Great effort for their first major album
|
Five?was Rip Slymes first major album, released after they signed with the Warner Music Japan label. While later albums- 2002s Tokyo Classic?and 2003s Time to Go? are more musically mature, this first album contains an enormous amount of energy that speaks for the freshness of this then-newly-signed group. Several tracks on Five?are simply infectious, particularly the 2 singles, Steppers Delight?(track #2) and Zatsunen Entertainment?(track #9). (The videos for these singles are also very fun, so if youre curious check out the Shortcuts!?dvd or vhs.) As another reviewer alluded to, the MCs havent quite smoothed out their rapping style on this first album, so there are a few songs which might not appeal to the casual listener. There are some very quirky tracks, but theyre the kind that grow on you, until you cant help but grin at their silliness. Rip Slyme is a group that has a great sense of humor, and perhaps nowhere is it more evident than Five? Theyre funny, but DJ Fumiya knows how to lay down the beats to get your body moving too. Every Rip Slyme album has at least one song that has a strong, distinctive bass line that just oozes coolness, and on Five?that song is Bushman?(track #6). Its one of my favorites on this album, along with Steppers Delight? Zatsunen Entertainment? and Freak Show (featuring Mellow Yellow)? |

Could be a bit better, but lots of fun
|
Rip's Slyme's strongest asset is DJ Fumiya, who lays down envigorating and solid beats behind every track. This alone is almost worth the price of the CD. The "rapping" can get a bit tiresome, since its basically 4 guys shouting in unison, followed by a couple (or 3 or 4!) "solos," and then more shouting in unison. The MCs have some good moments, but their rapping skills aren't particularly hot and some tracks can get pretty stale after a couple minutes. It boils down to mood. The CD is lots of fun when you're up for it. These guys are pretty silly, and when you're in the mood for them (they grow on you), you can tolerate their rapping, and really enjoy the beats, the the CD is really great. I keep it on hand for when I'm feeling a little silly myself. |
