Editorial Review:
Crystal Method's Legion of Boom lives up to its title, dropping blasts of thumping samples, catchy riffs, and dependable grooves. But as with previous records like 2001's Tweekend, a chaotic, industrial darkness lurks around the edges that has little in common with the sheen of commercial dance. Many still compare Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland to the Chemical Brothers and their Big Beat, arena-pleaser cousins. But Boom sounds more like Nitzer Ebb in a good mood, or an angst-free Front 242. The duo has invited another batch of touchy-feely artists to contribute, like those noted softies Wes Borland and John Garcia, formerly of Limp Bizkit and Kyuss, respectively. Don't think for a second they aren't all having a blast, mixing in big, dumb hair metal with abandon. Most fun of all is the boost singer/actress Milla Jovovich gives to "I Know It's You," weaving her tweaked voice through a forest of tangled keyboards. With its bombastic techno-jams, Legion of Boom definitely makes for a tasty party record. Just keep the lights down as low as the bass end if you really want to capture the mood. --Matthew Cooke

My personal favorites?
1. Starting Over (absolutely mesmerizing bass)
2. Born Too Slow (popular for a reason, high-speed chase music)
3. Weapons Of Mass Distortion (truly amazing, ... Read More

Rating: - Crystal strikes GOLD
Now, I am familiar with a few of The Crystal Method's older works but not all of them. I've always kind of admired them from afar sort of afraid to jump right in and give them the "GO AHEAD" signal. They have always produced body rocking head bobbing beats that make you want to get up and dance or just hum along to the tune all day long. This album was the one that got me hooked.
I can play this c.d. from track #1 all the way through without skipping a song and not loosing the good vibes ... Read More
