Broke

By Andrew Ross

Just what the world needs: another talentless metal band teamed up with a wannabe DJ and a "rapper" to form a rap/metal group. Broke, Hed’s second release, makes one doubt that they possess half a dozen brain cells between the six of them. The album is unworthy of the designation "sophomore release" because it implies maturation, which hasn’t happened since seventh grade. The last track is the only one worth listening to as they give up on the rap/metal pretense. However, these guys do have an audience: if you’re 23 and still in grade school, you’ll think they’re the coolest guys ever.
