3.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding., May 2, 1999

This review is from: Bad Blood (Audio CD)

When I first put this CD in, I expected to hear the usual sludge-core that I expect from Justin Broadrick's guitar work in his main project, Godflesh. What I got was the complete opposite. On this CD, the elements of hip-hop are very obvious, with the looping of drum tracks and unintelligible carcophony thrown about by 8 different MCs, one of which is Blixa Bargeld of the industrial noise band Einsturzende Neubauten. The guitar is almost minimal on the album, but Broadrick should not go uncredited because he intertwines his sound with the vocals to entrap the listener. This probably won't make anyone's Top 10 play list in the near future, But if your forte is Godflesh, Scorn, or any other bands of the like, I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nightmare Nigthmare Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, October 16, 2004

I would not consider this hiphop at all. This is more like experimental industrial noise with hiphop beats. The vocals seem more like another instrument in the mix some songs you can understand what is said but other songs they put so many fx on the vocals its warped into monsterish voices. If you are a fan of digital hardcore and hip hop then get this right now! Then if you like it and don't already own them, checkout Techno Animal and The Bug. This is the darkest and scariest hiphop EVER. If you like MTV and the radio then avoid this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard hip-hop for listeners who can take a beating., December 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bad Blood (Audio CD)

With hard beats and grooves that owe a lot to Wu Tang and Cypress Hill, this is an excellent example of how dark and disturbing hip-hop can sound. Though Justin Broadrick of Godflesh is credited with playing guitar on this album, don't expect the kind of riffage found in his full-time band's work. The guitar primarily serves as a tool to create background and ambience. The vocals are reminicent of any given death metal vocalist who decided to start rapping. Guest rappers add an air of street credibility to the primarily white, British line-up. Essentially, this album sounds like an evil conglomeration of Tricky, Godflesh, and Wu Tang Clan.
