Set It Off
About This Album
With the latest craze of Christian hardcore bands hitting the scene, it's sometimes difficult to make the distinction between the pretenders and the contenders. Set It Off, the debut from Thousand Foot Krutch, is a release that vies for the heavyweight title. Whether it's a frontal rap assault or a sung vocal melody, the grooves on this disc pack a lot of punch. The band kicks out the raps like "Puppet" and "Set It Off" with all the angst needed for a bold statement that not only delivers, but also powerfully brings the noise. Tunes like "When in Doubt" check in with an O.C. Supertones vibe, while "Rhime Animal" and "All the Way Live" weave the musical funk of the Red Hot Chili Peppers with the choruses of Limp Bizkit. Krutch covers EMF's "Unbelievable" with all-out fervor, intertwining an inspired spiritual rap with the infectious Top 40 chorus. "Supafly" represents a mishmash of hip-hop and heaviness -- the verse comes off like Eminem while the chorus ventures into Rage Against the Machine territory. Two songs on the disc bust out of the ring from the hardcore stance and drift into alternative, Top 40 territory.
