By the time Trans Am released this album, I had lost touch with the group. They seemed to have headed off in a completely new direction with TA (which I actually enjoyed quite a bit), but it's around this same period that I slowly drifted towards drone and ambient music. I remember finding the mp3s and not enjoying it all that much, but I'm happy I decided to buy it two years later. This was a return to their rock/synth roots, like new wave punk legends Wire jamming with Italian horror rockers Goblin, but with a decidedly more political agenda. Helming from Washington DC, the band were firsthand witnesses of the fear and change in the population's psyche and used this as inspiration for composing Liberation. If you're pro-Bush, then I suggest steering clear from the record, but anyone with an open mind or on the opposite side of the political scale will find much to enjoy here.
