Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off
"Sorry Haterz" by PizzaMachine is a fascinating fusion of crunkcore, pop, and hip-hop that manages to bridge the gap between nostalgia for early crunkcore and a contemporary twist. The album's playful approach is evident in its two cover songs, featuring a crunkcore rendition of "Party Rock Anthem" and a pop-industrial take on Otep's "Blood Pigs."
The lyrics of the album oscillate between moments of seriousness and pure goofiness. The tracks touch on themes of partying, the joys of ice cream, and the simplicity of sitting on a couch. "Expensive" takes a unique perspective on the world's financial woes, highlighting the indifference towards economic struggles. Meanwhile, "Rap Song 2" showcases PizzaMachine's serious rap skills with a barrage of bars, adding depth to the album's versatility.
The standout "No Fucks Given" channels the vibe of a 2000s pop hit, showcasing the album's ability to effortlessly navigate different styles. The combination of aggressive and poppy music, accompanied by occasional screams, adds a dynamic layer to the overall listening experience.
"Sorry Haterz" seems to masterfully balance the line between parody and serious musical expression. Whether it's the satirical celebration of carefree living or the moments of genuine reflection, the album delivers a unique and entertaining listening experience that pays homage to crunkcore's roots while infusing it with a contemporary flair.
