Análisis (en inglés) - :

In the liner notes that {$Blackie Lawless} wrote for {^Dying for the World}, {$W.A.S.P.}'s founder/lead singer angrily declares, "F*ck political correctness; that went down with the World Trade Center." Of course, being politically correct is something that {$Lawless} has never been accused of. Back in the '80s, his over-the-top antics offended people of all political persuasions. {$Lawless} always loved to be shocking -- {$Alice Cooper} and {$Ozzy Osbourne} taught him well -- but on {^Dying for the World}, the veteran headbanger never gets into shock value for the sake of shock value. This 2002 release has a consistently serious tone, and that seriousness was, to a large degree, inspired by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. {$Lawless}' liner notes assert that when the World Trade Center became a mass grave, he was determined to record an album that expressed his anger -- and {^Dying for the World} is definitely angry. However, {$Lawless}' lyrics don't necessarily come across as overtly political. {&"Revengeance,"} {&"Stone Cold Killers,"} and {&"Hell for Eternity"} call for the destruction of those who destroyed Manhattan's Twin Towers, but the songs are worded in such a way that if you didn't read {$Lawless}' liner notes, you wouldn't necessarily know that he was railing against al-Qaeda terrorists. Similarly, the moving {&"Hallowed Ground"} was inspired by {$Lawless}' October 2001 visit to what New Yorkers now call "Ground Zero," although he doesn't mention the World Trade Center by name. And not every track has to do with terrorism; the haunting {&"Trail of Tears,"} for example, is about the oppression of Native Americans. Musically, {^Dying for the World} breaks no new ground for {$W.A.S.P.}, which sticks to an '80s-like sound -- and for die-hard fans of '80s {\metal}, that isn't a bad thing. Not all of {$W.A.S.P.}'s albums have been consistent, but this excellent CD is arguably the band's strongest, most focused release since the '80s. [The Japanese issue adds three different versions of tracks from {^Dying for the World}, including a {\karaoke} version of {&"Revengeance."}] ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
