There might be no shortage of lines that pander to the "real hip-hop" mouth-breathers, but WaterWorld III shows how to make a good throwback record to the classics, one of which Binary Star had created seventeen years before this. First and foremost, the production, which harkens back to Masters Of The Universe not only in style, but with use of samples and chopping from the record itself. It's got a nice, gritty, old-school boom bap feel, and the lyrics touch on many societal issues as relative to the world today, almost like and version of their most well known record, which was in itself and version of their debut. Don't take this as they're just re-hashing; rather, it's clear a lot of thought went into this one, not only from the oftentimes clever lyrics and encompassing production, but from the plethora of guest verses from some prominent and up-and-coming members of the underground from Detroit and the surrounding areas, all of which are pretty great. Never say GoodBinary.
