    *CD EDITION INLCUDES ARTWORK BOOKLET (CONCERTINA 12 PAGE BOOKLET) BY NIC ENDO

    Atari Teenage Riot’s first album released through L.A. future stomp label Dim Mak,
    is an acetylene laced documentation of ATR’s re-ignition after an eleven year silence.
    Produced, mixed, recorded with Alec Empire, Nic Endo and new ATR member CX Kidtronik (Saul Williams / Nine Inch Nails)
    at ATR’s fourth studio release was made at the Hellish Vortex studio in Berlin.

    A cultural cold war divided upon class lines, a new age of surveillance,
    heroes’ incarcerated in the worst conditions possible for speaking out against the military complex,
    a corrupt press core owned by multi-national corporations and raised to repeat sound bytes.
    This is the post-cyberpunk world on the brink of collapse Atari Teenage Riot’s fourth album "Is This Hyperreal?" is born into.

    Every track is a iridescent explosion of nervous energy requesting your attendance in Atari Teenage Riot’s campaign party of education and awareness.

    Having influenced a generation of M.I.A., Crystal Castles, Le Tigre, Sleigh Bells, and Pendulum,
    Atari Teenage Riot is a welcome shot in the arm of the music industry.

I broke the code – the code broke me

Actions speak louder than clicks
Actions speak louder than clicks!!!!!!


The pentagon was hacked
By a 14 year old kid
ATARI! TEENAGE! RIOT!
Disrupts the national powergrid!

Illegal Rave To Freedom?
The evolution of the mind
Pills are swallowed for a reason
I broke the code – the code broke me!


to the C to the O to the D to the E to the B to the R to the E to the A to the K to the E to the R

I broke the code – the code broke me

nicendo
The dolls are sleeping in soft beds
Their survival can be sweet
While humanity is swiftly lost
My gun’s loaded to a drumbeat


to the C to the O to the D to the E to the B to the R to the E to the A to the K to the E to the R
I broke the code – the code broke me




My Fist, my fist – I bang my fist
Against a concrete wall
My prison cell is my cockpit
I broke the code – the code broke me

Some people do aweful things to survive
Some people do aweful things to survive
Some people do aweful things to survive!!!!!


Dictators and popstars
They never tell you why they’re really here
They got their own ways of ‚helping’ people
I broke the code – the code broke me

They think it will be good for you
Because we still have powers that they don’t
And because we still have powers that they don’t
We can do what they can’t!!!! HEY!

Codebreaker

I broke the code – the code broke me


Some people_have_trouble adjusting
Some people_have_trouble adjusting
Some people_have_trouble adjusting
Actions speak louder than clicks!!!!

Your crimes are your crimes alone
and you must deal with them
we don’t ask for permissions
because permissions are not granted!

Codebreaker!!!!!!
