Album Review: Lie Rage Sorrow by Old Joe's Anger
If you’re into raw, unfiltered rock with a punch, Lie Rage Sorrow by Old Joe's Anger is the kind of album that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. Released in 2007 under Kawaii Records (and Straight From The Inside), this French gem hits hard—not just musically but thematically too. It’s not your typical polished stadium rock; instead, it feels like a gritty conversation over a beer at some underground bar where everyone's got something to say about life’s chaos.
The tracklist dives headfirst into heavy topics like politics, corruption, and societal struggles. Tracks like “Politics” and “Look For The Way Out” are ones I can’t shake off. “Politics” kicks things off with this relentless guitar riff that feels like it’s mocking every empty promise made by those in power. The vocals? Raw and pissed-off, but in the best way possible. You feel it—like they’re shouting right alongside you after reading yet another infuriating headline.
Then there’s “Look For The Way Out.” This one slows things down just enough to let the weight of everything sink in. It’s almost haunting how the lyrics echo feelings of being trapped—not just physically, but mentally. There’s this moment near the end where the drums kick back in, and honestly? It gave me goosebumps. It’s like finding a tiny spark of hope buried under all the rage and sorrow.
What stands out about Lie Rage Sorrow isn’t just its sound—it’s the honesty. These guys aren’t trying to sugarcoat anything or make you feel warm and fuzzy. They’re throwing truth bombs wrapped in crunchy riffs and pounding rhythms. Even though the album came out in 2007, it still feels relevant today. Maybe even more so.
Let’s be real—if you’re looking for background music while folding laundry, this ain’t it. But if you want an album that makes you think, feel, and maybe even scream along, Old Joe’s Anger has got you covered. Plus, coming from France—a country known more for croissants than crushing guitars—this record proves rock knows no borders.
Final thought? Listening to Lie Rage Sorrow feels like therapy for people who don’t do therapy. And hey, who knew yelling about politicians could feel so cathartic?
Here’s a cool fact: The album *Lie Rage Sorrow* by Old Joe's Anger is like a punch in the gut against corruption and politics. Released in 2007 in France, it’s raw, in-your-face rock. Tracks like “Politics” and “Corruption” don’t just hint at the issues—they scream about them. It’s wild how this French band channeled so much anger into one album, all under the label Kawaii Records. Not your typical rock record, that’s for sure.
