I've listened to this CD repeatedly, forcibly at first mainly because I got so many CDs at once and after awhile it became the CD I wanted to listen to over all the others. This band showcases something new, something unique. The basic trend of Pimp Rock or Rapcore is either heavy and funk or heavy and mellow, yet this band defies such practices and sticks it out with an evolutionary form of music. The sound of the band is quite unique, the group features two vocalist's well 3 if you want to get technical but 2 mainly. It's hard to describe the bands musical compositions or pigeon hole them into some category because they've expanded the boundaries and took things a step up. It's alot like a grunge rapcore, or something like Alice In Chains meets Rapcore. It's an excellent blend and one that doesn't wear thin on the listener, the songs are powerful yet filled with and Alt/grunge style rhythm mixed with a tight rapcore vibe that can really attack you as well as cradle you. The CD astonished me at first because of the innovation it encases. The band definitely has it's own unique groove which I haven't heard before and the band combines it's many influences together well. There's soothingly melodic tracks such as "Happy" or there’s outright raucous tracks like Refuse To Lose or Be Myself. The sound is great the instruments groove well, my only complaint would be that at times the band seems to ambitious to bring so many elements into a song with multiple parts and compositions and sometimes it can detract from the whole overall feel of the album because some songs are devastatingly on point while others just kind of feel jumbled together. This is something that will definitely be corrected as the band grows into it's style and brings to us the listener a whole new hybrid of the genre. Liquid Gang is definitely a band that brings their own lunch to the table and it's not from the typical brown bag of mediocrity, it's a buffet of musical styles melded into one large casserole of Grunge/rap/core guaranteed to give the listener something new to chew on.
