...practice the eclecticism that has been hot since way back when it was settled that the electronica revolution was a non-starter. Their songs are generally okay, and occasionally breach the lower depths of pretty good, but they're last decade's news; Rage Against the Machine brought rap-metal mainstream in the early '90s, the Fugees dominated the middle-'90s with hip-hop that borrowed from rock and pop, Ricky Martin filled every supermarket with his Latin-pop blend in the late-'90s, and yet groups still sell records and turn heads with forms of fusion pioneered...
