Label: Anti-
Release Date: June 9, 2009
At first listen, Jhelli Beam has few rough gems here and there but...
Busdriver is impressive as usual with is vocal acrobatics and 1000 words a minute delivery but according to Busdrivers intro line to the album, "Conscious rap failed us" but that doesn't mean he's giving up or conforming.
The album starts out strong and very impressive as usual but then slowing sinks into an everything-I-got-at-once haze with BD's schizo delivery and beats with perhaps some not so fully realized ideas. That isn't necessary a bad thing but at first try the listener gets overwhelmed looking for a track to latch onto to keep from getting caught up in the vortex that's BD's hurricane of a delivery.
Its not that Busdriver doesn't know what everyone wants; "Club anthemns, thats what they want. This is not it but I"m going to give it a go." BD proclaims on the last track "Sorry, Fuckers". He's still perfectly alright going against the mainstream.
From his last album, RoadKillOvercoat
