T

his 5-song second CD from The Gods Hate Kansas is dynamically diverse, with more musical experimentation. Still based in punk, emo and rock, they branch out more here. Song lyrics are the same insightful protest. This CDEP is also a CDROM, with both issues of The Gods Hate Kansas zine, show posters, mp3s, and best of all, a fully produced video for 'Gorilla Suits are Expensive These Days.'
