Trik Turner [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Trik Turner isn't rap-rock or nu metal, though they incorporate elements of both genres into their major-label debut. At times, the Phoenix sextet is more akin to alt-rockers Everlast, especially on "Sacrifice" and "Friends & Family." On the latter, TT flesh out soulful, acoustic-influenced hip-hop with a lovely string arrangement. From the hip, midtempo rhythmic rock of "Existence," Trik Turner create a familiar sound that's nevertheless slightly distinct from their Creed- and Korn-spawned brethren. Like Papa Roach, family life is explored in the aggro but dynamic "Father," while rap-ghetto stylings render Ace Frehley's "New York Groove" nearly unrecognizable. The latter part of the album is more rap leaning, with "Black Sheep" and "Triks of the Trade" standing out. If Trik Turner covers a lot of the ground between the rap and rock worlds, they do so with style, substance, and a signature sound. --Katherine Turman

Yeah!!!.......2005-02-02

I think this band is just awesome. This album has some soft rock on it, but on the other hand it also has some rap/rock on it. My favourite song is definitely Friends & Family. It's a soft rock ballad and it has a very catchy tunes and great lyrics. I also liked Existence and Sacrifice very much. Other songs that I think are also great are Ish, New York Groove and Father.
This album is a great mix of rap and rock. In some songs rap is more dominant in others rock. So there's something for everyone. If you like music from Linkin Park, Papa Roach and Three Days Grace, and if you like Everlast's singing (the singer sounds just like him on Friends & Family), you'll like this one too.

This is awesome work. Trik really put out some quality stuff with this. this music is a little of everything from the soft rock "friends and family" , "Im not like you" " to the rap/metal songs "new york groove" , "let it rip" and "ish". Every song on this album is great.....great for bumping in the car. Best song: New York Groove.

Idiots..........2004-05-27

People should definitely do more investigating before buying an album. Friends and Family is definitely NOT the only good song on here. I've had this CD for years, and still love it. Rap rock is something not too tolerable for me anymore, but this album has creative beats, interesting lyrics and a fair dose of guitars. Every track kicks ass. This comes from a fan of metal, not hip hop. I usually listen to stuff like Emperor and Type O Negative.

Not for rockers .........2004-04-17

why do i say this , cause hip hop lovers would understand and appreciate this more . This is smooth and ive read the lyrics , they are pretty decent . This band is ''just'', its not over done , too loud its just smooth and good .

Don't Waste Your Money..........2003-08-04

I bought this boring album after hearing "Friend & Family", which I thought, and still think, is a beautiful song. That's their only beautiful, or even good, for that matter, song. The rest of the songs are either too cocky, repeatitive, have too much rap, have stupid lyrics, show bad musicianship, or just sound too unoriginal to enjoy. Skip this CD, and for that matter, skip all raprock albums in which rap is dominant over rock...except for Transplants. Want some good raprock? Check out Linkin Park, P.O.D., or Papa Roach.

My favorate band in the world........2004-10-17

Yes Trik Turner is the best. They incorperate soft rock, metal and some influence of hip hop. There are awesome. This is cd is always in my possesion. The standout song(s) are "friends and family" and "let it rip". this is a must buy for everyone. Some people may relate the sound of Trik Turner to Papa Roach.
