Anyone who likes the classic Mega Man games, dystopian imagery or power rock should give The Protomen a try. Make sure you read the liner notes along with it so that you understand the story completely. It takes the very simple source material and weaves a story that's incredibly powerful, disturbing and philosophical. It raises a number of important questions: Are people responsible for the tyrants they put in power? Is keeping society free the responsibility of everyone? Should we trade freedom for security? Is liberty something we can be given, or must the people earn it? How much difference can one person make? In the face of insurmountable odds, should we struggle regardless? You may not find any answers in the lyrics, but you will certainly find a lot of great questions. Blended with music reminiscent of 8-bit video game soundtracks, it's an experience that any person born in the 80s can appreciate.
