Wicked Wisdom
I went into this review as skeptical as anyone and expected little from this debut album from the band fronted by actress Jada Pinkett-Smith.

The Garden of Unearthly Delights

Dave Patchett art, Lee Dorrian's mad warble, delightfully silly movie samples, and most importantly, lurching, fetid SAB grooves grinding in first gear across the English countryside in varying degrees of doominess.
