The promise cast, the hopeful lured Stabbing by the pointed words Tortures of the damned you'll find Guilt preys upon the human mind All you know and all you feel Is all there is and all that's real Innocent told you're a worthless pain Eventually drives all insane Bleak optimism gained A lame excuse to hide the pain Instinct stifled be ashamed For what you feel is right and sane Suffering, told what you feel and need is wrong When conflicting with the machine The machine that's run so long Suffer the masses, contradicting views inside Suffer the masses, the personality divides Suffer the masses, what's told and what you know Suffer the masses, now, now the neuroses grows Generations handed down The false smile to hide your frown Instinct stifled don't be afraid For what you feel is right and sane The promise cast, the hopeful lured Stabbed by the pointed words Tortures of the stabbed you'll find As guilt devours your broken mind

Eric’s definitely one of the best metal vocalists of all time.

[@John57945]

Ditto that. He can actually sing unlike a lot of metal bands out there.

[@D_2387]

When I opened for them back in 2018 in Detroit I talked with him after our set, he sounded like your typical middle aged man who smoked too much. When he hit that stage, he sounded just like the albums man. He blew me and my bandmate away

[@morrison1405]

No, he's not.

He was the bands real weakness. Prong and Sacred Reich had the same problem. Cool riffs and songs but zero backbone in the vocals.

[@MechaFenris]

Yup. It's amazing how much 80's and 90's metal still speaks to the ills of society. Listening to "Hook in Mouth" is like listening to Dave talk about cancel culture...Birthed by the bitches of the PMRC.

"Storm" Still 1 of my top favorite albums of all time "All you know, and all you feel, is all there is, and all that's real"

[@roberthoage679]

Quite possibly the coolest rhythm guitar tone....EVER.🤘

[@g.v.pag.8400]

Along with that drumming sound.. it's one of my favorite thrash sounds/album ever; a classic of the late eighties/first nineties! Horrorscope maybe could be the second in that kind of list..

The ultimate 80s mid scoop metal tone

It's weird how F&J were the first to do the gnarly guitar tone and the the Swedish death metal scene adopted it. Now F&J stray from it and it's back en vouge again. Boss even re-released the HM-2 pedal from the late 80's.

2023 and am still remembering putting this casette tape into my boombox. (Will be 59 in Dec. 2023, I seen a lot of shit change since the days of great sounds like this, makes me so much appreciate what life tuly is and can be, but sadly it is then that I relaize, I can not know what it was to understand back then. Songs like this make you realize we can all get through this crap that's going on, and it tells a storry nothing in today's 'music comes close to telling a story. anyway (Sorry I don't talk much, so when i do i just keep talking,)it was a compilation tape of all the good bands. Flotsam Jetsam - Suffer the Masses, W.A.S.P - Forever Free, Dokken - The Hunter, D.R.I. - Beneath the Wheel, Axe - I think you'll remember tonight, Accept - Princess of the Dawn, just the average (at the timew anyway, a regular compilation tape of Underrated bands and songs. Flotsam and Jetsam and WASP Forever free took 1 and 2 for me. There is no way that this technoliogically altered shrieks that we listen too and we have the right to call this music? The above is what constitutes music. Stay safe and be blessed everyone.

[@vinnyjosephcorrado4436]

I was there at the country club in San Fernando Valley CA. the night Metallica played there for first time with new member Jason Newsted. It's a small club only about 500 got in my friends and I were 8 of them. The concert was announced to only a small group of hard-core country club members which I was one of the masses. Metallica came on first and played a awesome set, then flotsam & Jetson came out and joined them then played a freaking amazing set with Jason with them. Folks sorry to you today's Metallica fans but flotsam & Jetson's set blew Metallica away. I'm a old Metallica fan after garage days revisited (one of my favorite albums along with ride the lightning) I wasn't into their next stuff way too pop meets metal. Anyways flotsam & Jetson kicks butt
