High Definition, Shootyz Groove's 1999 album, came after the Bronx rap rock crew had worked their way through deals with Mercury and Roadrunner and landed at Reprise, where David Kahne produced it. MCs Season Love and Sense Live trade rhymes up front, Dose drums and Paul "Freak Love" holds down the bass, and the result is a riff party with a conscience: plenty of punch, and a sunny, positive streak underneath.
"L Train" rolls along on a crisp reggae lope, while "You Have All Been Warned" and "Put Down the Mics" boil over with fuzzed-out guitar. The wild card is a cover of XTC's "Dear God", which the band turn into a freestyling sermon, and critics noticed that the songs had grown up without losing any of the band's high-energy attack.
