Summary: More than DJs
Comment: This album illustrates how TCM go beyond your average DJs mixing beats. With Community Service we realize that the group is creative enough not just to make their own music, but literally create alternatives for others. If you are familiar with any of the songs that our remixed in this album, I can guarantee you there will be no disappointment. This isn't my favorite TCM album, but it is definitely the one that impressed me most of the artists' talent and potential.
Customer Rating:
Summary: bland and boring
Comment: considering it had the TCM name on the cover, i thought this would be off the top, trippy stuff. it sadly wasnt. my first thing i noticed was that it was boring...there was nothing special about it. no electronic effects that grabbed me like Vegas did.
i know this wasnt a TCM album, but i figgured it HAD to be good, right? i mean....it had their name on the front.
i am a huge fan of meth, i love them love them love them, but....this album just didnt fly.

Summary: Does It Match Up To Their Name???
Comment: I would have to rate this one a five since I haven't heard many of their mixes. Upon purchasing this CD, I personally found this one more appealling to my ears compared to a few of their other Mixes. Please make sure you play this Mix on a Quality sound system otherwise you may be disappointed. The Crystal Method have been labeled by some as the loudest group in concert, therefore this Mix attests to that and appearantly was one of the group's focus. If your not ready to dance to this music I recommend it for high speed freeway music. (Warning, drive at your own discretion.)

Summary: Community Service = Essential Beats
Comment: This disc from the 'Method was the perfect predecessor to the incredible "Tweekend" cd, at the same time bringing fresh tracks (remixed or not; that is irrelevant) to the over-rated & overplayed "Vegas" release of 1997.
Scott & Ken demonstrate the essence of any electronica dj's reason to exist: remixing skills that twist otherwise snoozer tracks into their signature big beat/hard hop groove.
Being much more accessible than the ego-heavy Prodigy & having diversity of style over remix-only outfits (Rabbit in the Moon plus hundreds of other wannabe's) keeps this 'Island of Groove' (a.k.a. The Crystal Method) the standard of the genre.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not bad for a mix album
Comment: First of all, if you buy this CD and expect another Vegas or Tweekend, you will be disappointed. What you will find here is a continuous mix of songs mixed by TCM. More breakbeat-oriented than any other TCM work, I found Community Service to be a bit repetitive, but it certainly has its share of enjoyable tracks. Breakin' on the Streets, Name of the Game, Boom, Renegades of Funk, and Paranoid were my favorites.
This CD is definitely not for everyone. If you are a big TCM fan, I would recommend this CD, or if you are simply a big electronic music enthusiast.

Editorial Reviews:

Exciting, edgy, and energetic, Community Service, the Crystal Method's debut DJ mix release, is an instant success. Method men Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan have molded 15 cuts from the likes of Orbital, Rage Against the Machine, and Evil 9 into their own futureshock soundscape, with a result that sounds like an after-hours electronic speed-romp through a postapocalyptic Playstation mega city. At times, Community Service sounds like the sister of German techno-chase film Run Lola Run, nowhere more so than during Koma & Bones' pulsating "Morpheus (Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes Mix)" and Force Mass Motion vs. Dylan Rhymes's "Hold Back." Add some nice funky flashes to the overall techno-based energy, and Community Service is an entertaining reminder that these boys still know their way around decks as well as desktops. --Steffan Chirazi
