We’ve Got The Power isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Lead single “We’ve Got The Power” and “Crisis” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of RED ALERT on ‘We’ve Got The Power’. I wish that “We’ve Got The Power” album was instrumental.
This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Weekend Warfare has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. I think They Came In Force is the best song RED ALERT has ever done. Rebels In Society is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Once Third And Final gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. It’s such an underrated song. S.P.G. one of the best in my collection. Foreign Affairs is the albums biggest surprise. There is exquisite mix of music in Campaign. All of songs on We’ve Got The Power and have something to say letting alone The Art Of Brutality. Smash Your Chains - For me, this is the best of the album. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. It`s Me Boys is a strong cut, one of many. In Britain is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through We’ve Got The Power. In Screaming At The Nation you won’t find any flashy solos. Murder Missile - arguably the best track on We’ve Got The Power album. Take No Prisoners make listening to RED ALERT like being in some sort of time warp. Empire Of Crime is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. The sound in Sell Out is really warm and RED ALERT’s signature voice is still very much present. Strong, powerful vocals of RED ALERT in City Invasion are very impressive. Negative Reaction is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Get We’ve Got The Power and turn on There`s A Guitar Burning if you are going to sip your wine late at night. RED ALERT breathes new life into the music in The Dust Has Settled. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. All The Way To Glory - A catchy, upbeat tune. The Revolution Will Come has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. This track is clearly meant to showcase RED ALERT’s vocal abilities.
