After 'Leftoverz' in early 2005, Monk & Turroe decided their next release would be a double-pack containing a solo album each - this is Mr Monk's album, 'Destroy All Heroes' - download it and listen in awe, muddy funsters!

REVIEW:

If I were you I'd get over to www.fatclubonline.com because they're selling two bangers for the price of one with their new release, and believe me, it's worth it. The Fat Club boys have given us a real treat with their latest release, with each member, Monk and Steve Gough (Turroe) delivering a solo album each.

First up is Monk's - Destroy All Heroes (appropriate title for this website), a 15 track album, with production of the highest quality, which you somehow take for granted after hearing their previous releases, most the beats are hard and uptempo. Lyrically, it's typical Fat Club, with the emphasis on humour, but not as regularly on this album as Steve Gough's, Still Startin S***, 'Butcherism' with it's electric guitar loop is the perfect example, with Junior Disprol and Turroe helping out on the vocals. Turroe also features on the following track 'Theme From The Cheap Seats' along with Probe Mantis from Aspects, which for me is probably the best produced track over the two albums. The first of my personal favourites is, 'For The Sake Of It' a hard, well produced uptempo beat, which switches from hard drums and guitars to strings and brass perfectly half way through.

Other standout tracks are, the humorous 'Those C***s Can't Rhyme', name checking many emcee's in the chorus, who basically, can't rhyme and the brilliant 'Demons' featuring Optimus Prime, using the same 'Demons On Earth' sample the Demon Boyz used to great effect, the beat on this track is awesome, with a guitar loop throughout and another switch in beat towards the end, in fact there's more switches on this album than you'll find in a lighting shot.

It's good to see 'Shadow Spitter' on here as an official track as I feel it was to good to get lost in the hidden section of the 'Leftoverz' album, wicked drums and lyrically hard. Overall though, there's not a bad track on here, the main standout for me is the production, which I feel is some of the best around at the moment, not taking anything away from the lyrical content or the vocals, but the beats are of the highest order.
