Album Review: MSTRKRFT – Fist Of God (Universal/Geffen)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 1 June 2009
The second album from MSTRKRFT (pronounced Masterkraft, for any late starters worrying about the lack of vowels) carries on the party with a riff-tastic collection of dance floor fillers. Featuring guest vocals from the likes of Ghostface Killah and N.O.R.E – who, on ‘Bounce’, has us jumping – ‘Fist Of God’ does offer some variety, though only on ‘Heartbreaker’ does the upbeat mood slow down at all. John Legend takes vocal duties on that one and it makes a nice counterpoint to the rest of the album. The title refers to a 70s synthesizer so big it takes up an entire room, and that seems apt considering that this album cries out to be played loud, proud and to a room full of sweaty dancers. There is nothing particularly new or particularly thought provoking on here, but if you want to get the party going you could do much worse. IM
