The Album cover is a clear homage to Public Enemys' "Yo! Bum Rush the Show", and has that albums' feel in terms of raw energy... This is both a blessing and a curse. The down-side to this is that the album does feel a little dated in places. ..But it also has a sense of humor (the 'skit' tracks are reminiscent of De La Soul).. If there is a Hip-Hop revival going on; then theses boys are gonna be at the front of it. One for the Old Skool Hip-Hoppers out there. ...But expect bigger and better in the future.. |

It's too late.. Same old thing... |
I reviewed the single Has It Come To This.. some time ago - loved it - and was egarly awaiting the album.. Underneath the london twang ("Raght mah saaaahn; dant mess... Nah git aaght before I 'ammer yer Nigaras!") there is actually a very fresh Garage album.. Excellent. ..but could someone explain what The Irony of it All is all about ? Another day in the life of a geezer! Indeed. |
