...album chronicles a battle between Volcano!’s many explosive elements. “Fire Fire” catches the band at a lull, with carefully articulated guitar and foot-tapping drum rhythms working towards a flurry into post-hardcore virtuosity reminiscent of a relaxed Fugazi. That is, until the vocals jump back in halfway through and take the entire song down a deranged stream of consciousness (including sing-spat references to “the nape of my neck” and “my nipple and breast”) ending in yet another clash between...
...tracks for G-Unit and 213. Since 2004’s crossover flop “The Beautiful Struggle,” Talib has been more likely to show up on wax with a motley assortment of marginally “conscious” hip-hop, accompanied by cheap drums, whiny trumpets, and Ruff Ryder synths.

On his third try, Gaudio found a narrative use for the tramp-tramp-tramp beat of the first two songs: I'm gonna march right out of your heart. Valli's falsetto croons a pretty, otherworldly air while the other Seasons bark out, "Walk! Walk! Walk! Walk!" In three series of this long march (played at the beginning, middle and end, and expending more than half...
