With the cynical ladies of "Parlor Party" sneering "Beauty exists on the inside, who told you that ma, they lied", there's no doubting that the Majesticons are intended as Ladd's damning indictment of big bucks hip-hop and all who feed off it. The only flaw in his plan is that they're also masters of inventiveness and addictive tunes, and as such almost heroic. The Pet-Boys-referencing-R&B of "Brains Party" delivers the most seductive of smooches and "Helicopter Party" sounds like Sly Stone cruising in outer space. Meanwhile, the sci-fi bleep funk of "Fader Party" could have them mistaken for the Neptunes' underground cousins, which can only be a good thing. --Dan Gennoe
