Editorial Reviews

Guest appearances by reggae legend Pato Banton, Sen Dog (Cypress Hil), Johnny Richter (Kottonmouth Kings), Big B, Dirtball, Jamie Allensworth, Kevin (The B-side Players), & Dj Product of (Hedpe), this body of work picks up where `California Poppy' left off & then some. While the band may not be your average singles band come on, they're not `New Kids On The Block', or maybe the guys who smoke the block?? Their album is loaded with singles; stand out tracks like, `Runaway', which has a classic punk rock edge, reminiscent of The Clash.

OPM has evolved their sound over the years from skate rip rock to reggae rock. While experimenting with their music they have never strayed too far from what makes them, them. Utilizing the talents of their associated acts, OPM blends punk rock, rap, and regional sound inside their reggae base.

Golden State of Mind is an album you can enjoy forever, whether your driving, sitting on the beach, or hanging out with some friends. The album encompasses "good vibrations" throughout. However, much of the subject matter is about drugs and "the man".

OPM hasn't gone anywhere since "Heaven is a Halfpipe" that many enjoyed on the radio seemingly ages ago. They still put out albums, and still push the California sound with their own flavor. With their latest release, "Golden State of Mind", OPM bring more of the same, with some Suburban Noize flavor for good measure.

The CD includes long time OPM associate, Big B on several tracks, keeping the crossover appeal of Cali-hip hop the label is known for, and this guest list is rounded out by some heavy hitters in Johnny Richter of Kottonmouth Kings, Dirtball, and even Sen Dog of Cypress Hill fame. The disc even takes a harder vibe for the track "Shoot Em Up". But otherwise, it's a laid back, living life good style.

"Golden State of Mind" is one of those albums you put on your CD player on a sunny Sunday, resting on your porch with an ice cool lemonade...and maybe something extra curricular for good measure.
