Reviews & Discussion
Risible and very disappointing offering from Run-DMC, especially coming right after 'Raising Hell' which should rightly be regarded as a classic of modern music... They seem to have wanted to emulate the Beastie Boys, and done most of the LP in a faux-Metal style which sounds so macho and cheesey, you can imagine it being played in a teenager's sweaty-sock bedroom with glamour girl posters on the wall. The low-point of the whole sorry performance is the laughable ditty 'Mary Mary,' which contains the sadly unforgettable refrain: 'Mary, Mary, why you buggin'... Mary, Mary, I need your huggin.' Embarrassing, naff, cringeworthy flop.
