Spear Of Destiny - One Eyed Jacks

Review by Orhan Karaman

One Eyed Jacks by Spear Of Destiny is a classic album that has stood the test of time. The music is a perfect blend of punk rock and new wave, with powerful vocals and driving rhythms. The lyrics are intelligent and thought-provoking, tackling themes such as politics, religion, and social issues.

The album kicks off with the explosive "Rainmaker," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. "Young Men" is a standout track, with its catchy chorus and anthemic feel. "Liberal Education" is a scathing critique of the education system, while "Don't Turn Away" is a haunting ballad that showcases the band's softer side.

The production on the album is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal part given ample space to shine. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with intricate riffs and solos that elevate the songs to another level.

Others who have been in the lineup include, Mickey Donnelly, Neil Pyzer, Alan St. Clair, Dolphin Taylor for the albums of 'One Eyed Jacks' and 'World Service'. Pete Barnacle, Steve Barnacle, Marco Perron (Marco Pirroni) and Volker Janssen for the album 'Outland'.

What a classic f***ing song that is!!! But it's a shame the video cuts out Kirk's amusing monologue before the start of the song which you can hear on the original record ... "And this ... is a tender, touching love song. Which I know ... even in the East, there is love. The General told me otherwise. Even Mr Andropopov told me otherwise. But we've not come here, to discuss politics ... We've come here to play love songs."

Gorgeous song. Can't imagine anybody turning Kirk away, I had such a crush on him in my late teens/early 20s.?

Very obviously derivative/imitative/influenced by The Fall and is probably their best album
