Imagine this, Jack is not real... 3/5
"You see, Jack is not real. He is a made up persona. The result of someone fed up with the way this world is going and wanting answers and change," is said in the somewhat psychologically baffling biography about himself, whilst attacking the political system of Canada's Artic.
Opening up with a strange piano opening, claiming that 'The Moose is Loose', before talking about
beavers, which strangely springs into my head an image of Sarah Palin, before he ridicules places about the plundering of oil and industrialisation, and the effect on the habitats, singing with a voice that sounds like he's had one too many whisky shots. The vocals generally stays like that throughout the EP in general, although the music changes from a nice piano to a fuzzy rock piece which reminds me of Dire Straits of 'I Need Help', a plea for social change and "Help with the Process". The track is a very good piece, but the guitar solo I feel is completely unnecessary, apart from the odd licks which mark chaos and confusion, thus making its end use rather effective. The whole vibe and pace of the EP is sporadic - a piano song to straight rock to punk rock which maliciously attacks crooked politicians and unfulfilled promises, which isn't surprising. I'd happily give £100 to someone who tells me the name of a politician who has kept a promise without bastardising it in anyway shape of form (that excludes The Vermin Supreme by the way, he's just a nutter.) It all ends with a... Organ? Yes, organ, where Jack takes us to church and preaches his message against corporate interests in music and government accompanied by a rousingly spiritual organ. The song is an "experience meant to illustrate the hypocrisy of right wing governments that rely on "major corporations", something that Rage Against The Machine would have no problem doing, but not is this comical way suited to Jack, which therefore makes the politically charged songs into something effective enough to leave an impact on the listener, as well as to make the general public start ranting again.
