All the songs fall into Wait's characteristic experimentalism and cannot be pigeonholed into any single genre. The album does a very nice job of expressing the sentiments and themes of Woyzeck in a modern voice. The lyrics deal with extreme bitterness and anger towards oppression. The commentary of the album is very powerful when it is played side-by-side with an understanding of the story.
The challenge: re-read Woyzeck, listen to Blood Money, and think about how the two relate to the state of the poor and voiceless in our world today.
