...vitally raw and dynamic about this hip-hop trio into a snappy 30-minute album that blazes by in a flash of intensity and verve. The album bristles with intriguing musical touches. Opener “Criminology 2.5,” for instance, features a chorus heralded by resounding trumpet samples, soulful female vocals and trickling piano flourishes. This track propelled further forward by a punchy yet grooved drumbeat and the consistent lyrical vigor of Meth, Ghost...

An earthquake rocks the Japanese capital, while beggars shiver in the cold. Anticipatory lovers throb with desire in the shadowed alleyways of "Trumpet Shells." In "The Offering," a young boy who kills an old red rooster for no good reason is wracked by guilt and fevers. In "Scarecrow," a dissolute husband jounces his wife's pregnant belly with a spiteful kick. Elsewhere, villagers are stricken with tuberculosis, malaria or opium withdrawal. But at least they...
