Cypress Hill - Till Death Do Us Part (CD)

Have
you ever heard of the Church of Euthanasia? Their motto is "Save the Planet. Kill
Yourself." The tenets of the
Euthanasia faith are suicide, sodomy, free abortion, and cannibalism. I'm not a member (if I was, I would've killed
myself already), but I read somewhere that they were working on developing a
Suicide Assistance Hotline, in order to aid those who have way too much to live
for. If the Church ever gets the hotline
going, they could play the new Cypress Hill album for all the callers waiting
on hold for an operator.
Till Death Do Us Part is
one depressing album. That's par for the
course with Cypress Hill, who have built a career out of documenting the
bleakness of life itself: "Another
Body Drops", "Till Death
Comes", "Till Death Do Us
Part" and "Eulogy". Death looms large in the Cypress
universe. But what would a Cypress Hill
album be without songs about weed (apparently the only form of relief in this
cold, hard world). On the new CD, we get
"Ganja Bus", which features
Bob's son Damian Marley, and the instrumental "Bong Hit". Doesn't pot
turn sperm into noodle soup? Must be why
Carmen Electra married Dave Navarro instead of B-Real.
As
far as actual quality goes...well, it's a standard dj Muggs production:
consistent throughout but lacking a big hit.
Face it, they're remembered for "Insane In The Brain" and the new album will do little to
change that. The CP following should be
pleased, though.
