Chim Chim's Badass Revenge

Some 10 years into their recording career, Fishbone had experienced all the struggle, hype and exasperation of the music industry, and cynicism rings through <i>Chim Chim</i> loud and clear. At the start, a voiceover announces that the band is "the only antidote that humanity will ever know"; two songs later Angelo Moore croons about poop in the distended thrash-funk of "In the Cube", then outdoes himself with "Nutmeg", 10 minutes of smouldering grindcore soul. In between, Busta Rhymes drops in to mosh-hop on "Psychologically Overcast".
