it's funny, because i actually follow arrested development's very good contemporary releases, but I've never really listened to their earlier stuff, and i now feel like that was probably the correct course of action; the very rare act that has actually gotten better in their later career, it seems. this is not bad but it's very very much of its time. at times it even dips into the kind of sound you always hear in parodies of old school hip hop. again, it's good, but you're better off going and giving For The FKN Love and Bullets In The Chamber a shot
