They're almost all instrumental, Brick, but Suffocate For Fuck Sake has a ton of Swedish spoken word. Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia has a female frontman who delivers really simplistic but emotionally impacting lyrics in a lugubrious monotone, which really sets their music over-the-top, into classic territory.

Albums:

This is Your Captain Speaking-Storyboard (rating 4.5)
Menwhile Back In Communist Russia-Indian Ink (rating 5) and My Elixir; My Poison (rating 4.5)
September Malevolence-Tomorrow We'll Wonder Where This Generation Gets Its Priorities From (rating 4.5)
Laura-Radio Swan Is Down (rating 4), Mapping Your Dreams (rating 4.5)
Beware of Safety-It Is Curtains (rating 4.5), dogs (Sheath011) (rating 4.5)
you.may.die.in.the.desert-Bears in the Yukon (rating 4.5)
Upcdowncleftcrightcabc+start-Embers (rating 4.5), And the Battle is Won (rating 4.5)
The Pirate Ship Quintet-The Pirate Ship Quintet (4.5)
The Evpatoria Report-Everything by them is a 4.5
Joy Wants Eternity-You Who Pretend To Sleep (rating 5)

It would be better if the lyrics were insightful social commentary

Cool.

Hopelandic is such a cop-out for the band not knowing what the fuck glossolalia is. Either that or they're just that pretentious.

Hopefully you're listening to Blazing Fires and Helicopters on the Frontpage of the Newspaper. There’s a War Going on and I’m Marching in Heavy Boots.
you're an idiot

That's why I only listen to robertsona.

They should just shout "PROUDHON" over and over again it would be so much better.

The spoken word is used way too much. Other than that, this is great. And yes, that is the album that I'm listening to.

If you understand the Swedish it makes so much more sense. I had my mom's friend who took a Rosetta Stone program for learning Swedish translate it and it made my entire perspective of the album change.
