A terrific song which captures the chaos of and emotional response to war perfectly imo. Great track, brilliantly delivered. And given the storyline of the album, absolutely right as the opening track for me. I don't view or listen to this album as a collection of songs, but as a complete work, enhanced by the power of the story and the journey the character takes; so for me it's the only track which is right to open the album, and each track builds on the next whilst linking backwards to previous tracks and forward into those which follow.
I find scoring Meat's work a trifle invidious .. So as I have no fault to find with the concept, the lyrics, the music and Meat's delivery .. why on earth would I rate it less than 10? :)
