Occasionally in life, when you have nowhere to go but a depraved battlefield, all you need is a practical warhammer and call it a night. On the album known as Back 2 Base X, (hed) Planet Earth - for short, (hed) p.e. - are pretty much heading into a fight with these basic weapons and seeing what works. To their credit, Jahred Gomes and his anarchy-driven cronies have a mostly fun record on their hands. The band's combined flavor of punk rock and hip hop meet up with influences of ska and the results could've been worse, though simultaneously speaking, (hed) p.e.'s efforts could've ended up in a better, more filler-less condition. It is with an open mind that I can say that, to be fair, Back 2 Base X is far from inconsistent and has a very nice amount of replay value. Recommended tracks: "Novus Ordos Clitorus," "White Collars," "Sophia," and "Let's Ride".
