Issues

After "Follow the Leader," I expected a couple of years' break for Davies & Co.

Instead, they returned with a formidable album. Abandoning the hip-hop sounds, "Issues" impresses with new wave influences mixed with the unmistakable cathartic funk metal, as evidenced by tracks like "Falling Away From Me," "Somebody Someone," the beautiful "Hey Daddy," or the single "Make Me Bad," all connected by interludes like "Dead," "4U," "Am I Going Crazy."

The emphatic and schizophrenic voice of Jonathan Davies shines, and the duels between Munky's and Head's guitars while the great Fieldy serves as a glue with the rhythms of David Silveria. Devastating.
