Ignore the last review. I admit you probably really have to dig Fishbone to get into this. The band is just doing their thing. This time with more people than just fishbone. The last track with Angelo is really great. Its like 30 minutes of Angelo going through a bunch of his poetry. Like everything Fishbone puts out its worth listening too.

Angelo Moore's spoken word rant is fantastic! The groove underneath keeps me moving... Well worth it for Fishbone fans and other "Nutts".

This EP really is not Fishbone in my personal opinion. It is more a patchwork of Nuttmeg music that displays a broad range of California's finest contemporary artists, getting together with the great institution that is Fishbone for a pieced together jam. Althought it features some of my favourate artists who team up up with Fishbone, such as Primus, Blowfish, George Clinton to name a few, I found that there was an absence of the Fishbone sound here in this release and the other artists really did not add much magic. Being unreleased and uncensored out take tracks from Fishbone's 2000 album "The Friends Psychotic Nuttwerx", I can sort of understand why Hollywood Records refused to have these tracks on the final release. You have to have some patience and more than the average attention span to be able to listern to the whole thing without switching out.

Second Track, 'Let Them Hoes Fight' is the closest you get to a song that you can really get your teeth into but it still lacks something. The rest of the EP being only two other tracks, 1 and 3, are just a little raw for my taste. Track 3 being just shy of half an hour is a great inprovised jam with Angelo Moore (vocalist and saxophonist of Fishbone) laying down phrase after phrase of witty poetry but come the 10 minute mark, nothing much changes and some awesome music is drown by the relentless words of Dr Madd Vibe.

For the diehard Fishbone fan of recent times, this EP may be of some interest to you, but for me, I hear more of the friends than the 'Bone.
Looking at the rest of the reviews, I am in the minority here, but after playing this EP to friends who loved Fishbone in the early to mid 90's, their reaction indicated that I was not alone.
If you want some real recent Fishbone magic, get a copy of the brilliant 'Live At The Temple Bar and More - Fishbone' LP that has just been released opposed to this EP.
