Hollywood Who?
by Einar Slime
2loose has proven once again to be one of the great genre busters. From the plucky electro funk of his hit, Dr. Boomboom, to his grungy head-banging synth metal (Boob Tube of Doom), 2loose has taken a sonic plunge from the lofty heights of “Up Against The Wall” (his first cd) and into the pits of comic mischief and thundering drum beats with his latest collection on “Hollywood W***e.” Every one of these jams is classic 2loose, a style that has been clearly honed thru the last few decades to leave us now with this opus magnum. In his lyrics one wonders to what extent these teen-angst yearnings are autobiographical. How sane is this guy, really after all these years? Do city women truly act like “Dogs In The Street?” In this twisted universe that is 2loose anything is possible. Shreds of his sci-fi glam roots show through the floorboards in his “Ladybug” (a sick erotic nightmare with a six-legged girly monster) and bad B movie inspirations ring true in “Bland of the Dead.” But even when the beat is done, you’re still fist-pounding the air and laughing at the classic lines (you're the devil in my rock and roll) and (back when I bled, you really turned my head) or my favorite (let me lyposuc your butt). He’s a street s**t, he’s Dr Boomboom, he’s “Just A Star” and this time if he does have something worthwhile to say, he’s buried it so far beneath that witty snarl that it'll take you several listens just to soak up all the fun. This is porn punk; this is mind metal. This is 2loose. He’s back. Boy is he back!
