ODDITIES The Scenic Route ( Battleaxe) Rating: NNN
Rating: NNNNN
While it’s not an album you’ll prize forever and recite the lyrics to in your sleep and weave into your wedding vows (like Biggie’s Ready To Die), this is a solid, fun disc and a prime example of six dudes who just want to scream on the mike and do what they gotta do. Tracks like Weakdays and Givin’ It Up would be impressive on the strength of their beats and hooks alone, but elements like breath control and lyrical wit elevate Oddities’ game.
