Obey starts with one of the band's more powerful sonic statements, "Kill Them All", which is a clairvoyant introduction to the rest of the record. While it doesn't prepare you to the shocking lyrics, it generates sufficient amount of antibodies in the listener for what's' to come musically. After that, the band continously tries to shock the listener with songs that are closer to collages of depraved mantras than to music; they do shock and disturbe tremendously, but fail to sustain a full-lenght LP. The track that gives the album its name it's a great example: the lyrics and the music are as crude and depraved as music can get, yet, the musical statement soon starts to feels more like a predictable shock scheme: repetitive droning riffs with sadistic lyrics. The brainbombs formula it's revealed and there's no mysteries to be found; All we are left whit it's a easily reproducible format, which his only merit it's the stomach that someone has to have to sing something like this; but it's fair enough to say, lyrics like these didn't came from a high IQ necesarilly. By the time the LP is finish, the band proves they can frighten the mass audience, but not the listener.

As I said before, the first track it's as powerful as rock can get, but after the shock is gone we see how disgusting and simple the lyrics are. Obey might as well be one of the most inmoral and obsecene songs I've ever heard. I don't want to hear this record ever again.
