The Fix [Explicit Lyrics] [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
What the world needs now is The Fix--a brilliant hip-hop album with the soul of a blues record. Dirty South iconoclast Scarface has never been afraid to get deep; at this point a lot of his young-man wildness has been replaced by a mature understanding of life's cyclical nature. Lyrically complex and leaning heavily on somber chords, acoustic guitars, and scratchy soul samples, The Fix is not a light and bouncy throwaway album, but one that demands repeated listening. Nonetheless, this is also no crossover attempt--all you get is superior hip-hop, accented with a touch of R&B vocals courtesy of Kelly Price, Faith Evans, and Tanya Herron. Standout tracks include "In Between Us," featuring an impassioned star turn by guest MC Nas (Nasir Jones), the Kanye West-produced "In Cold Blood," and the gangsta lean "Sellout." But there's no question that "On My Block," an instant classic, is hands down the best cut. --Rebecca Levine

A more tolerable commute.......2007-05-27

Ron White is hilarious; a great story teller. I commute in miserable traffic to Wash., DC and I need safe distractions. This is safe until I start cracking up. I can also listen to the cd a few times in a row and it just doesn't get old. If you appreciate "good old boy" humor, this one's for you. Very, very funny.

Very funny.......2007-01-11

I love Ron White so obviously I would rate his CD high. It's great to listen to with friends or on a long car ride. Definitely not something you want children listening to because of the language and content.

You Can't Fix Stupid.......2007-01-10

Ron White is always good,but this one stands out as an example of his sharp mind and cutting wit.

Yes you can!!.......2006-11-20

You can fix it, stupid!! Stop drinking and smoking for one!! This proves that Hillbillies will laugh at anything. Listen to SMART comedy, peo-ple! Like Woody or baron Cohen!!

Almost pornographic.......2006-08-14

I am a huge Ron White fan, so I hate to give it a low score - but this CD just seemed to me like he sunk to a new level. Almost every track on this CD is a crotch joke and/or relates to sex, and where I am definately not a prud - I felt a little sleazy for listening to it. I was very disappointed. I highly recommend his previous CD "Drunk In Public" instead.

Supposedly 'Face's last studio album - goes off on a high note.......2006-11-05

Mr. Scarface is undoubtedly a legend in the hip-hop community. While some artists get that unwarranted title of legendary simply because of their misfortune, or notoriety, Scarface developed that title the old-fashioned way; he earned it. With over a dime and a nickle in the game, Scarface, commercial success be dammed, will go down as one of the most influential emcees to ever pick up a microphone, and with good reason.

Not only is Scarface one of the most vivid storytellers in the game, but he basically crafted an entire sub-genre of hip-hop; and that would be the music coming from his native land of Houston. There isn't a single emcee coming out of Houston who hasn't been inspired by Scarface's bass-loaded voice, and slow funk grooves; from Chamillionaire, to Z-Ro, to Paul Wall, they all owe a large number of success to the don of Southern hip-hop.

While, in the past, and even now, most people recognize Southern emcees are lyrically inclined, Scarface took that stereotype, and shattered it into pieces each time he stepped in the booth, and even now, continues to on guest appearances. This is supposedly Scarface's last true album, as he's retired from active emceeing, and he goes off on quite a high note with his Def Jam debut(and, I guess, sole Def Jam release), The Fix.

While this album isn't quite consistant enough to warrant the classic title, at least for a 'Face album, it is very solid. One thing that could've pushed this album to the top is better production; some of the tracks are beautiful musically(such as the Kanye West offerings, and In Between Us), while others are only slightly above-average, and sometimes, merely average. Scarface brings the heat, but he's not up to his typical standards; there's no "I Seen A Man Die" on here, and though he may try to replicate his classic tracks of the past, he doesn't quite achieve this goal.

Other places, the music is just too awkward to get as involved into it as you should. In Between Us has a two-minute bridge in between 'Face and Nas' verses, and it's frustrating to ask exactly why they did this to a track that could've been a classic collaboration. The track with Beanie and Jay is odd, too - mainly because it's far more Rocafella than it is Scarface, and if I want Rocafella, I'll throw on one of Hov's albums.

