The Fierce Urgency of Now is a record from Philadelphia, PA's Passion. Fans of hardcore and metalcore will appreciate Passion's intensity and technicality; if you're looking for breakdowns and fast-paced music, you will enjoy this album. If you aren't, you'll hate it. "Statistics Show That We Do Not Care" packs a punch, delivering lyrics against child molestation and an ear-catching breakdown. "Patriot for a Day" contains a great message about contrived patriotism in America. All in all, Passion's music is just above generic, but their lyrics are insightful. You'll need the lyrics book to decipher the words, otherwise you're left with a run-of-the-mill metalcore album.
