...alarmingly derivative of a Rammstein song, with slow and thick riffing ensconsed in a keyboard melody, which shows that the band is not altogether above nabbing appealing aspects of modern music, but fans will be happy to hear that Priest have not gone so far as to throw any rap into their 21st century debut...
...rap is going to crawl out of its current rut of shiny jewels and bland rhymes, it's going to need new voices. That's why the debut of Bubba Sparxxx, a white 24-year-old farm boy from LaGrange, Ga., holds such promise.

With minimal background music, the song is carried by his voice, which courses with passion and vitality. It also features a rap courtesy of the late Notorious B.I.G., which originally appeared in his song “I Can’t Stop the Reign.” Punctuated by the signature scream and sharp exhalation, “Unbreakable” defiantly announces Jackson’s comeback in no uncertain...
