Rocket Science The Pimps

Let’s be honest: Rocket Science is not for everyone. The relentless filth of the production will turn off anyone who likes their guitars to sound crisp. The vocals are often buried in the mix, making Tim Pimp sound like he’s yelling at you from the bottom of a well. Furthermore, the album sags slightly in the middle. Tracks like “Blow (Your Mind, Not Your Cash)” and “Johnny’s Got a New Gun” recycle the same mid-tempo groove a few too many times, blurring together into a haze of distortion and snare hits.

Rocket Science is a difficult album to rate. On a technical level, it’s a disaster. The singing is off-key, the production is murky, and the song structures are held together with duct tape and good intentions. rocket science the pimps
