P.O.S Audition |
Its got flow, consistency, a message, and most importantly, intelligence (something that is all but gone from the modern world of hip-hop). This is an album for those that have become discontent with the seemingly endless sea of mindless, incoherent, and formulaic radio hip-hop that centers more around making money and classifying women as sex objects than providing decent music with a positive message. As previously stated, his flow is unique and consistent, the political ideologies are fierce and in the forefront, and its all pulled off with the "punk-rock" attitude of a man who once held the genre of hip-hop in disdain.
DISCLAIMER: Hardcore Republican's beware; phrases such as "f*** Bush" may be to abundant for your liking... |

Chiodos Bone Palace Ballet - The Grand Coda |
Its Bone Palace Ballet + 4 alleged "b-sides" that are better than most songs on the album proper. Had BPB included these four songs and done away with a few of the lackluster ones on the initial release, it would have been a much better album. All four extra tracks are heavier than everything on the album (save for The Undertaker's Thirst...), and show what BPB could have been had it not focused on trying to create an overly symphonic post-hardcore opera.
The DVD is fairly similar to any other DVD nowadays. It contains live footage (which is decent) and some behind the scenes stuff of the band goofing off on the tour bus and outside random venues. Basically, if you enjoyed BPB, this would be worth the extra cash. If you weren't a big fan, just download the 4 new tracks off of iTunes or something...
Also, this will not do anything to change your mind about Craig Owens for those who can't stand him... |
