Butyric Acid: The Definition of this Band

09/16/1998

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Just buy the album and you'll understand. Aggressive, relevant, unbelievable. You will love this collection of music. Consolidated addresses topics that other bands fear, recognizes the irony of their situation and braves the criticism anyway. Awesome fusion of Samples, Rap, Rock, Spoken Word.... Own this."

They are exiting the Industrial Realm as we know it

"Unfortunately, this was the one Consolidated CD that I could not find for years, so it was the last of their 8 albums that I was able to collect.....boy, do I wish I would have gotten this one back in '94 when it went to press! There is such a diversion from their 1992 release "Play More Music" and this album. With the help of avant-garde artists Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) and Gregg Proops (Who's Line Is It, Anyway?), the Crusading Rap Guys have begun their deviation from what we refer to as "Industrial" to a new form of expression. Don't worry--you still get an ample dose of rantings from various concert crowds, but they have finally transcended the perameters of mainstream music......From here on out, don't expect to hear anything merely industrial from this group. There are a few filler songs on this recording, but songs like "Butyric Acid," "Consolidated Buries the Mammoth," "Born of a Woman," "Cutting," "Meat, Meat, Meat and Meat," "Dog + Pony Show" and "Emanicipate Yourself" make this CD a four-start triumph and worth the purchase price....FROM THIS MOMENT FORTH, WE ARE BLACK LESBIANS!"

"Consolidated hits you with a non-PC message that is a cool, funky delight. I am pretty liberal and these dudes scare me. Buy it, crank it and think!"
