Five years after the Las Vegas duo`s debut VEGAS, the Crystal Method`s sophomore release comes complete with a guest appearance by Stone Temple Pilots` Scott Weiland. The duo`s sample-heavy blend of Chemical Brothers-like hip-hop and electro-rock is immediately evident on tracks such as the smoking "Roll it Up" and "The Winner," and should provide the soundtrack to a plethora of parties across the country for the foreseeable future.
The mood changes somewhat with the mysterious "Ten Miles Back," but the overall feel of skittering sound effects, big beat drums, and dreamy vocals remains a constant throughout. And if the duo conjures occasional early-`80s memories of Herbie Hancock`s "Rockit" and Jan Hammer`s "Miami Vice" theme, well, that just adds to the fun.
