Great review of The Last Conspirators new album on the international music database All Music Guide written by Senior Editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine! Here it is: Theres defiance in the very name of the Last Conspirators, so they didnt need to call their third album A Celebration of Fury, but then again, subtlety isnt a tool in the bands arsenal. Theyre true believers, keeping the rock & roll flame burning even if it may no longer be fashionable to do so. Not that this quartet cares much for fashion. Protest and passion are at the forefront, with the band often coming across like an Americanized, middle-aged version of the Clash. None of this is intended as a slight. the Last Conspirators are proudly American, waging war against complacency and cherishing the rebels and outsiders on the fringes of American culture. Similarly, they like playing music thats part of the tradition and they wear their scars proudly, playing with the gravity and ballast that survivors have. If the group doesnt innovate on A Celebration Fury, they never suggest that this is on their minds, either. Theyre all about raging against the light, whether its dying or burning bright, and if you share their dyed-in-the-wool rebel stance, this celebration of fury is bound to be somewhat invigorating. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
