A let down considering Abel's earlier B-sides rock so hard

"I have tracked Abel for the past six years, through his earlier works in the Chzech underground to the slamming tracks he lays down at Club Fun, this album was kind of a let down. In his earlier works he showed such drive and determination, if you can find them try "Slam the Bass", "Rock the Guitar", or "I Love You Like Crumbcakes" some earlier treats where Abel truly began to spread his musical wings. I think that the criticism about Abel "selling out" may have a little truth to it, lately he has been wearing flashy gold medallions and rings, I also heard he was considering doing a duet with Billy Joel. "Whats up wit dat?"In the end Bang the Drum is still a solid little number, Abel manages to stay two steps ahead of the competition, but he really needs to pick up the pace."
