Disco de Crazy Town: “Darkhorse (Explicit)”

Just when I thought Crazy Town had recovered from the "Butterfly" incident they broke up but left an amazing album behind. "Darkhorse" is the crazytown that should have made it big but critics decided to kill this band. Don't listen to the bad wrap, buy this album you wont be disappointed. It's not as much rapping and suprisingly more rock in certain songs. It's a wide range of music and an awsome CD that shoulda been more than what it was let to be.

It took me a long time to figure out just what to say about this album, mainly because it didn't grab me the same way The Gift of Game did, but also because I didn't know what to make of the incredible (and incredibly bizarre) criticism I've seen on this site about this band. Seriously, what can you say about Butterfly that you can't say about a hundred other grossly misrepresentative breakout hits? (Paging the Baha Men!)

They did a complete break from the freewheeling, genre-hopping styling of their debut album, apparently wanting to stick to their roots. The result is a fairly powerful, slightly not-work-safe outing from start to finish that...well, it sounds very similar to P.O.D.'s Satellite, in style if not in theology. Nothing earth-shaking or overly controversial, but then, that's never what they were going for.

This is an sophomore album that's a lot different from the first, which is good, but shoots more toward the mainstream which...well, it's not bad, but you expect a *little* more from a band that really had nothing to lose.

This Cd is cool man, its relaxed kick it type music...... ... it is rap but it gives us white boys a chance to be happy to say i listen to hip-hop anyways the CD is tight.... I suggest ya pick it up one day!!!

Just about a year and a half after becoming one-hit wonders with the instant hit "Butterfly," Crazy Town's second album Darkhorse was released. The album is a lot more grown-up than their first (not to mention more diverse), but this quality goes unnoticed since the album's only single, as of October 2003, was "Drowning." Not that it's a lousy song or anything -- it just wasn't radio-friendly and poppy enough to generate album sales.

The heavy-hitting tracks "Decorated" and "Take It to the Bridge" are the loudest songs on the album, and can be fairly classified in the rap metal department. "Battle Cry" is also pretty intense, but it's more of a hard rock song than a rap metal song. "Hurt You So Bad," "Drowning," "Change," and "Candy Coated" are smooth, serious, and melodic, instead of being completely, senselessly heavy. "Sorry" and "Beautiful" are the record's softest, slowest, and most toned-down cuts. Therefore, they would have been tremendous radio hits had they been released as singles.

As for the other two songs, they stand alone on the record. "Waste of My Time," a somewhat heavy hip-hop track, is the only really upbeat thing on Darkhorse. And the catchy "Skulls and Stars" is the only song on the album that is truly hip-hop.

But don't forget about the hidden tracks! Track 23 (!) is a happy little electronic-metal number (it reminds me of "Lollipop Porn" from their first album) called "Love Is in the Air," and track 32 is a humorous three-minute ditty called "I Remember the Days." God only knows why these two songs weren't included in the album's lineup along with the rest of the songs, but both songs show off Shifty and Epic's incredible songwriting skills.

everyone wants to talk crap about cxt but this was by far thier best work. Seth give bret a ring ang get back together, I think you guys were just starting to sound great.................
