JVC Force's second and final album doesn't improve much on
Doin' Damage, though there are a couple moments where the trio comes up with material that ranks close to -- but doesn't quite surpass -- their breakthrough "Strong Island" single from two years prior. "It's a Force Thing" was one of the better hip-house tracks released that year, and the imaginative sampling on "Trivial Pursuit" makes for another impressive cut. The biggest problem with the album is that
JVC Force aren't talented enough MCs to sustain 18 tracks that play out at over an hour. They definitely should receive some credit for sampling
Buffalo Springfield's "Stop" years before
Public Enemy; ironically, the group also samples
Isaac Hayes' "Hyperbolic" -- the backbone of
PE's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos," which was released a couple years before this.
