Bad Brains - does this band really need an introduction? Unfortunately - yes. Partly because we currently live in such a sad state of affairs that most metal and rock fans don't even remember this brilliant band and partly because, well, the Bad Brains have pretty much been hiding under a rock for the last 17 years. Let me clue you in then - the Bad Brains are perhaps one of the most important bands of the 80s. Besides helping invent hardcore punk, they also explored alt-metal areas such as mixing reggae and funk with metal, while at the same time being an incredibly adventurous and spontaneous band. Without the Bad Brains, hardcore would be much different nowadays, Mike Patton wouldn't have had a great template to base his own vocal experiments on, funk metal, rap metal, dub metal and nu metal might not have even existed? I think this is enough to get most of you at least a little interested in what the band's latest, reunion LP, Build A Nation is like.

Quite ok songs but nothing that I could call as best BB material. The band tried to go back to more HC sound and it kind of succeeded; it has some of the old feel to it without the extremeness and the vocals aren't as impressive.

I have listened to the album twice just recently and its result has been pretty neutral experience; it's not either highly disappointing or amazing.
