Christian Rock Rocks: Bradley Hathaway – A Thousand Angry Panthers
In this case, we have Bradley Hathaway , easily one of the best songwriters out there today. The acoustic singer-songwriter music that he plays is undoubtedly captivating and just shows his talent. The release of his new EP, titled A Thousand Angry Panthers marks some of his best work yet and possibly the peak of his career, that in fact, started off as spoken word poetry.
The music and songwriting on A Thousand Angry Panthers is heart-wrenching, being some of the most emotional music that I’ve heard in a while that really hits right to the heart. The opening song, “She Was Raised By a Man With a Sickness,” doesn’t fail to show this, with the delicate vocals from Hathaway, whose voice seems to be perfect for setting the mood, sounding very emotional itself. “Carolina” takes on more of a ballad form, complete with something of a small, dreary guitar solo towards the end.
“Would You Think Less of Me” is a song that recalls a life story of leaving loved ones and the pain of death and saying goodbye. The highlight and easily one of the strongest songs from Bradley Hathaway to date is the closer, “The World Is Screaming.” The lyrics are great, with lines such as “He came in the manger, He was born in the stable and He did what no man before Him was able.” There is also a constant acoustic guitar being strummed behind the vocals. The music to the song is great to, going beyond the acoustic stature and expanding to what sounds a full band effort, complete with the pounding drums that close out A Thousand Angry Panthers ever so nicely.

Jesusfreakhideout.com: Bradley Hathaway, "A Thousand Angry …
If there are two kinds of people in this world, they could easily up be divided into two categories: those who love Bradley Hathaway, and those who just haven’t heard of him yet. If you’re hanging out in the former camp, then you know that Hathaway put his successful slam poetry career behind him with his 2007 musical endeavor The Thing That Poets Write About, The Thing That Singers Sing About. A little over a year and a half later, he returned to the music scene with A Mouth Full Of Dust. If you’re one of the unlucky folks who haven’t been introduced to Hathaway’s music, then you may only know him by the vaguely unsettling title of his newest offering, A Thousand Angry Panthers. If this is where your journey with Bradley Hathaway begins, you could not have picked a better time. Despite its unfortunately short runtime, A Thousand Angry Panthers arguably packs in more depressingly awesome melodies and profound lyrics than any collection of songs so far this year.
The EP starts off with the cello-infused “She Was Raised By A Man With A Sickness,” heavy on the lyrical content and light on the instrumentation as it tells the story of an emotionally battered young woman. Next is the contemplative “Carolina,” a powerful ballad filled with spiritual commentary and an expertly placed guitar part. “Would You Think Less Of Me” hauntingly explores a life filled with feelings that push the limits of the storyteller. The EP closes with the brutal “The World Is Screaming” that begins with elevated levels of emotional tension and ends with a powerful crash of voices, instruments, and pure lamentation.
Lyrically, A Thousand Angry Panthers is brilliantly and tantalizingly dark. Bradley’s songwriting ability has always been adept thanks to his success with poetry, but for this EP, he’s kicked it up a notch. Musically, A Thousand Angry Panthers is the next step up from his previous record, A Mouth Full Of Dust, and the emotions run just as deep. If there are any flaw within the EP, it’s that the four songs are simply not enough– the flow of the album seems to deserve more music.
