Title: The War Report, then this musical massacre...
Product review: The War Report was hit and miss - some undeniably brilliant moments flanked by some annoyingly sloppy ones - but this doesn't even get the good bits right. The Reunion is infuriatingly monotnonous in its attempt to strangle the life out of the great swathes of string sections layered over breaks that refuse to do anything out of the ordinary. CNN try too hard with their lyricism that remains typically cliched about street life without shedding new light on anything other than the ghetto (apart from the seemingly obligatory soppy love slop that creeps up unwitingly on Full Steezy. Gone are the great bass-heavy gunshot beats of classics such as Illegal Life and Iraq, instead replaced by tracks without any soul or feeling whatsoever. They say the sophomore is the most difficult album to achieve success with, but I'd be surprised if this amounts to anything. Desperately, desperately disappointing, this is one Reunion that you wish never came about...
