Methods of Mayhem
As far as the notion of the caveat emptor goes, it's hard to beat what's imprinted right on the Methods of Mayhem CD. "Warning: this CD is nothing but worthless plastic unless played loud as f**k...." OK then. Scenario:Tommy Lee, tattooed wife-slapping bad boy, dives headfirst into the not-so-brave or new world of white-rap road rage and comes up with a pretty smoking CD--even with the volume not cranked up to 11. Joining forces withLil' Kim,Kid Rock,Mix Master Mike, and obnoxious poseurFred Durst, Lee kicks out the jams with a thundering hammer-of-the-B-boy-gods glee. With tracks like "Crash" and the skittery assault of "Hypocritical,"Methods of Mayhemis loud, snotty, and kinda cool. Even for those of us way too damn old and female to actually play the thing around the house.--Amy Linden
