NOT Correct Album

Following last year's multiplatinum EP, Creepin' on Ah Come Up, Bone have put together a debut long-player that builds on everything the first record promised. That is, E.1999 Eternal contains some of the most beautiful music you'll ever be repulsed by. Bone's vocal style is so tuneful and harmonically coordinated that it sounds more like a ghostly chant/sing than like traditional rap. But like Boyz II Men's evil twins, Bone offer up a complex potion of bittersweet crooning and poisonous rapid-fire rhyming that takes us deep into the dark side of life and the twisted side of death. That E.1999 Eternal is so musical only makes its noxious lyrical content all the more subversive. --Roni Sarig
