VICTIMS - THE HORSE AND SPARROW THEORY

For those who like and know the band, musically The Horse and Sparrow Theory follows the same very characteristic line of them that is a good mix of Swedish and American hardcore on the eight tracks that make up the album, highlighting "The Horse and Sparrow Theory", "The Birth of Tragedy", "We Fail" (the speaker is Brigadier General Stephen Cheney, speaker of the Swedish Institute of Internal Affairs, UI Podcast, episode "The Climate Change and Security - Nexus"), "The Sea and Poison" and "Revenge of Our Fathers". As far as the album title is concerned and according to economist John Kenneth Galbraith, "trickle-down economics" had already been tried in the United States of America since 1990 under the name "horse and sparrow theory". The name, then, refers to the idea that "if you give enough oats to feed the horse, a little bit will fall for the sparrows on the road to eat it". Galbraith claims that the horse and sparrow theory was responsible for the 1896 Panic, an acute economic depression that the United States of America would have suffered that year. The Horse and Sparrow Theory is Victims' eighth album and was released in 2019. Good.

Pra quem curte e manja a banda, musicalmente, The Horse and Sparrow Theory segue com a mesma pegada bem característica deles, que é uma boa mistura de hardcore sueco com americano nas oitos faixas que compõem o álbum, destacando "The Horse and Sparrow Theory", "The Birth of Tragedy", "We Fail" (a pessoa que fala é o palestrante Brigadeiro General Stephen Cheney, do Instituto Sueco de Assuntos Internos, UI Podcast, episódio "The Climate Change and Security - Nexus"), "The Sea and Poison" e "Revenge of Our Fathers". No que se refere ao título do álbum e de acordo com o economista John Kenneth Galbraith, a "economia do gotejamento" já havia sido tentada nos Estados Unidos desde 1990 sob o nome de "teoria do cavalo e do pardal" (em inglês: horse and sparrow theory). O nome, então, se refere à ideia de que "se você der aveia o suficiente para alimentar o cavalo, um pouco irá cair para que os pardais na estrada o comam". Galbraith afirma que a teoria do cavalo e do pardal foi a responsável pelo Pânico de 1896, depressão econômica aguda que os Estados Unidos teriam sofrido aquele ano. The Horse and Sparrow Theory é oitavo álbum dos Victims e foi lançado em 2019. Maneiro.
