Capitalizing on the recent commercial success of rap/rock crossovers, Loud Records volunteers their back catalog for the rock treatment on this surprisingly diverse new compilation. Ever wondered what the Wu-Tang Clan, Tha Alkaholiks, Mobb Deep, and Big Pun would sound like jamming with Sugar Ray, Sevendust, Incubus, and Ozzy Osbourne? Probably not, but the guitar-heavy pairings work surprisingly well. Vocally, tracks are split. Certified MCs show up on roughly half the tracks to retrofit their rhymes to the rock-out sound; on the rest, rock's wailers and grunters transform into microphone fiends. Everlast gives "Shook Ones Part II" a gorgeous, stripped-down acoustic feel, and System of a Down turns the Wu classic "Shame" into a mosh-pit screamer. Xzibit's gruff flow finds a perfect match alongside the distorted thrash of Endo and Sevendust. Though the bad moments are cringe-worthy, there's enough crossover appeal to win over rockers, hip-hop heads, and the morbidly curious alike. --Hua Hsu

Love this cd.......2006-11-29

Awesome cd, blend of the some of the finest hip-hop artists (WU) with rock. Great cd

Outdated.......2006-09-10

Rap rock died a bloody death. It had potential until Fred Durst and Kid Rock killed it. Rap rock is not a fusion of rap and rock... rather it's someone rapping over heavy metal music. This CD has novelty appeal, and some of the songs are interesting (The Wu-Tang stuff, the Dead Prez track). My biggest problem is that it doesn't even sound like some of these artists were even in the same room together. We'll record a Tony Iommi riff and Ozzy singing. Then we'll just send that track to some rappers who'll mix it and rap over it. From the previous reviews, it seems that this album appeals to the nu-metal rockers. As a fan of both rap, metal, and all music... I'd have to say it's pretty pointless for the rest of us. Dead Prez's 'Hip Hop' is a rap classic... and while I like Static-X, I don't really see the point when the original is so far superior.
Basically this album was made to capitalize on a fad from a few years ago. The Judgement Night soundtrack is far superior.
Above all else... you CAN judge a book by it's cover. Just one look at the queer album art should clue you in to cheese factor of this album.
I bought this back in 2000... spun it a few times back then... but haven't heard it since. Steal it online if you really have to hear it.

Mash Up's Predecessor.......2005-09-17

First off if you want to know about artist you're not sure of, before you by their CD's get this one... I'm an afficionado of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal (esp. Nu Metal & Rap/Metal). A must hear for any S.O.A.D. fan is "Shame" (w/Wu-Tang Clan), Static-X it's all about the "Hip Hop" (w/DP), Sevendust "What U See is What U Get" (w/Xzibit) and Crazy Town taking their "Only When I'm Drunk" to another level (w/tha Alkaholiks). Though these bands were insightful for me to buy this, I was quite amazed with Endo's "Los Angeles Times" (w/Xzibit). No true Rap/Metal fan would want 2 be without TAKE A BITE OUTTA RHYME \ TOO LEGIT FOR THE PIT \ JUDGMENT NIGHT -SDTK \ nor LOUD ROCKS!!!

Loud Rocks, does just that........2005-01-19

I got this CD when it first came out a few years ago, it was actually a fluke that I got it. I thought some of the songs seemed like they would be great, and I found out that they did. I am NOT disappointed with this cd, and I will never be.

Every single track on this cd impresses me, and the rap/rock fusion is a sound that needs to be repeated.

BUY THIS CD

Great CD even for people who dont listen to hip hop or rap.......2003-11-16

i would have to say that this cd is pretty kickn'. i was into that old limp bizkit stuff, that got old. recently my brother found this cd in his stack and said "take it" so i did. he didnt think i would like it but hey, i would buy this any day. this is even a great cd for those folks who really dont like rap and just like to rock out to some heavy $#*@, i stopped listening to this stuff years ago but this cd stuck out and is a perfect purchase for those hardcore rocker thugz. yea dawg...

"You damn Mexicans are too loud" really helped me go through some hard times when I was down on my luck. Lava and Hot Rocks were a great band, and I've been trying to find stuff on them for years.

One of rock music's finest moments.......2007-03-04

At one point in my life, my job consisted of listening to an ungodly amount of music: approximately 2,000 albums a year, plus 20-30 live sets a week.

I also worked directly with bands writing and recording their own music ...

