Phantom Phunk
Struggle With Me
Review by Gary Hill
I reviewed a previous set from this act and talked about the variety presented on the disc. This time around that's still present, but they seem to somehow merge the sounds better. It creates more of a cohesive work, while still showcasing all kinds of different sounds. I'd also say that this is release is more fun, and overall just much stronger. It's a great time, really. There are both male and female vocals here, with the female ones doing most of the singing, while the male handles the raps. Yes, there is rap here, along with punk, new wave and a lot more. I should mention that I've noted a couple songs where I made out parental advisories needed, but I couldn't hear all of the lyrics that well, so some of the others might qualify, too.
