No 'Future' for these imbeciles

Usually, I tend to enjoy most music I listen to. After reading the arrogant and dirt-slinging press release from Chronic Future, I had a hard time taking this band seriously, and I don't plan on listening to its immature album ever again. Somehow everything on the radio is trash, and this band is amazing! Whoever wrote this pathetic piece of PR thinks this band of teens and twentysomethings can revolutionize the world with its brand of poppy punk, trendy hip-hop and stale rock 'n' roll. Fat chance. \nThough, the blend of genres is slightly unique, it is also incredibly cheesy, formulaic and poorly realized. This stuff is a disgrace to Linkin Park and other rap-metal pioneers who opened doors for the blending of musical genres, which is at its worst in Lines in My Face. The instrumentalists and lead singer are decent, while the MC is terrible. He does not fit in with the music at all, sounding like a crying goat in a herd of sheep. This album also shows how rotten pop-punk has gotten with the "da-dooby-doo" crap of "New York, NY." This album's few saving graces are the rare songs of slightly hard rock 'n' roll devoid of lousy rap.\nIf I were to grade the press release, I would give it an F -- the album is a little better.
