Even In Darkness [PA] - Dungeon Family

Advantages: Some bg tunes
Disadvantages: Some bad tracks

...to create a good base for the track. I feel that the beat reflects the title well. "Good Hair" (Interlude) "We Luv Deez Hoez" (feat. BackBone & Big Gipp) **Three Stars** This samples "Worldwide" which was performed by Allen Toussaint, the beat it very jumpy. The delivery of the lyrcs are done in a typiccal from the artists, Big Boi with a great deal of speed and Dre in his very unorthadox ways. Two members of The Dungeon Family appear on this track along side OutKast's duo, this is helping them up in the world, to gget them nticed as The Dungeon Family's most successful act. "Humble Mumble" (feat. Erykah Badu) **Five Stars** I like this one alot becasue of the delivery of the lyrics. Andre 3000 is the one who, for once, provides the fast, hard-hitting lyrics to the listener. It is incredible how they can come up with so much to say... Read review

Advantages: Very entertaining, and musical
Disadvantages: A lot of the songs sound similar. Only a small audience.

...you start to like them. This album became number 1 in the UK album charts in 2001 when it was released. IOWA has to be the best piece of music that nine people as one have put together - EVER! Even when you open the insert in the case, you are blown away by the dark and sincere graphics that have lyrics scrawled all over them. This album is a piece of musical genius! IOWA - Buy It!! 10 / 10 definitely!... Read review

Advantages: A return to the 70's, written from the heart, brilliantly produced
Disadvantages: Not a commercial success

...It really couldn't be much better than this. As a sound recording, or as a live performance the music contained on this album really is extraordinary. Gone are monotonous performances from dreary fake rockers, The Darkness have (with this album even more than their first one) brought back the 1970's. They are a band who really didn't care that this didn't sell brilliantly, along with the singles on it, they were far more bothered that people had a great time when listening to their music. This may sound very naive, however it really is true - I have never known a band to appear so devoted and happy with unsuccussful work than the Darkness do here. This is an album from the heart, and all of the songs are very deep and considered - all of them are easily single-quality. Space fillers? No, there really are none. And the production...
