Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Possibly the best Meat Beat album since Subliminal Sandwhich Comment: If RUOK took Meat Beat in the direction of modern hiphop done with access to a room full of rare vintage synthesizers, Autoimune refines that vision to a razor blade and adds a splash of everything that has made Meat Beat work from album to album. Eclectic, polished, ugly, beautiful, and soulful. Solid Waste echoes Freindly Fa$cism era Consolidated and songs like Edge Of No Control and Asbestos Lead Asbestos while other songs echo everything from Jack Dangers solo work on Important Records to strait ahead hip hop and dub. All is infused with challenging rhythms and gut shaking bass. Customer Rating: Summary: Oh Yeah Comment: More fuzzed out bleeping organic than NIN, with some good tasty rap that stands out like Shadow or Wax Tailor. This is no 80's music! Crunchy breakbeats and mountainous bass, this album is varied but always sounding good. It loves you long time! Customer Rating: Summary: I can hardly bear to say it, but it must be said: Comment: I'm a little sad that this album sounds so much more like previous material. It's very good, but after the innovation of the last album, I had my hopes up for more jazz and less hip hop, or at least something further from their comfort zone. C'est La Vie. Their live show will still make a straight edged square dance and hollar like a burnt out fiend. Customer Rating: Summary: OH YEAH THEY ARE BACK ! Comment: It is safe to say after the last couple of (in my opinion) not so stellar CDs, MBM IS BACK !!! It is nice to see a return to the old formula,but with some new twists. This disc is worth it for old and new fans . Jack Dangers is once again,the master with a plan ! Customer Rating: Summary: Dusteppalicious! Comment: I love this album! Best think yet, and I love the new direction. [...] "Let's start this off by weeding out a few people. If you belong to any of the following groups, skip this review completely, and just go buy the album right now (yes, seriously): 1. Any previous Meat Beat fans 2. Fans of electronic dub, glitch, or dubstep music 3. Lovers of grimey, deep bass Now that we have them on their way, I can get to talking about what makes Meat Beat Manifesto, and this album in particular, so interesting. Jack Dangers, the figure-head visionary behind the group, started playing heavy, repetitive, industrial-esque music many many years ago in a country far, far away. He found his sound-style early on--with a love of Dub/Reggae, syncopated rhythms, and obscure samples--and has been refining that sound ever since. We have seen MBM move from the raw industrial sounds, to acidy electronic samples, to dub, then a quick dip into jazz, all while keeping a seriously grounded, deep reggae-like bassline and layers upon layers of funky drum patterns. I was almost certain that Jack and Crew were going to spiral off into more of this Jazz-infused madness with their new record, but was pleasantly surprised to find Autoimmune following in the footstep of the best previous albums, but yet again, pushing new sound elements into the already perfected mixture. By adding the wicked dirty dubstep bass sounds to their palette (distinguished by the dark, gritty mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass), Meat Beat Manifesto has followed the natural course which today seems totally fitting (although was shockingly new when I first played the album). So who really should be a fan of Meat Beat Manifesto? If you are a fan of deep, dirty funk, dub/reggae, hip hop, dubstep, or glitch; it is a must-have. Mind you, MBM is all and none of these at the same time. You will hear pieces and parts of most everything and yet if they were played alongside of any of these on a radio station, it would definately stand apart. If you however, prefer your music light, fluffy, and soft... you could probably easily skip this release and be on your way. Okay, so all this means mostly nothing without some music right? Well, here you go... a few samples of the new album, fresh-in-stores tomorrow. Enjoy." More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Meat Beat Manifesto has been hailed as one of the frontrunners in the electronic music scene since 1987. Front man Jack Dangers has avoided being categorized by continuously expanding his musical influences and overall direction of the band. No two albums sound alike. Now, with this tenth release, the group is pushing musical boundaries even further, creating a tour de force of electronic genius sure to spark renewed interest in the dubstep and electronic music scenes.
