This is honestly a difficult album to truly internalize. Clouded by a sense of longing, Injury Reserve have crafted the most cryptic yet emotionally revealing LP of the year.
The sampling in this is "Paul's Boutique" levels of unreal. You can't just sample Animals as Leaders and get away with it! Four albums in and Peggy absolutely delivers. He and Injury Reserve are on top of the experimental hip-hop game right now.
With the band flirting with death metal in this latest EP and armed with the conceptual ambition the scale of "Zombie", A Tear In The Fabric Of Life is shaping up to be the best hardcore project of the year.
