About "Major General Despair (Live at Brixton Academy, 4/18/1987)" by Conflict
'Major General Despair' marches with grim satire, its title a caricature of military fatalism. The live version bristles with gallows humor, balancing calm, chanted verses against explosive choruses—a portrait of unease where authority's pomp collapses into punk's chaotic mockery.
