Mad At the World - Boomerang (CD, 2024, Retroactive) Remaster Limited 300 unit

Description: WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BOOMERANG....They've still got that singer (Roger Rose) but most everything else has changed, and now play near-metal guitar rock with buzz saw axes and drums that hit you in the chest. Tony Cummings / Cross Rhythms Music (U.K.)The next three outings reflect the band’s second phase. Gritty guitars rule, keyboards are all but banished, and real drums replace synthesized rhythm machines. Rose also tones down his faux British accent and acquires more of the vocal snarl of a Jim Morrison or Billy Idol. Mark Allan Powell / Encyclopedia of CCMLocate this album wherever it can be found as it remains one the best Christian Alternative Albums in existence, regardless of the time period.

This album stands out for its rich variety of musical styles, setting it apart from their previous effort, Seasons of Love. The energetic opening track "House of Sin" bridges the two albums, while "If You Listen" introduces a darker, more atmospheric sound, vividly depicting themes of spiritual struggle.Tracks like "Back to You" and "Don't Give Up" highlight the band's ability to craft memorable melodies and harmonies, with the latter drawing comparisons to the mid-90s rock vibe of Stone Temple Pilots. The poignant "Ballad of Adam and Eve" and the hard-hitting "Sunday" showcase the band's versatility, from tender love themes to grittier, Alice In Chains-like tones. "Draggin' the Chains," co-written by bassist Brent Gordon, delves into the depths of sin and redemption, offering powerful lyrics, quasi-metal guitars and a deeply compelling narrative.Perhaps the most controversial track, "Isn't Sex a Wonderful Thing?" uses biting sarcasm to critique modern attitudes towards love and purity, reflecting the band's fearless approach to challenging societal norms. The album closes with a robust reprise of "No More Innocence," transforming the original keyboard-driven track into a full-force rock anthem.This reissue of Boomerang, part of Retroactive Records' Legends Remastered Series, is limited to 300 copies and features a remastered sound by Rob Colwell. Packaged in a jewel case with an eight-page lyrics insert, this edition revitalizes one of the best Christian alternative albums ever, ensuring its legacy endures for new and old fans alike.TracksHouse Of SinIf You ListenBack To YouDon't Give UpBallad Of Adam And EveSundayDraggin The ChainsAll These QuestionsIsn't Sex A Wonderful Thing?No More Innocence (Reprise)
