Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the introduction of bassist Doug Wimbish, the New York quartet's third album explores notably darker, heavier, and more industrial-tinged territories than their previous funk-metal hits. Addressing the social unrest of early 90s America, Vernon Reid's jagged guitar work and Corey Glover's impassioned vocals deliver a fierce, uncompromising blend of alternative metal and politically charged lyricism.
