Been listening to this album for at least a decade. Sat at a train station, this rolls on. Think "huh, this could be about Helldivers if you mixed it up a bit." Of course someone thought of that first.
First it was the mobile infantry, then it was the colonial marines, then it was the imperial guard, then it was the ODSTs, now it’s the Helldivers. The song of the grunt has many accents but the voice stays the same
This is the shitsec/Colonial Marines theme, Some Kind Of Hero is just the station life in general, One Last Battle is NSV13... Yeah this album is a goldmine for us 2D spessmen xD

You know, im greateful for you doing HD versions of these, but there is just something about the original with the distortion from the tape that just adds to the atmosphere the songs are making

I would say it's specifically about Vietnam. The line that dates it is "guns that jam and spray like hell, with stocks made by Mattel" - the M16 battle rifle, introduced in Vietnam, was initially unpopular because a) the first few thousand weren't issued with proper maintenance instructions and tended to break down and b) it had a plastic stock rather than the wooden stock of the M14 (some of which were indeed made by Mattel).

That it does
I like how many of these song can be used to describe space station 13

Its comforting to think that Mattel is still around, and they're making weapons now.
If ur american Chances are good the same people who made ur washing machine also make the main gun for the a-10
Texas Instruments. The same people who make those calculators for schools also make the guidance systems for some of our missiles.
boy, this is almost exactly what MY recruiter said, minus the space parts
SAME
Some things never change...with a few changes, this would make sense to Gilgamesh's forces.

You know what I'll pass
Its every military past present and future.
Okay this song and Bitch Song in the Finity's End album are actually every single military past, present and furture

When it comes to the Imperial Guard, don't worry about not wanting to sign up; you'll likely not get a choice, Conscript!
This album makes for good music to listen to while playing RimWorld
Or stellaris...or space station 13...or FTL...actually for a lot of stuff
"Prisoner Recruitment success"
FOR DEMOCRACY!
Managed Democracy!

I use the distorted ones in our retro space opera TTRPG ^-^
The Imperial Guard theme song according to my gaming crew.
The theme song of armies, shall you temper with it a bit
Hey I heard that line before... Then I was in the military and found out they lied😂
Your father and brothers are all furries. I, Rogal Dorn, have spoken.
I can see Guardsmen humming to this in their trenches, or while on transport
Damn, HD version! Do you think you could do the same with Free Fall & Other Delights
If we ever get it, we will, I wish we could though.
FF&OD is now up!
I'm doing my part!
Welcome to the Roughnecks!
Rest well, man.
The Helldivers want you!
I came back to this song right playing helldiver's
The Astra Militarum theme

Many.
I keep hearing about 2D spessmans in the comments of these, but I've never heard of it anywhere else, What is it?

Wacky ss13 cm
Throne bless the Imperial Guard. 😂😂😂
I was at Cadia dude... and it sucked!
I love it.
Nobody here is talking how Mike Pondsmith is singing bass here lol
Pondy is an old school Filker
Also check him out on Desolation Valley on Leslie's Firestorm. He's all I hear now when I listen to it.
What is that really him?
Why doesn't my grenade throw tho
This has to have been written by a Vietnam vet.

So when are they going to make this the space force's official song
Idk if you're checking comments Songs from the Stars but this song played immediately after my last comment lmfao
Is this just about the Marines?
