraq and the media during that time (I’m completely sane).
We’ve Started Up, is the start of the war, and the songs during that period mixed into a “The Avalanches-esque” sound.
Peace/Tony/Devil shows the satanic panic in full force.
To The Wind symbolizes a radio on a soldier deployed in the war.
Iraq Says is a news coverage about the war, from the mind of a young child (by the game sfx and the same phrase being repeated nonstop by the reporter.
Mukinabaht shows the turmoil and despair of the soldiers at its worst.
”its a whole Nother year” shows the end of the war, and an empty celebration.
Every other track on side A fits perfectly into the media, Americana, the inner turmoil of the soldiers, and religious hysteria (Heyanna Hosanna).
trust me bro
