While the first 20 minutes supply an appropriately cocaine-like high (with the requisite comedown), what's really missing is the debut they somehow skipped over, one where they could've showed where their passion comes from, rather than merely being actors in a Hills-hop hybrid.
-
What that hodgepodge adds up to is the year's best hip-hop debut.
-
Thankfully, their debut album does little to clarify the group's intriguingly eclectic sound.
-
Remind Me in 3 Days is fun and nostalgic, blending old-school beats, electronica, and hard rock into head-nodding anthems reminiscent of OutKast's "Stankonia."
-
With Remind Me in 3 Days, they throw down a worthy challenge to hip-hop’s status quo.
-
The brothers lack the inspired wit of their predecessors (especially OutKast) and could use tauter rhymes, but most of the album packs a punch.
-
The music is kept grounded throughout by the guitar work and some exceptional sung hooks, but the MCs' ability to craft and deliver backpacker quality lyricism is what holds the whole thing together.
-
The brothers are nimble lyricists, delivering raps in catch-me-if-you-can fashion, exercising little patience but encouraging repeated listens.
-
This is a new direction? It's not even a halfway decent collection of songs.
