Built from Scratch

by: X-Ecutioners

Release Date February 25, 2002
It's hard for me to review this as it's not really my genre of music - It's perhaps too 'DJey' for me - When it comes to hip hop, I'm more DMX or Public Enemy (showing my age!)
The reason I bought this was for the excellent, It's Goin' Down featuring Mike Shinoda & Joe Hahn from Linkin Park - One of the best mixes of Rap and Metal to date, with a great, if simple, riff, a neat rap from Shinoda and lots of cool samples, scratches and spins. I had hoped, I'd find a couple more similiar tracks but alas, no - This is definiteley one for the hip hop crowd especially if they like the more 'instrumental' side of things, all the turntables etc but if you want the Metal side of it, then you will only find the one track -so it's up to you what ...

Revolutions

by: X-Ecutioners

Release Date June 07, 2004
If I'm honest, I bought this for the (Even) More Human Than Human(Featuring Rob Zombie, Slug From Atmosphere And Josey Scott) track than anything else, as I liked White Zombie's original, as well as It's Goin' Down from X-Ecutioners previous CD. It's Ok but nothing more, and it's not as good as the Rap/Metal crossover with the Linkin Park guys. Let's face it, the original 1995 song had already exploited the sampling technology and allied it to Metal guitar with devastating results, so this cover was never going to compete with Zombie's classic.
As for the rest of the album, if I'm honest, I've barely listened to it as nothing grabs me - hence the 3 stars and sitting on the fence!!!
My impressions are that if you're after Rap/Metal crossover, ... Read More:
