Disposable Income - Snuff

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Die hard figure of the throbbing UK punk scene, Snuff return with a new album of more classic tunage. 'Mumb nuts' is 17 tracks of harmonic, shambolic luverly jubbly singalongs, me old china. Oi Oi saveloy, prepare to be amazed as you find your self falling down the apples and pears and straight into love with the cheeky melodies, blinding songman ship, lashings of hammond/joanna and trombone breaks guv'nor. There are some sterling tracks here: 'reach', 'another wet weekend at the tundra theme park', 'yuki'and the hardcore spunk up of 'Fu*k off'.... Read review

Advantages: Very influential, Funky jazz hiphop, makes you think, Totally positive messages
Disadvantages: This was their only album

...This album could be put in any number of catagories from Jazz&Blues to dance, hiphop and industrial.

True, the political correctness can be a little over the top at times but the Disposable Heros of Hiphoprisy are not a band designed for passive listening. These people are on a mission to make you think about things that you would otherwise blindly accept without a second thought. Unlike most hiphop groups, Hiphoprisy don't just sit there giving out abuse and negative messages. This album is the total opposite. In the same way as albums by bands like Consolidated the message here is saying 'Here are some facts, you don't have to believe it but if you do then do... Read review
