专辑介绍
by Steve Huey
Crazy Town's debut album, The Gift of Game, is similar to many other rap-inflected alternative metal albums in that it concentrates on sound over structure, creating macho, aggressive grooves with grinding, noisily textured guitars and the underlying feel of squared-off hip-hop beats. Hooks can be a bit hard to come by, since this isn't music that relies heavily on melody (or catchy guitar riffs), but that isn't necessarily a consideration for fans of the style. What's more relevant than the tightness of the songwriting is the intensity of the assault, and on that count, Crazy Town delivers the goods. Moreover, they're refreshingly skilled in the rap department when compared to some of their contemporaries, and the album bolsters its credibility with guest appearances from KRS-One and Mad Lion, to name two. Of course, Crazy Town's audience will be largely outside the hip-hop community, but it's evidence that they can be more serious about a truer fusion of genres when they want to be. There are elements of Limp Bizkit's juvenile humor, to be sure, but overall, the album shows promise.

- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：Crazy Town的首张专辑，The Gift of Game与其他许多由说唱金属演变而来的另类金属专辑极其相近，因为这张专辑把注意力更多地集中在音乐本身而不是歌曲结构上，专辑以粗糙而嘈杂的吉他音质和那潜藏于音乐背后又保持与音乐同拍的hip-hop节奏，创造出一个有男子气概、具有侵略性的音乐氛围。吉他riff可能显得稍微比较激烈，而歌曲本身也不是那种强烈依赖旋律（或者优美动人的吉他）的音乐。专辑紧凑有力的词曲创作为音乐本身增添着一股强烈的攻击感，Crazy Town在这点上做的比较出色。
