Mother Russia

[Edfarts 1]

Does anybody else think the song "Mother Russia" is terrible?I hated it so much I deleted it off my cassette and replaced it with another IM song.

Well, hatred is a very strong kind of feeling, and I don't know if I'm that intense just with a song. But I get your point.
There would be a difference if it wasn't a 1990 track but written & released in 2022...

I'm not really a fan of anything off No Prayer for the Dying however I suspect this particular post about this particular song is likely related to current events.

Don't worry it's perfectly within the law to hate a song. Hate crime hasn't yet stretched to music.

Regardless of lyrics, I think it's one of the better songs in the album, if not the best. However, not even comparable to my top 20/30 IM songs.

I like the song.

Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Remember who you are
Can you release
The anger the grief?
Can you be happy
Now your people are free

Always loved that song, one of the best in the whole album

I think Mother Russia was a track from 1990. Unless of course they re released it again in the 2000s.

Absolutely not. It's a little more than decent for me, second favourite from my least favourite album. (First place goes to Run Silent Run Deep, which is genuinely great.)

 

[The Red and the Black]

It’s a good song, the most “Maideny” song on the album. It’s just too short, in my opinion. It feels like it should be an 8 or 9-minute epic.

 

[Edfarts 1]

Well it's very short on my cassette version. I deleted it completely eeeew!! Brrrrr:::::shivers::: terrible tune.

It's the best song of the album and one of their best songs in the 90s, period. I love that song.
