(2 Customer Reviews)
Medication could be considered by some as a supergroup of sorts, as the band is comprised of former members from Ugly Kid Joe, Machine Head, Life of Agony, Dayinthelife, Skrew, and Soulfly, yet while Medication's full-length debut does boast trademark styles from each aforementioned group, it unfortunately is stuck being nothing more than an average alternative metal release. Since the group's formation, Medication has been viewed as one of the underground's most reliable forces in modern metal. As a result, Prince Valium had to be considered one of the most anticipated albums of 2002. There are several great songs captured within this 13-track album, yet it seems that in their rush to land a record deal and get their name seen, these five men spent little time forming a spectacular product for their fans. Whitfield Crane's nasal voice is rather subdued here, rarely striking forth with the brazen originality he once was recognized for. The same goes for Logan Mader, one of the metal scene's most notorious guitarists. It's not that Prince Valium suffers simply from a multitude of faceless tracks that melt into one another with little fluctuation, although this is a contributing factor, but rather that Medication just doesn't seem to be trying too hard. It seems as if these musicians have instead relied on their mutual name power to propel them to the front of an extremely competitive music scene. Where their earlier EP was effective in creating interest, Prince Valium seems to have little growth, and at times even steps backwards rather than capitalizing on the groundwork laid down beforehand. When the members of Medication combine their collective mindset, they succeed quite well, as "Xanax," "Now and Again," and the title track attest, but the album is bogged down with plentiful amounts of filler. With many debuts, it is expected that groups will still be working out their bugs, yet in Medication's case this shouldn't be a factor since each and every one of the musicians has vast amounts of experience (excluding drummer Trey, who replaced Ray Mayorga when he returned to the Soulfly fold). It may have been in Medication's best interest to follow up the earlier EP with another EP comprised of the best songs offered here, yet as it stands, Prince Valium is relegated to the sidelines of the nu-metal scene rather than the forefront, where Medication rightfully should be. ~ Jason D.

CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE, which features "music from and inspired by" the action film of the same name, is a tough, well-put-together collection of aggressive East Coast hip-hop that perfectly mirrors the gritty urban setting of the movie. The disc opens with a ferocious duo of tracks featuring DMX (who stars in CRADLE TO THE GRAVE with martial arts master Jet Li). "X Gonna Give It To Ya" is classic DMX: all rough, snarling vocals, rock-hard beats, and plenty of barking. "Go To Sleep," a collaborative effort with Eminem, is a brutal, cinematic gangsta track that may shock those only familiar with the rapper's poppier side.
There's also Foxy Brown's "My Life," which chillingly examines hip-hop's blurring of fantasy and reality when it comes to violence, and "What's It All For" by Bazaar Royale, which uses a heavy guitar sample from neo-grunge rockers CKY, recalling Public Enemy's classic early-'90s collaborations with Anthrax. Unlike many soundtrack albums, which appear to be cobbled together simply to make a few extra bucks, CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE is an extremely cohesive album and may even emerge as a more substantial work than ...

Prince Valium album
$11.39 Principally recorded at Baseline, Quad, Sony Music, and Hit Factory Studios, New York, New York.
For his fourth release Cam'ron enlists the talents of three up-and-comers (Juelz Santana, Freeky Zeekey, and Jimmy Jones) for a colorful and extended foray through New York mores in general and those of their respective 'hoods in Harlem in particular. A typical cut, "Ground Zero," is ostensibly 9/11-related, but closer listening will reveal that it's about that gangsta staple, drugs, the thugs that deal them, and the marks that take them. There are flashes of humor amid the gritty material; "Real Ni***s," with its accompanying skit, neatly skewers the "keeping it real" philosophy, and has a smooth Gamble & Huff sample to boot.

Prince Valium CD music
$10.79 This release includes a bonus DVD featuring an interview with King Diamond.
Kim Bendix Petersen, better known as King Diamond, has built an empire out of wailing spirits, singing spiders, and voodoo priestesses. His 11th full-length ghost story, The Puppet Master, centers around an unfortunate man, his girlfriend, and a husband and wife team of puppet masters as they abuse and torture their subjects somewhere in Budapest. Diamond wisely forgoes his usual cheeseball spoken-word intro and simply launches into "Midnight," a melodic dirge that ranks high amongst his huge -- and often inconsistent -- body of work. The brutal "Emerencia" features stellar guitar work from Andy LaRocque -- the thread that binds each and every King Diamond album -- and "The Ritual" aptly deals with the popular heavy metal theme of souls burning in Hell -- lyrical prowess has never been his forte. ...
