Crazy Town
The Gift Of Game (25th Anniversary) (red Vinyl)
"Come my lady/Come-Come my lady/You're my butterfly, sugar baby"_If there was a song-track to the turn of the
millennium, Crazy Town's "Butterfly" was it, starting with its appearance on the 1999 album Gift of Game and winding up
with its reign at #1 in the charts in February 2001. Anchored by a sample of Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Pretty Little
Ditty," it forever defined the term "nu-metal power ballad," and was a rare-for-the-genre love song to boot! But the
album from whence it came didn't fly as high as it did, with over 2.5 million copies sold, just because of "Butterfly."
The Gift of Game brings the noise with an all-out alternative metal assault, and the band's rappers_bolstered by guest
appearances from KRS-One and Mad Lion_are markedly better than their rap/metal contemporaries. And then there's the
album art, created by member Shifty Shellshock's father and uncle, which lends a vivid rendering to the fantasies of
every teenage boy listening to "Lollipop Porn." In short, this was a freakin' HUGE record that somehow_somehow!...has
NEVER been on vinyl. So how to handle its momentous debut on its 25th anniversary? Well, first, we've created an inner
sleeve with all of the lyrics (and there are a lot of `em).