Besides the few shortcomings, in the end, this is an album worth owning, especially as it's the last offering from one of hip-hop's true legends. The Fix may not be classic, but this album, and his previous ones will no doubt inspire young emcees to create classic albums in its wake; and that influence that Scarface carries is like few other.

Hasn't lost his touch.......2006-10-10

When this album first came out I was really skeptical upon buying it. I liked the 12 inch (My Block) but wasn't sure that the rest of the LP could be as good. I was so wrong. The lead single was one of the weaker songs found on this. I loved every second of this record. If you're also a huge fan of Scarface you gotta have this. It won't even let you down if your picky about his music and feel like only a few of his LPs were hot. Believe me when you read this that you have to have this in your collection its an essential. Peace!

Face Mob is the man and he proves it yet again.......2006-07-31

Im not going to lie i hate most of the stuff that comes out of the south, with a few excipions(no disrespect). Face has been in the game for over a decade now, and from the sounds of it he still has some gas in the tank. This was the best album that came out in 2002. Haild by critics as a more mature scarface whith amazing producion(Kanye West, Nashiem Myrick, Neptunes, and countless others i never herd of) and equally amazing lyricism. As the real king of the south, Scarface does a good job of keeping it real with gangster tracks such as Safe, Sellout, Hold Me Down and I Aint The One. The true gift Face Mob gives to the listner is the emoitional tracks. I never knew a rap song could move me like What Can I Do he toches on so many sudjects like a kid being born and at the same time a kid geting killed by his parents now thats deep you have to here it. There is also the Nas track, the heart felt In Between Us, its hard to say who is better on this amazing song, but i think Nas out shines Face just a little bit. With the mix tape burner, the best Kanye West songs, Guess Who's Back its a rap, you have one of the most compleat albums i ever herd. Solid cameos dont hurt ether (Jay-Z, Nas, Beanie Sigal,Kelly Price and countless others). Where's the grammy at.

Scarface-Greatest Hits

"In Between Us" is still the jam.......2006-03-18

Scarface been holdin' it down 4 da Souf & reppin' H-Town 4 a minute.

Everybody knows lyrically he's in that line of All-Time Greats with 'Pac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Hov, Rakim and KRS-One.

4 da most part any and all of 'Face's solo albums are cold (he's what made The Geto Boyz as hard-hitting as they were when they first came out).

This is my personal favorite 'Face solo album 4 2 reasons:

"On My Block" which was an oustandingly vivid track with a sick video.

"In Between Us", the track he did wit my boy Nas.

Lyrically, this is the best union since TuPac & 'Face did "Smile" back in tha day.

Highly recommended artist & recommended LP.

V-DoE aka The Analyzer.......2005-10-23

To give this album any less than a 4.5 would be an insult to the King (the original King of the South that is). The whole album is nothing but deep issues that are occuring everyday. This has got to be Face best album....next to Untouchable that is. Every track has a differnt message. You can literally listen to this whole album all they way through. If you've never listened to Scarface then you might not understand what he's preaching....but if you've been down since day one.....then you must have this album in your collection. Standout tracks includes #4 Guess Who's Back feat. Jay-Z, and Beanie Siegel, #5 On My Block, #7 What Can I Do feat. Kelly Price (beautiful song), #8 In Between Us feat. Nas, #9 Someday feat Faith Evans, #11 Heaven feat. Kelly Price (another beautiful track). Even the intro and outro are hard. So that's 8 tracks already out of 13. Nuff said!

Why is this lumped in with metal.......2007-07-15

I feel like necro is a stooge for metal. Hatebreed and who ever else wants to associate themselves with Necro probably do it as a goof to place theyre sound into the rap realm in a not to serious way. I don't hear anythihng relevant to metal with Necro. It's pure straight up rap. People mention the beats but, so what? Dr. Dre blows this poser away when Dre did Natural born killers. What the hell is so special about sampling music from a computer program anyway? literally takes no skill that any idiot can do. Playing an instrument takes skill which is something necro doesnt come close to doing.
As far as the necro sound, All Necro does is throw in some metal names and evil theme's into his raps but otherwise there isn't any creative union with metal. I can't imagine any metal guitarist wanting to do live riffs with necro. I saw them in the sounds of the underground tour and they only thing they succeeded on doing was getting most fans to go on a 45 minute lunch and bathroom break during their set. Sure there were a handfull of necro fans that were doing a stupid pit (one of the most pathetically small one's you will every see with Necro chanting "pit Pit"). The rest of the fan's that could stomach watching them were yelling to get off the F'n stage.

