I'm Ready for Another New Day..., August 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Resolutions (Audio CD)
Wow. I've tried, really tried to make it through this CD from start to finish and I just can't do it. That's really sad since Ready For A New Day was such an awesome collection of tunes. In fact, every time I shop at Old Navy, there is a song from that CD on their system.
So, the main problem with Resolutions is the fact that it doesn't really contain songs. Todd Terry is the master of the vocal jam and that's what he has sorrowfully omitted here. The single and only real vocal, Let It Ride, just makes that more apparent with each listen. The raps are tired. The attempt at an Island sound with "Murderah" took me a few spins before I realized that homie is dubbing in English. To paraphrase a movie review I read, "Profanity isn't lyrics". If you need a Tee fix, go for The House Music Movement instead. Pass on this puppy--it's a dog unless you just like mindless, pounding rhythm. And if you despise everything that contemporary rap music has become, definitely avoid Resolutions.

Worth all 4 stars..., July 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Resolutions (Audio CD)
For all those people who gave Todd Terry only one star-- instead of stupidly over-analyzing his music, you should learn to appreciate it! Although some of his beats are a little simple, they are nevertheless fresh and ultra fun to listen to. This album is a sure way to get you in dance mode. Peace.

Don't believe the hype, July 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Resolutions (Audio CD)
This is unadulterated crap from an aging house dj trying to front industrial/jungle sensibility. The loops are simple. The samples are out of place and context. The MC's drip whack pretension. If you desire phenomenal drum'n'bass, check out WE "The Square Root of Negative One".
