Product Description

Two years ago the Audio Bully’s delivered their visceral, zeitgeist-capturing debut album Ego Wars. This sophomore effort wisely avoids echoing the same nihilistic manifesto (see "We Don’t Care"), drawing instead on a broader palette of sounds and some genuinely effective attempts at songwriting. It wouldn’t be an Audio Bully’s album without a couple of obligatory floor-wreckers of course, which is what "Keep On Moving" and "Shot You Down" are there for. But the best cuts on Generation are not beefed-up house-rants, but the more introspective recordings like the gritty "Made Like That" (featuring Roots Manuva) and laid back songs such as "Get Myself On Track", "I'm in Love" and "Struck By Sound".
Lyrically and musically, Generation is more cerebral than their debut, providing unequivocal evidence that this talented duo are much more than simply a "Streets Pt 2". --Paul Sullivan

The album, ‘Generation’ shows us just how much Audio Bullys have developed both lyrically and musically in the two years since their debut album ‘Ego Wars’ was released. ‘Generation’ contains a diverse range of musical styles and an increased emphasis on song writing, with collaborations from Suggs and Roots Manuva
Amidst the strong dance floor contenders such as “Keep on Moving” and “Shot You Down”, this album contains a surprising mix of laid back songs such as ‘I’m in love’ and ‘Struck by sound’.
This album will certainly not be for everyone and there are a few tedious moments where the lyrics and beats seem repetitive. However Audio Bullys fans will not be disappointed as their unique combination of house, garage, beats and baselines, continues to live on. If you enjoy Dizzee Rascal, The Streets and Basement Jaxx then give this a try.

The Audio Bullys are definitely one of my favourite groups because they just make music that sums up this lifestyle and make awesome original beats. On the flipside, they've gone and made an album that's filled with ridiculosuly repetitive stupid hooks. This means you can't really play the CD when you're around your friends that much because the album produces way too many "next track" moments. Another thing, when will UK rappers learn to stop singing the choruses? It sounds like s*%t 90% of the time! That goes for you too Mike Skinner, rapping and singing are two different talents!
I don't wanna be too negative because this is overall a pretty good album with fresh sounds, and the song "I'm in love" is a coming-down classic, but it's really frustrating that the Audio Bullys don't have a third ear to just say, "Hey mate, that hook's starting to sound stupid and annoying now, let's change it up a little..." Then these guys would have the talent to claim their place right at the top of the game! Buy it but don't expect everyone in the room to be into it.
