"As a long-time Faith No More fan, I think it's awesome that Chuck Mosley is back out there making music. I have one Cement album (the self-titled one) and it was awesome, but had some short-comings in sound quality (production, not music).



Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food is a great return for Chuck Mosley. The album is great from start to finish, and every song is unique and fresh here. My favorites here are "Come Around", "Tractor", and "Punk Rock Movie". I have to admit that I would have bought the album anyway based on the free mp3 release of Tractor to promote the album, and I was blown away that the rest of the album was just as good. I listen to this one all the way through- there's not one bad moment on it at all.



"We Care a Lot" is a highlight here as well. Chuck has obviously been through ups and downs, and in and out of music, and in the end the fact that he can redo this song with Roddy, do it in a way that is both unique and just as good as the originals, and be able to laugh at himself at the same time ("We care a lot... About the fact that I can still get paid for doing this song ...I really care a about the fact that I can still get CDs from Tu-Pac, I really, really mean that").



If you have a chance, pick this one up. And if Chuck has a chance, I beg you to re-release some Cement! Mosley does a great job of putting together great lyrics, one of the most unique voices in the business, and great musicians (yes the band rocks) to make one hell of a comeback. Every time I see this album mentioned anywhere, you see nothing but comments like "Welcome Back, Chuck". Well I agree. Welcome back, the fans care a lot."
