Q: THE MOST FUCKED UP ABUSE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE? A: ICONOCLAST

music-wise Nippon's ICONOCLAST are a D-BEAT monster but lyric-wise they are a joke which makes it impossible for me to take them serious. really, why would anybody write lyrics in a language he doesn't know properly? even the spelling is horrible! however the music is powerful and they know how to handle their instruments.

  1. thanks for this i had it on tape for a while thanks to a friend but now i got the artwork, thanks again.
    i like the lyrics, they are par with dis bands even with people who speak enlish as a first language. its not groundbreaking but they do mean something.

    about the lyrics: in this case it's more like they COULD mean something or anything or nothing...

  4. I think sometimes Japanese bands use English as sort of a cop-out--most of their listeners doesn't know the language either and therefore can't tell if the lyrics suck or not.