THE Best.......2006-10-25

as a guy who listens to G-Unit, Jay-Z, Xzibit, Jermaine Dupri, etc....
i enjoy this album alot.
i like the complex lyrics, the issues they talk about [suicide, gore and such].
Necro is an extreme rapper, and he does the job right.

TOO HARDCORE FOR COMMERCIAL HEADS.......2006-03-08

First off this cd aint for commercial heads,this cd is very well produced and will apply to anyone whit a open mind. The lyrical contents are morbid of course (its necro what do you think!) and well structured. A beautiful mix of metal whit hip hop a very good blend, picture old school metalica whit bones thugz rapping over the riffs.This basicly what it is a very strong production that will keep banging this record for years to come. I recommend this cd to anyone who wants to piss off people whit its content or just listen to something different and not the same repeative , lame crap u hear on the radio or tv. Ill put this way the contant of this cd is like slayer only more colorful and more porn stuff , if ya like porn, 86 measure of the game keep u happy , if ya like hardcore rap this is for u.

.................2006-01-14

Uhhhh..... This is music? Reminds me of a bad horror movie with no plot or point, just gallons and gallons of fake blood. Who writes this guys rhymes? You know I don't even care, what I'm more worried about is who the hxll buys enough of this guys cd's to warrant the 3 or 4 albums he has out? Do me a favor everyone, instead of buying Necro's Cd's lets all pitch in and help this poor white boy go out and find him a job. Remember, if we keep feeding him he'll never go home.
Late

4.5 STARS.......2005-12-21

Necro does it again, he truly is amazing. His lyrical skills are creative and humourous. He is one of the best producers in the rap game. I highly recommend this and all of the other Psycho+Logical-Records albums.

Customer Reviews:

Coldplay Does It Again.......2005-12-17

Coldplay Has Another AMAZING SINGLE. Fix You is a great song starting with Chris and his piano. Soon the rest of the band kicks in and rocks the rest of the song.
THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN: This song is the highlight of the b-sides and starts off with the words X and Y. From there the song gets better.
POUR ME: ANother good song from Coldplay that is heavy. This song would be better not live.

An alright single.......2005-12-03

You've probably heard "Fix You" by now so I won't spend any time commenting on it. I would like to give my own 2cents on the B-sides. I don't agree with the other reviewers here that "The World Turned Upside Down" should've made it onto X&Y. It sounds great until the chorus comes in. At that point it goes from being great to barely mediocre. It's like they put in the first chorus that came to mind instead of coming up with something catchy and original. They succeeded in doing this on X&Y and that's why this song is a b-side and not on the album. "Pour Me" is an alright track but nothing to write home about. It's also live so that takes away from the quality of the recording. Hope this review helps. BTW if you're looking for a good b-side, pick up the single for "Speed of Sound" because "Things I Don't Understand" is an excellent b-side and almost DID make it onto the album.

Second single from "X&Y" has great B-sides.......2005-10-23

"Fix Me" is the second single from Coldplay's "X&Y" album. Anyone that has seen Coldplay on their recently completed US tour, knows that "Fix Me" is the final song of the evening, and a very appropriate, almost cathartic, send-off.

"Fix Me" (3 tracks, 14 min., plus 1 video) also contains great B sides. "The World Turned Upside Down" is another solid "dramatic" song that for some reason is included only on the Japanese version of "X&Y", but really should have been included in all international versions of the album, as it starts of with the verse "X and Y, the land, see, rivers, trees, the stars, the sky" and thus in a sense is the title track of the album. "Pour Me" is another song from the "X&Y" sessions, brought here in a live version from Coldplay's show at the Hollywood Bowl earlier this year. Finally, pop the CD into your PC and you can play the video of "Fix Me".

Coldplay is one of the few bands (Oasis being another one) that releases singles that are worth seeking out for the B sides. "Fix Me" is another great example of that. Recommended for Coldplay completists.

