RRV2011 MAD AT THE WORLD - BOOMERANG 637405147162
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BOOMERANG....
They've still got that singer (Roger Rose) but most everything else has changed, and now play near-metal guitar rock with buzz saw axes and drums that hit you in the chest.
Tony Cummings / Cross Rhythms Music (U.K.)
The next three outings reflect the band’s second phase. Gritty guitars rule, keyboards are all but banished, and real drums replace synthesized rhythm machines. Rose also tones down his faux British accent and acquires more of the vocal snarl of a Jim Morrison or Billy Idol. Mark Allan Powell / Encyclopedia of CCM

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Dive into the 1991 alternative rock landscape with MAD AT THE WORLD's Boomerang, a pivotal album that marked the band’s evolution in musical style. This reissue, meticulously remastered by Rob Colwell, brings new life to the classic tracks that defined an era.
Boomerang showcases a rich variety of styles, each song with its unique theme and sound. From the high-energy opener "House of Sin" to the dark and atmospheric "If You Listen," the album vividly depicts themes of spiritual struggle and transformation.
Tracks like "Back to You" and "Don't Give Up" highlight the band's ability to craft memorable melodies and harmonies, with the latter drawing comparisons to the mid-90s rock vibe of Stone Temple Pilots. The poignant "Ballad of Adam and Eve" and the hard-hitting "Sunday" showcase the band's versatility, from tender love themes to grittier, Alice In Chains-like tones. "Draggin' the Chains," co-written by bassist Brent Gordon, delves into the depths of sin and redemption, offering powerful lyrics and a compelling narrative.
Perhaps the most controversial track, "Isn't Sex a Wonderful Thing?" uses biting sarcasm to critique modern attitudes towards love and purity, reflecting the band's fearless approach to challenging societal norms. The album closes with a robust reprise of "No More Innocence," transforming the original keyboard-driven track into a full-force rock anthem.
This reissue of Boomerang, part of Retroactive Records' Legends Remastered Series, is limited to 200 units and comes in a stunning Boomerang Blue vinyl. This is the very first time the album has ever been released on vinyl, making it a must-have for collectors and fans. Experience one of the best Christian alternative albums ever, revitalized for a new generation of listeners.
