R.A. finds him self taking an even more outspoken stance, while obviously evolving musically. Songs like "Upside Down", "In America", and the title track "This Means War!" make this clear. For the last three years his musical mission has been assisted by a fresh crop of producers from all around the world: 7wounds (Maryland), Rendesten (Denmark) -- who Sun R.A. describes as "a straight up prodigy", Crippled Chemist (California), KP (Finland), and others. And of course, the One Man Army is still known to take