Fixed Down.......2005-10-22

When it actually comes to great songs from the pop scene right now, there always is a act that can make good tracks, but can awkwardly have a mixed bag in one as well. Coldplay has been one of those acts that have made some great strides in some of the most solid tracks out there in the scene the past few years. Their latest single is that example. Fix You, the second track from their record X&Y is a more somber, but somehow a slightly fair song. It actually isn't one of their best songs, but it isn't a bad song at all. Although the track doesn't measure up like Speed Of Sound did, it still is worth glancing at for any Coldplay fan.

Song: C

Excellent EP.......2005-10-08

This EP is absolutely fantastic. It really annoys me that most people have heard "Speed of Sound" (best song on X & Y), but haven't heard "Fix You".
"The World Turned Upside Down" is the highlight of the b-sides. This song should have been put on X & Y. "Poor Me" is also pretty good. "Fix You- Live" is excellent. The timing of the blast once the drums come in is a few milliseconds late, but other than that, it's fantastic.
It's cheaper to buy this EP on iTunes ($3), and benefits go to the American Red Cross.

HBO's pioneering series takes the dark carnival gambit of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, drops it in the bleak heartland of Dust Bowl-era America and jolts it with a compelling undercurrent of Biblical apocalypse. That's no easy dramatic flux to musically evoke, but veteran TV composer Jeff Beal graces the show with cues that seamlessly fuse Appalachian folk traditions with a brooding, goth-inspired ambient gloom. The anxious solo fiddle of the show's theme is a repeating motif, one the composer uses to variously evoke melancholy ("Dora Mae's Funeral"), bittersweet romance ("Rita Sue and Jonesy") or supernatural wonders ("Ben Heals the Girl"). Beal's use of mournful solo horn (as on "Mark of the Beast") often heralds the show's undercurrent of Biblical doom, while his hesitant, haunting piano passages seem to hang in the air for eternity. The evocative cues here stand in stark contrast to the oft-quirky jazz cool of the composer's Emmy-winning work on Monk, ample tribute to Beal's masterful abilities to channel his musical instincts into even the most diverse dramatic material. --Jerry McCulley

A Morality Play for the 21st Century.......2002-12-29

I had the privilege of hearing this in it's first incarnation, when it was originally being written. John Dempsey is a brilliant lyricist, a wit and talent for the stage. Dana Rowe's music is challenging and modern. This has changed a bit since I first read the book and heard the music. The Ballad of Bobby "Cracker" Barrell is still my favorite. This is a must have for any theater buff. A must have for any musician with a discriminating palate.

An unbelievable musical!.......2002-05-26

When I bought this CD, I knew nothing about it. I had heard the shortened version of "1, 2, 3" on the Hey, Mr Producer! video. I knew that John Barrowman (drool...) was in it, and that Philip Quast was, too (after hearing him as Javert in Les Miz, I fell in love with his voice),so I figured I should give it a try, why not? Well, I fell in love with it the 1st time I heard it! Don't be turned off by the fact that its about politics-- I have absolutely no interest in politics whatsoever, and I still love it. John Barrowman is Cal, a drug-addicted, unmotivated slacker who is forced by his power hungry mother to enter the world of politics. Barrowman has a gorgeous voice and puts lots of emotion into all his songs. Not bad looking either!! And Philip... he plays Grahame, Cal's cynical,crippled uncle who happens to have a slight crush on Cal. I love all the songs- especially 1,2,3, Cal's opening number which expresses his philosophy of life, America's Son, in which Cal is taught all he needs to know about politics, and First Came Mercy, where Grahame tells of his life as a cripple. The whole score is very fast and edgy-like nothing else I've ever heard before. I mean, have you ever heard a musical before where half the time, the main character is tripping on acid? You should get this CD. Trust me you'll love it!

Love it, but hate it too.......2001-06-26

The Fix is a pretty above-average musical of late, with its catchy/varied songs and its all-too accurate themes of politics. However, the entire thing is depressingly cynical, unbelievably cynical, and even though the tragedies of Cal and his manipulating Uncle grip you, there is no alternative offered, and no redemption for any of the characters in the play. I listened to it a bunch at first, and eventually had to shelf it- too many problems revealed, not a single one reconciled.

Original, Innovative and Amazing!.......2000-09-20

Like others before me I bought this CD out of curiousity having heard the song "One, Two,Three" on the Cameron Mackintosh tribute show.

