Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

For the masses this side of the Atlantic, West Virginia is perhaps a remanent of the old romantic notion of what the United States of America was once a representation of, a state carved out of its own seceded ideals from something larger and because it wanted its own vision, its truth to be plain and easily forged. Like the revolution guns that started on Boston Common and the and the anger of tax imposed by a grander authority, what West Virginia means to those who live without this purpose cannot be easily defined but the music that holds the beauty together is one of unshakable cool and distinct authority.
