3.0 goodJared Floryan | September 2nd 16

Say what you will about Chuck Mosley's tenure with alternative metal megaliths Faith No More, but there is no denying whatever promise Chuck had as a singer coupled with some snazzy material that comprised both We Care a Lot and Introduce Yourself; said records often get overlooked due to the vocals alone. Chuck Mosley wasn't always on-key - which, granted, is an understatement - but he sure as shit didn't come off as soulless. The man played a role in shaping the rap rock sound and even common detractors of FNM's first two studio offerings can find something to respect as well as like about the "We Care a Lot" song. Regarding Mosley's debut solo effort Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food, there's a certain charm to this affair that just makes it tough to avoid from beginning to end. Admittedly the songwriting presented misses a bit more than it hits and the pacing of the album here is inconsistent, though by no means is Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food a misfire. For the most part, it's instrumentally tight (if unsurprising) and Chuck himself technically sounds better compared to the fluff he ejected on Faith's pre-The Real Thing work. Honestly the album on the whole would've been fresh from a stylistic perspective 'round two decades ago, yet putting the dated music aside, Chuck Mosley's solo project's first official release is pretty nice for what he was going for. Angel recommends: "The Enabler," "Tractor," "Pile Driver," and "Bob Forest".

it has its really good spots, but overall lacks interesting songwriting and it has a weezer meets numetal sound