Imagine a combination of Tommy and Chicago with some quite amazing vocal performances. John Barrowman, Philip Quast and Kathryn Evans stand out particularly. The storyline was strong, the music inspiring, the performances faultless. I was left with a burning desire to see the show in the flesh as it were.

I would definitely recommend this CD. Enjoy!

Who said politics are boring.......2000-08-10

Some of the best musicals I've ever heard are the ones that dare to tackle intense subject matter. The Musicals of Kander and Ebb come to mind, as do specific titles by the incomparable Sondheim. Well here comes the next new collaboration. John Dempsey and Dana P Rowe. The two made a bizarre start with their cult musical "Zombie Prom" Off-Broadway, and who just made it big in London with "The Witches of Eastwick." But here is where the began to make their name. They wrote "The Fix" A Smart, risque, and aggressive poilitcal satire. Which boasts an electric score and lyrics that were written to shock surprise and encourage genuine emotion in all it's forms. "The Fix" Is truly an original in every shape way and form. With characters that musicals have never dared to portray. Same goes with the story.

The story goes like this.

The nation is in mourning for the death of potential president Reed Chandler. And his family...? Well they're less than ecstatic, considering he died between the legs of his mistress. Well Reed's power-mad wife Violet has announced, "If I can't be the wife of the President, you can bet your ass, I'll be his mother." By that she's referring to her unambitious, drug addicted son Cal. Violet beckons and ultimately forces her Polio-stricken brother-in-law Graham to train him in the ways of political ethics, and nurture him all the way to the white house.
But what they discover is that the road between here and there is a bumpy one.

this production was directed by "American Beauty" Oscar winning director Sam Mendes, and it shows. Mendes possesses the prowess of shocking the audience, and for making the actors go beyond the bounds of duty. John Barrowman's portrayal of Cal. Is truly gripping and his singing voice is incredible. No one else could ever sing the song "One, Two, Three" like Barrowman can. Next there's Philip Quast's overly sympathetic performance as Graham. He makes you absolutely pity him in the back-to-back songs "Two Guys at Harvard" and "First Came Mercy." then there's the third pivotal player Kathryn Evans as the megalomaniacal widow Violet. You see her character go through some savage turbulence in the course of events. You practically see her at her worst in the song "Spin" when she's drunk and delirious.

The Fix is another musical I feel deserves more attention that it has recieved. One of those that dares to be different. And if you wanna hear what I'm talking about BUY THIS CD!

A Masterpiece.......2007-06-20

Clear and crisp and played with vigor and heart. Mass call is of course Mess Call that someone spelled wrong. What worked for me is that I review four or five calls each night before bed. I hum them first and then listen to the call on the CD. The next day, I work out on the bugle until lip fatigue sets in.

Clear and simple.......2006-08-04

Single bugle calls, clear and simple-recognizable to this Navy/Marine Corps veteran. Also some army stuff if you desire that sort of thing. Quite a lot of quality stuff.

I AM LOVING THIS CD!!!.......2007-05-05

I HAVE BEEN AN NKOTB FAN SINCE 20 YRS AGO AND JUST RECENTLY STUMBLED UPON A VIDEO OF JORDAN PERFORMING HIS SONG "YOUR MAN" FROM THIS EP AND IMMEDIATELY BECAME HOOKED ONCE AGAIN. SINCE THEN, IVE PURCHASED THIS CD, HIS LOVE SONGS CD, HIS FIRST SOLO CD, & THE ONE WHERE HE PERFORMS THE NKOTB HITS. ALL OF WHICH ARE VERY IMMPRESSIVE AND MADE ME FALL IN LOVE HIM ALL OVER AGAIN. I AM EVEN FLYING TO MIAMI FROM TEXAS TO SEE HIM PERFORM, FIRST TIME EVER! CANT WAIT!!!

Awesome.......2006-11-17

I have been a fan of Jordan Knight and the other New Kids since 1988. I remeber seeing them in concert when I was 13 back in 1990. Here it is 16 years later and I am still following what the boys are up to. Although Jordan's self titled debut took a while to grow on me, when it did I was hooked. The Fix is a well balanced EP of new material. I was hoping for a whole album, but an EP is way better than nothing. Anyway, when I bought it I instantly loved it. Its about half ballads and half up-tempo tracks. A different but still intelligent non-sappy pop album. I don't know what to compare it to because it really holds its own in terms of sound and style. Probably not too many people know about this EP, but those that do can appreciate it and enjoy it. I'm happy Jordan and Joey are still making music that is even better than their group stuff. As long as you keep making music Jordan, I will buy it. Love Songs is great too, although I can't wait for an album of all new material. Keep em coming Jordan.

