Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Hard Times, whatever we do we cannot seem to escape them, the fear of the depression, the spectre of Victorian era which haunted the populace with visions of the workhouses and the possibility of starvation, we are no longer just three pay checks away from ruin, we are at the mercy of the overlords and politicians, the greed of bankers, the scourge of political idolatry, we are pawns in a harrowing situation, made deeply soulless by a virus that could and should have been contained and eradicated, the virus of capitalism.
