Justin TimeI don't know man...I was pretty excited about getting this album, I mean we're talking about some solid players here - Dave Lombardo, DJ Spooky, even Chuck D (who also makes a freaky little appearance on the Utah Saints album, Two) drops a few lines. With this album, Drums of Death (killer name for an album, too) I expected abstract, I expected power, I expected expanded consiousness and really, I got none. Instead, I got wimpy, weird and whatever. It's really too bad. Check out DJ Spooky's File Under Futurism and Modern Mantra albums for the no-trix, real deal. Listen to Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet for Chuck D in true form.
