"Sex, Drugs Anarchy" — what comes to mind with that title? Punk rock, crust, but definitely not rough hard rock. Any punk who buys the album based on the title is likely to experience acute ear bleeding. There’s no punk rock, no crust blasting from the speakers, but rather finest hard rock with roots in the 80s. Bombastic, clear, and powerful.
Why GEMINI FIVE chose this title for their album is unclear. The lyrics could be somewhat related, but only to a certain extent. They deal with feelings, blood, weapons, and various dirty fantasies. The band expresses despair and longing very vividly in their lyrics. How these feelings explode in reality is depicted dramatically. So, quite typical of hard rock. Sex and drugs fit in well, but does that have anything to do with anarchy?
Musically, the band manages to combine 80s hard rock, thick guitar sounds reminiscent of metalcore, bombastic effects, and fantastic melodies without sounding cheesy or outdated. Rather, the band manages to drape a new dirty cloak over the clean hard rock sound of the past. The cloak is bloody, dirty, but is worn with heads held high and proud chests. A rarely good record that absolutely impresses a punk rocker like me.
