Dinner And A Movie - Brotha Lynch Hung

I'm throwing out our typical review formula. Fuck it if the big man doesn't post it! You want "The Real" well here it is...

The Real:
I've been a Lynch fan for almost 20 years. I've been a Tech nine fan for over 10. When I heard that Lynch signed with Tech's label Strange Music I already knew what was gonna happen - and I was right! With Dinner And A Movie we finally get everything Lynch is capable of, everything us fans have been waiting for. We get the REAL Lynch; Season of the Sicc Lynch; Loaded Lynch; Suicide Note Lynch; all in one masterfully crafted album. Calling it an album doesn't even do it justice. It's more than an album - it's an experience. You can't just slap this in the deck and skim threw it. No-way. This requires you sit down and focus your undivided attention for the entire 77 minutes and 40 seconds while holding on to the edge of your seat, gritting your teeth, closing your eyes, and trying not to scream. I did... I screamed... out loud..."GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! REALLY??? LYNCH IS A FUCKING GENIUS!!!! There is nobody - NOBODY - that can do what he does. Who else can not only switch styles and topics but their entire persona from track to track and line to line? Who else is still incorporating appearances from the same neighborhood brethren that they were giving shout outs to almost 20 years ago? Who else can write a horror movie in music form and make it flow seamlessly from one song into the next without ever loosing its direction? Who else can call themselves a good provider for his children by putting food on the table via murder and turning his son a cannibal? Only Lynch. I'm not going to ruin all the twists and turns of this experience by critiquing the first and last tracks but i will tell you this - Your cravings for Lynch will be pacified after Dinner And A Movie, but you will not be full; which is a good thing  - theres more to come. This is just the first part of the three course meal that Lynch has planned for us. Dinner And A Movie is the appitizer, Tha Coathanga Strangla will be the main course, and for dessert... Mann-A-Bal Lector.

Need a few of drinks to get you in the mood before you order the appetizer?
