Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
“Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes”, the point taken, understood and arguably looked upon as a template of emotional sacrifice that we must share equally as we look to those who give their all so that others may live to fight another day.
It is a sacrifice intended to make the survivor feel indebted to the idea that heroism is an artifice, that by having heroes entails a sense of wretched idealism, and yet it is more about the loss, a surrender to grief, for what is grief, but a love never forgotten, a love that bravely withstands the winds of snide and malicious intent to do the soul of the bereft harm.
