It's A Cold Ass World/The Beginning - Chris Thomas King

Advantages: Clever political songs with great hooks
Disadvantages: Sweary, bit samey for the non-punk fan

...a pretty strong intro track with some good guitar riffery and double-time drumming leading into a pretty standard tune. No verse-chorus-verse structure, more like a rant set to music. #2 – Head? Chest? ør Foot? A nitty-gritty anti-establishment song, another stream-of-consciousness style song, more like a polemic than poetry. It’s fairly obvious that, this being a punk CD, you should except copious swears and “adult situations”. They’re not spread too wide-rife but if you’re easily offended – why buy a punk CD? >:) Great central riff in this song, but nothing else to set it apart as a strong contender for the finest track. #3 – HATE, MYTH, MUSCLE, ETIQUETTE This is my favourite. “We need a good kick in the ass,” shouts Jesus H Chris, the lead singer (real name Chris, but let’s...

Advantages: Several hits, outrageously funny
Disadvantages: Almost a comedy album, few serious tracks

Not my favourite song on the album, but catchy none the less. 13. "Keep It on the Hush" 6.5/10 - A gospel-sounding song that begins with a preacher addressing his congregation, with Ludacris then bizarrely going on to talk about having quiet sex. Not the best lyrical content, the beat is good enough. 14. Word of Mouf (Freestyle) 7/10 - A freestyle with a beatbox backing, Ludacris displays some fine lyrical ability. For example: "You think it's all practical jokes and big bloopers But i smack bitches with no titties that work at hooters" 15. Get the Fuck Back 7... Read review
