5.0 out of 5 stars Real Rap. Real Rock., September 22, 2002

By 

Nicholas Alla Koholick "anonymousnick2001" - See all my reviews

This review is from: (hed) P.E. (Audio CD)

This is (hed) p.e. before they were technically "metal." This is more like hardcore punk, although some songs are pretty heavy. The hip-hop here is much more 'street' and 'real' than on Broke, with better flow and delivery, and the funky basslines are great. The closing song here is a much better ending than "The Meadow" on Broke, with its bongos and reggae beats, and there aren't any fillers like "Pac Bell." What really is awesome here are the lyrics. Songs like "Firsty" and "P.O.S" are hilarious because of the lyrics, and "IFO" is realistic in its view on visitors from outer space. Other themes are covered such as racism, and drug use. Beware though, this has real rap in it, so step lightly, because typical rap words are used, and M.C.U.D. spews swears like rain, even against a quiet backdrop! However, it's a great effort. Much better than Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, or Papa Roach(who no longer 'rap'). I suggest getting this and Broke(not as good, but still tight), then Snot's Get Some, then Incubus' S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can I get an "Awwww Yeahhh! " ?, May 12, 2000

This disc f'in rocks my world. Thanks to the Strangeland soundtrack, I felt the desire to check these guys out further... and I was not disappointed! (hed)pe brings forth the inevitable Limp Bizkit comparisons, and LB fares _Badly_ in this light. With good solid rapping, great lyrics and some booty-bouncing, hip-hop/metal riffing, (hed)pe emerge as the better band in terms of musical talent and lyric writing.

The album rocks from beginning to end. "POS" and "Ground" lead smoothly into "Serpent Boy", which is explosive and features some awesome transitions from hyper-rapped verses to mega-rock-riff choruses. "Tired of Sleep" features a more laid back groove laid down over eerily haunting high pitched guitar licks.

Other excellent tracks are "Schpamb", "Ken 2012", "33" and "Hill". "IFO" has fast become one of my favorite, featuring some of the most awesome lyrics I have ever heard. It sounds like the X-Files episode written by the staff of High Times!

All in all, this band can hold it's own against any of the new metal bands out there, Rage Against the Machine included. Rage owns, but so does (hed)pe. I think the future for these guys is blindingly bright, and I would highly recommend this record to people out there with open minds who don't blindly cling to allegiance with one band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Think Cypress Hill meets Sublime meets Korn., July 8, 2000

This review is from: (hed) P.E. (Audio CD)

(hed) p.e. : Not your typical rapcore band. The music on here is quite a trip and has a thousand obvious influences. From the heavy (Schpamb, P.O.S.) to the laid back (T.O.S.) and to the just furious (Ground, Firsty) this cd has it ALL. MCUD is probably one of the best rappers out there, his lyrics flow smoothly and are definetly more daring and bold than, let's say Fred Durst. A lot of this cd is a grab bag of funk, metal, alt rock, rapcore, etc. It is really hard to pick a favorite song. If you like this band, try Snot, Crazy Town, Kottonmouth Kings and Cypress Hill.
