Crazy Town Album: “The Gift Of Game (Explicit)”

Usually I don't give CDs a 4-star rating, much less a 5-star unless they're really good. "The Gift of Game" is a really good CD. From the Limp Bizkit-like "Toxic" to the soothing beats of "Butterfly", this CD covers alot of genres. The best song on this CD is probably "Lollipop Porn" - it has a rockin' beat, well-placed guitars, good scratching in the background, and nice vocals. Go out and buy this CD, no matter what kind of music you like. It'll be worth the money.

Bad timing for Crazy Town to release their debut album 7 days after RATM released The Battle Of Los Angeles, and 7 days before KoRn released Issues, but hopefully more people will discover them. I discovered them by getting a flyer stuck on my car after a Limp Bizkit concert. Needed new music anyway, bought the CD, frickin' loved it. =)

I have always loved hip hop and bands like 311, rage, I used to like Limp Bizkit, but this cd that I bought on a tip from a friend is undoubtably the best cd i have gotten in A long time, very few groups grab my attention on the first listen like this. Buy this

Crazy Town is definetly the band of the future. They combine rap and metal in a way that is unlike anyone else. This is no Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit or any of that. What this is is a totally new level of rapcore. They combine the rhyming skills of rap godfathers Dr. Dre and Ice Cube with the thick guitar chords of Korn or Incubus. And yet they still cease to sound like any one of those. Songs like "Darkside" "Toxic" "Think Fast" and "Hollywood Babylon" are smooth, fast and furious rap metal. The best song on here, "Black Cloud" features Jay Gordon of Orgy, and is a dark, soothing, melodic song. "Butterfly" is their version of a love song, and "B Boy 2000" pits KRS-One against Epic and Shifty in one of the best collaborations ever. If you just pass this off as a bunch of wiggers with guitars, then you are mistaken my friend. Look for this band to blow up and make it big someday soon.

First off I didn't like Crazy Town mainly because of there looks. There looks really turned me away from the cd at first when I saw the Butterfly video on MTV. After I heard the cd in one of my friends cars all I could say was DAMN. So I bought the cd and learned how to ignore their looks and just enjoy the cd. Crazy Town really reminds me of two groups, which are the old school Beasties Boys (how Shifty and Epic alternate versus), and Linkin Park on how they sing and the use of all of the instruments, sound effects, etc. If you like the old school Beastie Boys and Linkin Park I would buy this cd. If their looks are keeping you from buying the cd, ignore them because I am trying to and the cd is crazy.
