Robert Jackson's Personal Jesus starts off with a title track that bears a somewhat quiet, yet charging riff that slowly escalates into an angry assault as Robert tells you all the things that he would do if he, for lack of a better word, could convince anyone that he was a prophet. The solo isn't bad either. Highlighting both the good (making crooked politicians all confess) and the bad (ruling with an iron fist). Indeed much of the album is light-sounding, yet with dark, lyrical undertones. Such as in "Dead Yuppies on the Highway" (hey, who wouldn't love to see dead yuppies on the highway?). The album showcases sarcasm, social commentary (the beautiful "Gunfire in the Distance" and somewhat spicey "Blood on Their Hands") and towards the end Robert isn't afraid to liven up the mood with light-hearted introspective flair ("Alice Linz", "Dreams That Can't be Found") and Robert knows just the right places to fit some nice solos too.
