Eye is the politically charged industrial "acid grind core" band from Australia. Heralding their own political advocacy magazine, Blatant Propaganda, Eye has brought to the surface the lies and disillusions of the Australian Governments mandate and other sordid bureaucratic actions on Politics. The music on this release is as intense as are the issues, ranging from uranium mining (in a nuclear free country?), to the lack of transnational corporate tax revenue, and the means by which the government underhandedly passes mandates without House rule. An overall viewpoint that Australian citizens are for the most part sleeping in regard to such issues is also a theme.

Equally intense to the political expressions and views on this release is the music -- militant, electro-industrial, powerful and protesting, and at times dancy. There are actual samples/excerpts and discussions of politicians and political analysts talking on the tracks about the aforementioned issues. The last track is only a person(s) spoken word with treated vocals explaining the rip off by Transnational corporations of Australian taxes by their not paying their fair share, (ie. they own 90% of Australia, but only pay 8% of the tax!). Australians should be thoroughly pissed off about this and be protesting until these companies pay their fair share.

"Politics" is an incredible release, both in music and political issues in Australia. If you aren't interested in politics, I'd suggest picking up this release for the music. It's as twisted at times, as is the global corporate political agenda.
