Lyrics of Note:
Strangers suggesting I keep my voice down
Just because it’s 5 am
Not my problem or fault you picked this place to live

Thrash meets hardcore meets punch-you-in-the-face politics. That’s Iron Reagan’s third album, “Crossover Ministry,” in a nutshell. A very angry, impossible-to-crack nutshell.

Improbably paced (18 songs in 30 minutes… say what?!?!), “Crossover Ministry” tears into your ears out of the gates and never lets up. Singer Tony Foresta viciously delivers his vocals, a relentless lyrical rage that resembles a passionate general going to war, while guitarists Mark Bronzino and Landphil Hall raise a 30-chord-salute that seems too merciless to be catchy, but the revolving riffs defy that logic, particularly on tracks “Grim Business” and “Bleed the Fifth.”

“Crossover Ministry” is fuel for the adrenal glands. If you can listen to the album and not want to go out and accomplish something of great personal importance, then you need to find a better outlet for your anger. Iron Reagan has. Use what they have given you constructively!
