The Principle of Doubt 04:48. 3. Once I Believed 04:30. On the air Words od wisdom spread across the land And nod your head in faithful trust in me. So senseless - there's no doubt about it So senseless - when you hear the latest news So senseless - you'll accept my opinion So senseless - as plain facts and truth. TV se. ts and the radio We bring real life to your homes This is the question of trust Politicians Talking about affairs that don't concern you Just close your eyes and drift away. Switch on the TV And you will find life's so much brighter with us This is the question of trust Come home from work Feeling weary and out.

The Principle of Doubt is the third album by the German progressive, thrash metal band Mekong Delta, released in 1989. The album is loosely based on Stephen R. Donaldson's dark fantasy trilogy, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever. All music composed by Ralph Hubert, except where indicated. Lyrics by Mekong Delta. Arrangements for group and orchestra of track 6 by Mekong Delta, arrangements for drum and bass of track 9 by Michael and Hubert. A Question of Trust (Cyberpunk 1)" - 3:27.

Mekong Delta has always been a collective of fiercely talented individuals, but once again I struggle to comprehend how Rolf Stein and Uwe Baltrusch managed to come up with their guitar work. Their airy, staccato chugs, low end driving mutes, dazzling crescendos of melody, sweeping, haunting solos and efficient power chords are stuffed into a maelstrom of creative rage, nothing short of impressive. Of course Ralph Hubert also adds fuel to fire with his plummeting, virtuoso bass licks, along Jörg Michael’s jazzy, flippant drumming that matches well with the unorthodox nature of the songs  . I always considered The Principle of Doubt as Mekong Delta's "gothic/thrash metal" album. Music is classical-tinged thrash, but the atmosphere is gothic metal. CaliggyJack December 27th 2016.

The Principle of Doubt is the third Mekong Delta full length and perhaps the best proof of life of the band's manic, schizo thrash progression to date, before they took a slight dive in quality through their even more highbrow 90s conceptual material  . This album is actually the best place to start if you're mining Mekong's classic catalog for the first time, and it certainly secured the band in the company of other tech thrash wizards like Watchtower, Realm, Toxik, or the then-recent transformation of Deathrow.

Album The Principle of Doubt. The Principle Of Doubt Lyrics. The old bum - over there - holds a sign saving The only way for you to live - never stop trying A little boy - hands a note - over to me The message there - on that note - is simple and clear Don't ever leave the path - you have been walking on Don't ever change - your ways, your ways - of getting alone No chance for.
