Real Warm for T.V.
, October 6, 2003Reviewer: spadesupreme - See all spadesupreme's reviews2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this Too Hot for T.V. review helpfulPros: Good music, good delivery, nice variety of songs
Cons: not too many...
This is a good album considering all the circumstances. They were rushed for time, didn't know each other (well), had different views, but it all came together. In some ways, it's kind of obvious that they rushed the album. Then again, they surprise you on a lot of songs. Overall, I give it a solid "B". Synergy gets them there because the sum is definitely greater than the individual parts. Hope they stick together.
I really think the problem is that not all six members were needed. I would say that when combined, they make a really strong 4-member group. Since it's six of them, you can see how the talent is spread a little thin. The only possible solo careers are Sara (Stokes), Miami (Frederick), and maybe Young City (Chopper) if he adds a bit more intensity -- Stop being so happy, kid! :) Ness, Babs, and Dylan break up the monotony, but don't deliver mind-boggling lyrics. I would have liked to see Dylan more, but according to the show, he shot himself in the foot. But if he goes solo, I think he'll be too much (energy, arrogance, trying too hard) to swallow at one time. ...

Pro Reviews: Too Hot for T.V.
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It goes without saying that Da Band, the second group to be put together through the reality series Making the Band, blows the original series' O-Town down the hallway, out of the window, and down the road. Unfortunately, that's not saying a whole lot, and it's not much of a selling point for them to get by on. Those who didn't miss an episode of the television series will at least be fascinated to hear the end result, but nothing can prevent Too Hot for TV from being a middle-of-the-road and forgettable debut. The whole process wasn't for naught, however. "Bad Boy This, Bad Boy That" was a smart choice for the first single, and not just because the title demonstrates that P. Diddy has fully embraced his hand-picked crew as full-fledged members of the Bad Boy family. Despite the fact that RB-oriented vocalist Sara is nowhere to be heard (she did take provocative stroll through the baseball field in the video, however), the song is easily the best track on the album, boasting some of Tony Dofat and P. Diddy's most infectious production work and just enough room for the remaining members to trade off rapid-fire lines. This is the one track where the "get as many members in on the action" gambit works. On most other songs, just when you're starting to get into someone's flow, someone else grabs the mic and disrupts a good thing. Puzzlingly enough, Mr. Bentley gets the uninterrupted spotlight to himself on "Cheers to Me Mr. Bentley," a track where Da Band is M.I.A. The lacking lines ("We're the hottest thing since microwave popcorn, dog") and derivative flows are all par for the course as far as debuts are considered; as a saving grace, at least half of the members prove to have a future well beyond this disc, including Freddrick, whose ravaged rasp is probably gruff enough to make the D.O.C. wince. - Andy Kellman, All Music Guide |
