The music here is your above-average thrash stuff with a good, driving beat delivered by a tight band. The lyrical subject matter is interesting, too, with its criticism of prescription medication, people afraid to face adulthood, gangsta rap, and gangster life. Frankly, the only gripe I have about their delivery is their adherence to the now-cliché alternating screech/burp vocal style. Judging solely on the lyrics to “Crime Vs. Criminals,” I had no idea the Crips and Bloods had chapters in Saskatoon, Canada. Sheesh, you really do learn something new every day.
