"At first I heard of Stuck Mojo through a magaine ad for Century Media, a German Death Metal Label to which Stuck Mojo are signed. As being not a fan of Death metal itself, I decided not to like Stuck Mojo, figuring that they were like Emperor or Tiamat. After recently purchasing 311's "Live" album, I read in the liner notes that 311 had toured with Sutck Mojo. I thought they couldn't be that heavy to tour with a rap metal band such as 311 or Korn. I went and bought the CD and realized that this band was much similar to 311, but much like fellow metallers Sevendust, they had a heavier groove. I really enjoy listening to this album daily, and it is a must-have for fans of New Metal, Pimpcore, or Hardcore Punk. Really Enjoyable!"

The under-rated pioneer of the genre gets better and better!

"Stuck Mojo (www.stuckmojo.net), one of the earliest poineers of the "rap/metal" genre, is also the most uncredited, under-rated and best of the bunch. Mojo is probably the only band that has actually created a successful, seamless blending of the varying musical styles that are rap/hiphop/heavy metal. Rich Ward (www.thedukerocks.com) is also one of the best heavy guitarists (and very influential according to interviews with current guitar stars). Ward has a knack for creating very heavy, crushing yet melodic sounds that get in your head and you just can't stop listening to the songs. The music sounds genuinely unique, original, and authentically Mojo. You know Ward's sound whether you hear it in Mojo or his other band Fozzy. This band and musical effort will remain a timeless classic for the decades to come. I never cease to be amazed by the virtuosity and quality of this music and love love love it!!!"

"Stuck Mojo is easily one of the best and most underrated bands ever. This album is a must for any Mojo fan! The Mojo crew grooves like no other. Rich's tone knows no equal and the leads are perfect without a lot of excessive noodling about on the fretboard. No speed metal here - just pounding rhythms with rap type vocals. (Not to be compared to inferior groups such as Limp Bizkit) Stuck Mojo succeeds with power not speed."

The best rap-metal album ever! Stuck Mojo is the real deal.

"Stuck Mojo are very underrated and they show that here. This disc should have sold at least 500,000 copies, like many rap-metallers have so far. Heavy as hell metal indeed. This is the heaviest rap metal album ever, by far. If you don't own it, buy it. This is so cool. A cross between Slayer, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine & Kittie, this album is truly for the rap metal kids. Buy it today."

Most realized work to date

"I've never been a big fan of rapcore, that crossbreed of metal and hardcore with rap vocals. In the early 90s I used to be a huge fan of gangster rap, and in comparison to hip hop groups like NWA and Public Enemy, almost all rapcore acts have a stiff, "white" sounding rhyming style that sounds amateurish and embarassing (Zach de la Rocha being probably the sole exception). Stuck Mojo still suffer from this stumbling rhythm problems, but on "Rising" they've finally managed to compensate for their lyrical weakness with some sharp songwriting and even melodic singing. They also overcome the single factor that most often contributes to the mediocrity of rapcore (or even plain ol' hardcore) records, which is an extreme monotony in the rhythm department. And when you're dealing with a genre that dispenses with lead work altogether, that can become a serious problem. Fortunately Stuck Mojo are up to the task, creating their most memorable release yet. Not only has the songwriting improved, but the production has improved considerably since the days of old, even sounding like a full-blown major label release (Century Media obviously thinks so, too- they're promoting this with more muscle than I would have believed they had. Of course, most metal fans have known for years what a hotbed of new talent the label is. Now it's time for the rest of the world to open their ears). I guess I can finally shrug off my indifference and embrace this band for the contender that they've finally become."
