Album: Broke
Genres: Metal
This totally unnecessary combination of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Soul Coughing provides further proof of what we already knew -- namely, that the contemporary American rap-rock scene is just a font of abject mediocrity.

  Boy, just what we didn't need -- a cross between the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Soul Coughing! On this track from Broke, (hed)'s latest CD, frontman Jahred tries to sound like he's "down," but merely comes across like yet another fratboy blowhard laboring under the (mistaken) impression that he has actual rap skills. If that wasn't bad enough, the song's chorus is a direct rip from Rare Earth's "I Just Want To Celebrate," though lame substitute lyrics like "I just want your company" make you wonder why they even bothered. Sure, the guitar riffs ain't bad, but for the most part this is just another lousy American rap-rock band wasting our time with another thoroughly mediocre track. Will the madness never end?

(hed) p.e. is a definite kick ass band and just because they don't sound like those poppy stoopid boy bands, doesn't mean they aren't good. They rule!
