The Middle Fifth Column - Suspect Music 1981 1990
Review by Mats Olsson
Middle Fifth Column’s Suspect Music 1981-1990 is a retrospective album that showcases the band’s unique approach to music-making. The album features a collection of tracks that were recorded during the band’s formative years and offers a glimpse into their evolution as musicians.
The album’s sound is a mix of punk, post-punk, and experimental rock, with a strong emphasis on the use of synthesizers and electronic instruments. The tracks are raw, energetic, and at times, chaotic, but always engaging. The band’s DIY ethos is evident in the production, which is intentionally lo-fi and gritty.
The album’s standout tracks include “Lies”, “On the Edge”, and “Suburban Dream”. These songs capture the band’s rebellious spirit and their willingness to push the boundaries of traditional rock music. The lyrics are politically charged and deal with themes such as social injustice, conformity, and the struggles of everyday life.
