Overview

XX. Század is a landmark rock album by the Hungarian band Beatrice, released in 1991 under the Quint label. Featuring a mix of hard rock, punk, and alternative styles, this album showcases the band’s bold lyrical themes and distinctive sound, rooted in Hungarian social and political commentary. With tracks written by Lugosi L., Nagy F., and Vedres J., XX. Század explores issues of modernity, work, and personal introspection with sharp wit and critical reflection.

The album opens with the title track, "XX. Század" (The 20th Century), setting the tone for the powerful and thought-provoking songs that follow. Other standout tracks include "8 Óra Munka" (Eight Hours of Work) and "Civilizáció" (Civilization), both touching on societal norms and the industrial age's impact on the individual. The eclectic mix of lyrics and dynamic instrumental compositions makes this album a cornerstone of Hungarian rock music in the '90s.
