Dislocated Styles are a six-piece from Arizona who, on <I>Pin the Tail on the Honkey</I>, take the crunchy guitars of nu metal and stuff them full of deep 1970s funk, B-boy rapping, jazz piano, old-time rock, and some hilarious scratching. Not for them the big-shorts and angst favored by their contemporaries; they prefer a much more fluid, soulful sound as typified by the deep piano and close mic rapping of "Unified." In fact, Dislocated Styles are so keen not to be lumped in with the current crop of wannabe rap-metal heroes that they take a swipe at Limp Bizkit on "Revolution" and sample James Brown on "Liquefied." Throughout <I>Pin the Tail on the Honkey</I>, pop sensibilities can't help but surface, with both "Possessed by Demons" and "Clocks" sounding like Top 10 hits already, yet when they turn it up and rock out as they do on "Reckoning," they have all the force of a 10-ton hammer. <I>--William Luff</I>

5 out of 5 stars Caught me off guard!.......2003-03-08

Me and a friend were at the music store, he had a CD in mind, I didn't. I caught Dislocated Styles on the "New CD" rack and flipped it over. I saw the Roadrunner label logo, which surprised me, cause the name Dislocated Styles, and Pin The Tail on the Honkey didn't seem like anything inside was rock. But I thought it could be and trusted Roadrunner from other bands like Slipknot, Dry Kill Logic, Spineshank, Soulfly and Coal Chamber.

I never heard a song from this CD until I bought it. It surprised me. It had a corny sound, but something new, and I dove into the sleeve and read along the lyrics as the songs played. There writing is very good and has something deep to it, although the way they play it doesn't.

Like some of the band members say on there site. They get fans that they would have never thought they would have, that listen to completely different styles of music. This is true, if I had heard that they were completely rap/rock or funk before I bought it. I probably wouldn't have. If your looking for something new and want something to kickback to, then this CD is a great buy.

Alright, take a deep breath. And listen.

Yes, they're cool.
Yes, they have style.
Yes, they have talent.
But the distcance between that and calling them "the best" and "fresh" is F-A-R!

I like them, they're a talented bunch. But I don't see anything original about them. They've got the tools, got the rhymes and got the look - but what are they contributing? What's "fresh" about them?..

Nothing.

Buy this if you like pattern, if you like the usual in Rap-Core, Funk-Metal and the likes.

Don't but this if you're looking for an original work of art.
Sorry.

This was a friends old boyfriend so I wrote them a good review... truth is I never listened after the first single, and apparently have not blown up in the last 6 years. If I could change the star count to 2, I would. Updated 2006 Peace..
