I like a bit of NMA in their heyday, Justin Sullivan wrote a good tune and some good lyrics at times. Here's a few of my favourites.
Any other NMA fans out there?
'Here Comes The War' - from 1992's The Love Of Hopeless Causes, written against the backdrop of the horrific Ygoslav War and Bosnian Genocide.
"While a thousand miles away, in a warehouse complex down by the river,
Young money men play paintball games
Here comes the war - put out the lights on the Age of Reason"
The video is a bit lame but it's a good song delivered with fury.
'The World', opening tune from 1989's Thunder and Consolation album. the ECO warrior army charges.
"And if one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky
I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast
With courage from your bravest friends, waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp
I know somehow I will survive - this fury just to stay alive
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so . ."
'Spirit of the Falklands' John Peel Session 1984, better than the album version.
"Exciting pictures on News at Ten (I couldn't believe it)
Read all the crap on all the front pages (I never believed it)
Fight the good fight There's dead men in the South Atlantic
It's meant to warm our hearts
To think that they died for you and me
Oh God, what a farce, what a farce"

Here he is with his own band Blackballed.....
[Aswad, however, I've continued to love and seen again]
Still, the early stuff was a bit of a bench mark in bass tone as I remember it.
I might go see them again in the next year. They were fab live.
Love them so much. I think my favourite song of all is Ballad.

They’ve never written a bad song, though I agree the pre-impurity stuff is stronger.

In fact, Ghost of Cain is one of their best albums ever!
Good new is that I have heard they are back in form
Moose Harris was decent too.
