Acerca de Prisoners

Resumen

Prisoners es el tercer álbum de estudio de la banda de metal canadiense the Agonist. Fue lanzado el 4 de junio en Europa y el 5 de junio de 2012 en Norteamérica a través de Century Media records y fue producido por el productor de larga data de la banda Christian Donaldson. "Ideomotor" ha sido confirmado como el primer sencillo. El álbum vendió 1,400 copias en los Estados Unidos en la primera semana de su lanzamiento y debutó en el puesto No. 19 en la lista Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers). Este es el último álbum con la cantante original Alissa White-Gluz antes de que se uniera a Arch Enemy en 2014. Estilo Dan Marsicano de About.com describió el álbum como una "mezcla enfocada de metalcore recto y artesanía técnica que bordea el frente progresivo" y Sputnik Music escribió que el álbum "rebosa inspiración de una plétora de géneros, como melodeath, thrash y metal progresivo". Recepción crítica En una reseña para AllMusic, el crítico Eduardo Rivadavia explicó: "Aunque su amalgam explosivamente esquizofrénico de sonidos, estados de ánimo e intensidades dispares podría sugerir lo contrario al principio, el tercer álbum de the Agonist, Prisoners, es de hecho un resumen apropiado de lo que vino antes; un freakout maduro y calculado que representa el último sprint en la curva evolutiva agresiva de la banda canadiense, mucho más allá de las modestas raíces del metalcore. En About.com, Dan Marsicano escribió: "Prisoners es un álbum mucho más manso que Lullabies for the Dormant Mind, con menos instrumentación adicional, pero es solo un poquito mejor debido al esfuerzo combinado de cada miembro".

“Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilisation.”

“While there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”

“Mr. Emerson visited Thoreau at the jail, and the meeting between the two philosophers must have been interesting and somewhat dramatic. The account of the meeting was told me by Miss Maria Thoreau [Henry Thoreau's aunt]—"Henry, why are you here?" Waldo, why are you not here?”
— Attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Arthur Samuel Jones, Thoreau's Incarceration [As Told by His Jailer], p. 15 (1962). This exchange was supposed to have taken place on July 23 or 24, 1846, in the Concord, Massachusetts, jail where Thoreau was placed for nonpayment of poll taxes. There are many versions of this story, but Thoreau's account does not mention a visit by Emerson, in his Reform Papers, ed. Wendell Glick (1973), p. 79–84, so it is probably apocryphal.
“The least I can do is speak out for the hundreds of chimpanzees who, right now, sit hunched, miserable and without hope, staring out with dead eyes from their metal prisons. They cannot speak for themselves.”
— Jane Goodall as reported in Janelle Rohr, Animal rights: opposing viewpoints (1989), p. 100; Jane Goodall and Jennifer Lindsey, Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe (1999), p. 6. Occasionally misreported in truncated form, as "The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves", in, e.g., quote honored on EarthE eco money.
“The newspapers are gonna be tough on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself.”
