OK, this one is a little controversial, but probably predictable if you've seen the beginning of this list. The Gift of Game is simply godlike rap metal. Every track has great production and lyrics. The hits are good, filler tracks are also amazing. Yeah i admit this is the most obvious cash grab in nu metal, but its still really fucking awesome

this is where Nu-Metal reached a new low that would plague the radio for years to come with everyone doing the bare minimum on a whole album, and writing a glorified pop song for the 'big hit'. Even the one hit song from here is so terrible, yes i said it "Butterfly" sucks, big time. their is little flow on much of the rapping here behind some of the most barebone basic chords present. Coal chamber may have made the blueprint in laziness in the genre, but Crazy Town Perfected it. I blame this album for giving bands like Trapt and Saliva a big hit on the radio. You know we live on a bad timeline when THIS is the band that got any sort of popularity while Nothingface got no recognition. and yes, this album is so bad that rather then going "listen to this, its so bad lol" i am gonna say, go listen to Nothingface instead, they deserve your attention way more then these 2 garbage ass hacks. This album is the reason people hate nu-metal, even with durst at his worst sounds better then these two. (yes i just said 'results may vary' is better then this album)

Crazy Town may very well be the reason why the nu-metal subgenre was and still is mocked to death. As is the case with just about every style of music, humankind has the ability to find enjoyable solo artists and bands in regards to this particular sound; if The Gift of Game has anything to say about that, Crazy Town aren't one of those groups. I can forgive the lack of innovation on here, but the amount of stupidity and flanderization is a whole different story. This band took the worst parts of nu-metal and seemingly doubled them for the fun of it. If these guys, Limp Bizkit and (hed) p.e. put up their dukes in front of neanderthals, the latter two acts would actually stand a chance. "Black Cloud" and "Butterfly" are legitimately fine tracks buried beneath this forgettable, idiotic mess of a debut album, though. These two songs aside, fuck this noise.
