Mostly this Spartan sound is effective, but every now and then the arrangements seemed to crave a few missing harmonies. On a strange note, starting with song 9 the remaining tracks on the CD are significantly quieter. Whether this is a mastering error, a problem with just my CD or an act of God, I do not know. That's definitely not too much to ask, considering that this funky album had me crankin the tunes up anyway. One of the most striking aspects of this album is the feel, a solidity to the individual members' efforts which edges their efforts past a cappella and into seamless music.
Blend is fantastic and interpretation is powerfully sincere.
Their blend is aided by understated vocal percussion, driving beat more often than showy spitting. On all sides the sound is full and mature. As said, this is heart and soul. Listen up, and learn what a cappella can do. I listened to this disc more than once before sitting down to write.
