So what makes each successive Centro-matic release (and this makes, I don't know, a dozen?) so consistently moving? It's Johnson's voice, always seeming on the verge of breaking in half, straining under the weight of the emotion he piles on top of every syllable. Each song is a game of Jenga he plays with listeners' hearts and heads, where every word could send the entire thing scuttling to the floor. You get the drill one song in, when the title track's story of sullied soldiers and corrupt cameras doesn't hit home as hard as the nonsensical ba-ba-da-da-do fade-out does. Except it's not really nonsensical. Not when Johnson's singing it. When he's at the microphone, every song is like a Mexican soap opera. You might not understand the words, but you know what they mean.