The fix is awesome.......2006-07-06

This cd Is really good. I like all of the songs they are all great. My song that I really like is Where is your heart Tonight. Just listen to the samples you will fall in love with the cd Like I did.

Wow! Fantastic album!.......2006-06-01

This recent offering from Jordan Knight proves how he's matured musically since his NKOTB days. There are a couple of ballads on there which are amazing, including "Where Is Your Heart Tonight" (which has done really well in the US A/C charts) and "Have You" - both are the gorgeous love songs you'd expect from JK and not at all like the cheesy 80's offerings from his New Kids past (although I did love NK's too! LOL!).

The rest of the album is up-tempo. The title track "The Fix" is a fast raunchy tune featuring music greats Doug. E Fresh and Slick Rick that you just can't help dancing to!

"Don't Cry" is a dance track that actually did brilliantly in the Spanish charts, hence the reason for a Spanish version on the album! I love it! It shows Jordan's amazing falsetto off fantastically against a different beat, proving he's a master of all musical genres!

My personal favourite on the album is "Keep It On The Sly", again upbeat, this tune tells the sexy story around keeping a relationship secret! It's fab, you'll love it!

All told, if you don't love this album I'll be surprised! Don't think New Kids, think US version of George Michael - there's always something different and brilliant coming!

Certainly "Fixed" my longing for some new Jordan Knight music!.......2006-05-03

As Jordan's first full studio album came out in 1999, it was a long wait for The Fix. So was it worth it? I knew it was the moment I heard the first track. Where Is Your Heart Tonight is a stirring ballad and it's hard to say whether I preferred this version or the acoustic version which follows later on. Have You, another ballad, really showcases Jordan's amazing falsetto voice and shows that he certainly still has "The Right Stuff"! (New Kids fans will know what I'm talking about here)

The Fix, Keep It On The Sly and Your Man are more uptempo r'n'b tracks which not only had me tapping my toes in time to the beat but also brought back great memories of the times I have been lucky enough to see this very talented singer and performer live in concert - not to be missed if you get the chance. There's even a Spanish version of "Don't Cry" on this CD!

If you are a Jordan Knight or New Kids On The Block fan, this CD is a must for your collection. If you aren't, give it a try, I think you'll be won over!

Album Description

The first time Ubiquity heard Nino Moschella's demo they were blown away by his gritty and soulful vocal styling and unique lo-fi funk productions and signed him-up instantly. "The Fix" is his debut album, and is a forward thinking blend of backyard funk, psychedelic soul, and '60's rock. Moschella blurs the lines between electronic and acoustic music, and tracks on The Fix have been compared to Sly Stone, Prince, and Dr John. Recorded entirely at his roundhouse studio in the woods outside of Yosemite, CA. Moschella handles almost all of the instruments and vocals himself.

Cool sound.......2007-06-13

This is a great album. The music has a funky feel that is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. It's unlike anything I've heard from other artists lately. I'd definitely recommend it to freshen up any music library.

A Shining Star.......2006-08-18

The English language does not have enough words to describe this incredible talent!! If you purchase this CD you will NOT be disappointed. One word that does describe Alexis is "Powerful".
I had the privilege of seeing her perform last year in Woodstock at Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble and was blown away by her and her Brooklyn based band (The Bennett Brothers). This CD moves you through a myriad of emotions and is well presented by recording engineer and producer Vicki Bell, who co-writes many of the selections and appears in the line up of back up singers as well. The musicianship is superb, and along with some very tasty engineer techniques makes this a must for your music library. As Alexis say's "There is something for everyone here", from the very soulful blues of "Never", the fast moving "Ride-Ride" and the pop sounding "More To This" (one of my favorites!), and don't miss "Da Hood". It is hard to categorize Alexis and this CD into a specific style of music, you will just have to listen and judge for yourself. You will come away smiling and feeling very satisfied.
