A Simply Great Album
author: AGUIRRE
Third World War: Cast the First Stone is Djevara's follow up to their also great first album, God Is White. Compared to God is White, this album seems to be a complete piece. God is White seemed to be a "best of" cd from their early years but TWWCTFS feels more like an album and a complete piece. TWWCTFS flows beautifully and accomplishs what was intended for it. Most of the songs are longer than 3 minutes and the arrangements of the songs will constantly keep the listener guessing as to what is next. Personally, my favorite song on the album is "Chapter 2." The song builds up and kicks it off with a guitar riff reminiscent to RATM and a hop-hop inspired beat keeps the tempo. The song then plumments into a more alternative punk style and just shows how truly diverse the band is. The vocals take awhile to get used to, but once the listener gets used to them and understands the message trying to be conveyed, the replay value goes through the roof. Overall a great album. I personally suggest checking out "God is White" first, but "TWWCTFS" falls not far from the tree.
