This is also the album when Russkaja finally find their sound: A solid ska base with pretty much anything you can add on top: Punk/Metal (Autodrom/Dikije Deti), Rap (Radost Moja), other culture's influences (Istambul/Violina Mia) and something that would define their sound: they go full polyglot on this one. Overall really good fun, interesting and varied ideas and a very solid execution.Russkaja Russian VoodooStill early Russkaja, but a much more solid effort than their first. Choruses are catchier, structures are tighter, production is cleaner. Overall it feels like an obvious progression from Kasatchok Superstar but with an added 2 years of experience, and they show. Even if the album is still pretty straight ska, it's of the highest quality. It tops at a 4 only because it's not that original, but it's one of the funniest albums to listen.Streetlight Manifesto Everything Goes NumbStreetlight Manifesto The Hands That ThieveTrivium ShogunTrivium In WavesTrivium The Sin and the SentenceWarbringer Worlds Torn Asunder3.5 greatAnthrax State of EuphoriaAnthrax Worship MusicAnthrax For All KingsArch Enemy Doomsday MachineBody Count BloodlustBradio FreedomBullet for My Valentine Scream Aim FireJinjer King of EverythingJudas Priest Angel of RetributionMachine Head Through the Ashes of EmpiresNevermore The Politics of EcstasyNevermore The Obsidian ConspiracyRusskaja KosmopoliturboRusskaja Kasatchok SuperstarThis is some good ska, with a little bit of experimentation here and there. It's still early Russkaja and you can notice they're still looking for their sound, but nonetheless the album is full of bangers, even in they might be a little generic.

Most songs in this album are rather predictable, uninspired and an obvious effort to cash in on the popularity that Energia gave them.rThe best moments of this album are, precisely, the cuts when Russkaja drops the mid-tempo, radio friendly ska and go full Energia: Rock'n Roll Today; Slap Your Face; You Are the Revolution; Peace, Love & Russian Roll and specially El Pueblo Unido (although this album's version would fade to obscurity compared to the superior re-recording present in No One Is Illegal). The best songs of this album are far superior to anything in Energia, but the most boring ones also fall short of even their less memorable in Kasatchok Superstar.rOverall it's a pretty meh album, but the highs are really high. I'd say a 3 is fair.Scars on Broadway Scars on BroadwayScars on Broadway DictatorTrivium AscendancyTrivium The Crusade2.5 averageAnthrax Sound of White NoiseArch Enemy Khaos LegionsAvenged Sevenfold Avenged SevenfoldBullet for My Valentine FeverMegadeth YouthanasiaMegadeth Cryptic WritingsMegadeth Th1rt3enTrivium Ember to InfernoTrivium Vengeance FallsTrivium Silence in the Snow2.0 poorAnthrax Stomp 442Anthrax Volume 8: The Threat Is RealJinjer MacroMegadeth The World Needs a HeroMegadeth Super Collider