... and then this popped up. I still listen to it, all the time - it is truly one of the best rock records ever recorded. The techniques and choices in recording could take up many pages of description, but at the end of the day, pop music boils down to a few things:
- melodies
- emotion
- vocal performance

The melodies are unforgettable, the feeling jumps out of the speakers (from despair to joy, and many more subtle and nuanced stops in between).

If it was ever possible to OD on music, or become jaded, I would qualify. This album still makes me feel excited to pick up a guitar, hell, to take it out of the jewel box.

Bricolage: a sonically compressed funhouse.......2007-01-16

Rumors were Aimee Mann was going to sing in re-mixed versions of Scott Miller's songs. The True Gamesters fansite has her covering "Inverness," but I have not heard any more about this planned re-make re-model. That song is closer to her style than Miller's. If you have heard his music, you know what I mean: hyper-clever, kinetic, intricate, arabesque, and sometimes either truly annoying or damned funny, usually in that sardonic way that Mark E Smith might share.

The Loud Family's apparently his attempt to shake off the new-wave power-pop tag that (see All Music Guide) still dogged Game Theory at the end of the 80s. All new line-up, which seems usual every few albums anyway (as with The Fall), under one consistently idiosyncratic and stubbornly lovable singer-songwriter who does not make that occupation an embarassment. Still, with Mitch Easter again manning the studio, there's a familiar obsession with building up layers of sound, found and invented. I like this bricolage.

The songs, when you have 19 (that last bit shows a typically annoying bit of Miller's impishness), will be uneven. Anyone who listens to this album or any Miller album honestly would probably agree. This one provides possibly the most accessible introduction to his later, post-college radio mid-80s, stage. He seeks to plunge you into his funhouse. Distortion's a given. But, with songs such as "Inverness," a lovely and straightforward detour (!) into pop, Miller shows he can play by the industry's rules and do well, also. But that's an uncharacteristic song.

However, the chugging "Idiot Son" sounds less ironic than usual, if only in its musical direction. It could be the more rocking counterpart to cheerier ditties like the assured "Give In World," the lyrically enigmatic but carefree "Take Me Down," or even the eccentric pop of "Second Grade Applauds." "Spot the Setup," contrarily, seems a ringer for the irritating tune pro forma, and an instrumental like "Rosy Overdrive" wanders without enough concentration across its relatively long allotted six minutes.

There's lots to pick and choose from among what remains, but that's for you to discover. While it does continue the Mitch Easter-directed studio trickery of GT's "Lolita Nation," it also furthers the last GT album, the overlooked "Two Steps," whose greater integration of a softer undertone can also be heard in the more accessible tunes among the expected experiments and extravagance. While not my favorite LF album, it's one I'd recommend if you are entering the world of Scott Miller and mates.

True Gamester.......2005-06-03

I was a huge Game Theory fan, though I came late to the party. It was around late 87 - early 88 that I heard Lolita Nation and it was like heroin (not that I've tried that!) I was hooked. When Two Steps from the Middle Ages came out, I was in the fan club. I was writing Scott Miller irritating fan letters. I got a tape of the (one of) the last shows featuring the Michael Quercio line-up through Scott himself. Then, it all fell apart. Scott would send stuff out on occassion, insisting he was doing something.

Suddenly, in a weird turn of events, this album came out and just floored everyone I knew that heard it. It was louder and heavier than Game Theory, though it was the same for all intents and purposes. Almost every track is a classic (apart from the non-Scott songs ... sorry, they just don't hold up). "Sword Swallower", "Jimmy Comes Round" and "Last Honest Face" are songs that will remain in my head forever.

I hope Scott comes back with something ... another rebirth. "As if we'd ever let that hour of opportunity go by."

Truly unique.......2004-09-01

This is the definitive Scott Miller Loud Family moment; see Distortion of Glory for the definitive Scott Miller Game Theory moment. Great lyricist who pens great tunes; how can you go wrong. That there is substance behind the lyrics only adds to the intrigue. So many great songs on this cd. Start with Aerodeliria, Jimmy Still Comes Around, Idiot Son, Inverness, Slit My Wrists, Isaacs Law. This Cd doesn't literally rock; it rocks literally. Probably still one of my top 30-40 albums (of thousands I've bought or have). If you like to think while you're singing along; pick this one up.

Ingenius (I swear i dont make this stuff up).......2002-04-22

Ok I suppose I am a bit biased because Zachary Smith is my father. I hope you all know he played lead guitar on this CD. I mean I grew up with this band. I was in the recording studo when probably some of this CD and "the tape of only linda" were recorded. I love this music. It has very interesting lyrics to analyze. Also Scott has an amazing voice. He has such a unique sound. Buy this album whoever hasn't.
