"Voted the best alternative rock band in the 1991 Heaven's Metal readers poll, Mad
At The World refuses to compromise stylistically or lyrically. Choosing
to avoid buzzwords and pat phrases, mainstay member Roger Rose opts for
expressing the principles that define daily living and continues to
stretch the musical and lyrical parameters of our industry. Boomerang, the
band's fourth release on Alarma
Records, is an album that may make some uncomfortable, but then
sin, rebellion, sexual infidelity and demonic oppression are not 'feel
good' issues. Yet in the midst of these difficulties MATW paints a
picture of healing and promise, encouraging each of us to cling to that
which can only come from a personal relationship with God. Boomerang is based on Galatians
6:7&8 - in essence, whatever you throw out in word or deed will
come back to you just like a boomerang."
