I REALLY love the beats on this album, but the singer makes me want to rip my own face off. Sure it is "novel" on a few tracks but GRATING on the rest. This album actually made my angry that I purchased it. IF ONLY it was just the beats. UGH. BAD BAD BAD!
if your looking to repeat a reggae high than I advise against this, But if you like music that pushes barriers and combines genres than get it cause its fucking cool
Heavy International is a mix tape itself, blending no wave punk song structures and atomic monster movie soundtracks with dub basslines and jazz drumming a la Marshall Allen. The Mix is So Bizarre, Crime, Beware the Swordbat, Feed the Youth, the whole album.
If you like those old On-U Sound records produced by Adrian Sherwood, then this will please. Maybe a little jam-heavy on the bass, maybe a little light on the echo for old school dub fiends, but "M.O.A.B." and "Feed the Youth" undeniably sound great on a mix tape.
