About
On the only full-length they released before breaking up for nearly 20 years, Mission of Burma fused the anger of punk music with an ear for the avant-garde. They ratchet up the tension on rallying cries like "Learn How" until the explosive chorus feels positively lifesaving, and they continually find new ways to reinterpret the loud-and-fast blueprint to make something completely original (be it the morse-code-like solo on "Weatherbox" or the distraught, goth-dub bass of "Einstein's Day").
