West London house duo Audio Bullys have taken a new direction with Generation - an album that puts their debut effort, Ego War, in the shade.
Generation is more structured and sees the boys continue with their urban-influenced dance music. The album's upbeat dance tracks are a mix of hip-hop and dance, injected with samples from various genres.
Hit single Shot You Down plays up its monotone sound and samples Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down). Another highlight of the 14-track album is groove track Eq-ing.
Aside from heavy party beats, Generation offers introspective songs such as Made Like That (featuring Roots Manuva) and laid-back tunes Get Myself On Track, I'm In Love and Struck By Sound.
Audio Bullys have moved beyond the aim to make a CD that keeps people dancing. They provide a greater variety of styles and sounds - a change that has paid off handsomely.
