"avoid at all costs"?
hey, man, moderate, please...
you probably don't dig guitars and heavy-like musics, but the Goats had some things to say, even in their second album.
i don't appreciate it that much, i was even quite sad to listen what the guys did at first, but anyway, they change. it's good enough to consider it not like a "avoid at all costs" type of lp. and there's a lots of brilliants tracks too in their second.
"commercial over-produced misplaced gangsta-ism"?
man... does anybody really listen this stuff? i wonder what the AJlist could think about it. caution : it's true, there's some reminiscences of ice T's bodycount, on a musical plan... but, i mean, the lyrics, even if it's not highly political and social moralistic phrases, it's not gangsta rap, uh?
peace
