However good the music, it’s the message here that needs to be listened to the loudest. WRONG GENERATION won’t save the world, but it wants to be part of the movement to make it a better place. In this, it is clear and articulate, and it is also appealing rather than hectoring and lecturing. That it comes from a man with tales of racism and police harassment of his own to tell strengthens its voice into something truly powerful. Because after a lifetime of putting up with this shit, you sense that Jason truly believes this could, finally, at last, be the tipping point where it ends. And as one more voice in the chorus shouting about just how self-evidently wrong a situation as ugly as the one that birthed it is, it serves its good purpose brilliantly.
Verdict: 4/5
For Fans Of: Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine, The Prodigy
Wrong Generation is out now via Roadrunner.
