Editorial Reviews :
There's something genuinely interesting about (hed) Planet Earth. Rather than simply singing about being different, they actually attempt to break from convention. That spirit is what makes Blackout a fascinating album. Though nearly all the 14 tracks kick off into a metal frenzy at some point, they're wildly varied in their pace and feel. 'Crazy Life,' begins with sinister Wu-Tang keyboards, then rips into a raucous chorus, before a hard-hitting rap about sex on the road leads to a screaming rock crescendo. 'Flesh and Bone' features vocalist Jahred conjuring lost souls at midnight crossroads, while the shuffling 'Other Side' is cushioned by a soft 1970s haze. Elsewhere pop, soul, reggae, and folk slip into the mix, making the band's histrionic outbursts all the more effective. Jahred's lyrics, too, are above the norm, if a bit too self-focused. --Dominic Wills
Buyer Reviews :
I've been listening to Hed since I met them years ago in NYC (and Jahred subsequently slept with a friend's friend, but that's another story. ha!). I love their music - it's goovy, it's funky, and you can ALWAYS bounce your head to it. Blackout, their third release, may be their hardest album - which also means it's more hard-rock than their usual mix of styles. If you're looking for a good album of theirs to start with, pick up Broke - that album best showcases their multifaceted style. But Blackout is still really great, and any fan should pick it up this instant!
