Dislocated Styles are a six-piece from Arizona who, on Pin the Tail on the Honkey, take the crunchy guitars of nu metal and stuff them full of deep 1970s funk, B-boy rapping, jazz piano, old-time rock, and some hilarious scratching. Not for them the big-shorts and angst favored by their contemporaries; they prefer a much more fluid, soulful sound as typified by the deep piano and close mic rapping of "Unified." In fact, Dislocated Styles are so keen not to be lumped in with the current crop of wannabe rap-metal heroes that they take a swipe at Limp Bizkit on "Revolution" and sample James Brown on "Liquefied." Throughout Pin the Tail on the Honkey, pop sensibilities can't help but surface, with both "Possessed by Demons" and "Clocks" sounding like Top 10 hits already, yet when they turn it up and rock out as they do on "Reckoning," they have all the force of a 10-ton hammer. --William Luff

5.0 out of 5 stars Caught me off guard!, March 7, 2003

By	Big Paul (California) - See all my reviews

Me and a friend were at the music store, he had a CD in mind, I didn't. I caught Dislocated Styles on the "New CD" rack and flipped it over. I saw the Roadrunner label logo, which surprised me, cause the name Dislocated Styles, and Pin The Tail on the Honkey didn't seem like anything inside was rock. But I thought it could be and trusted Roadrunner from other bands like Slipknot, Dry Kill Logic, Spineshank, Soulfly and Coal Chamber.

I never heard a song from this CD until I bought it. It surprised me. It had a corny sound, but something new, and I dove into the sleeve and read along the lyrics as the songs played. There writing is very good and has something deep to it, although the way they play it doesn't.

Like some of the band members say on there site. They get fans that they would have never thought they would have, that listen to completely different styles of music. This is true, if I had heard that they were completely rap/rock or funk before I bought it. I probably wouldn't have. If your looking for something new and want something to kickback to, then this CD is a great buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fusion of many styles, April 26, 2001

By	MC Hoy Hoy (Phoempton, AZ) - See all my reviews

Dislocated Styles has one of the freshest sounds to come out in years. The band brings together musicians with backgrounds in blues, hip hop, funk, classic rock and others to create its own sound. The new album, Pin the Tail on the Honkey, brings Dislocated Styles unbridled live energy, unique sense of humor, and variety in musicianship to stand out. The first single Liquefied is sure to rip up the charts, and Unified lays down some great rhymes to get gangsters everywhere chanting this anthem. Dislocated Styles is definitely on their way to the top.

2.0 out of 5 stars Got it dirt Cheap here., July 30, 2009

By	David Black "plentywoodband" (Bentonville, AR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

That is about all I can say about the album. They still have some tight grooves.
