Album Description
Available in:
Elephants on Acid is the ninth studio album by American hip hop group Cypress Hill, and is the group's first studio album in eight years following Rise Up making it the group's longest gap between albums. The album was released on September 28, 2018. The album includes 21 tracks. Unlike Rise Up, group’s last album which was produced by a number of people, this album is fully produced by Muggs, just like the classic first albums Cypress Hill and Black Sunday.
The Independent said about the album, "On their first album in eight years, Cypress Hill still sound like no one else."
Allmusic reviewer Fred Thomas said that Thirty years into any music career, the pressure is generally off. Cypress Hill, active since 1988 and best known for their weed-friendly gangsta rap hits from the '90s, could easily rewrite and revisit the ideas that made them famous for the rest of their days and fans would delight in the familiarity.
User Album Review
On their first album in eight years, Cypress Hill still sound like no one else.
The hip hop pioneers have put DJ Muggs back in the producer’s seat on a record that was born from a dream where Muggs was a man with the head of an elephant. From there, he set out making beats to take the listener on a journey around the world, and into their own mind.
Elephants on Acid is a 21-track monster, loaded with twists and turns that take you as far as Egypt, where Muggs recorded much of “Band of Gypsies” – teaming up with artists on oud, sitar, keyboard and guitar, as well as some of its street musicians. Its lead hook harks back to the glitchy shrieks of “How I Could Just Kill a Man” from their eponymous 1991 debut.
Chic, It’s About Time review: Fails to freshen the formula
There are plenty of brilliant skits: “LSD” stars an elephant’s insistent trumpeting and a soft, dignified piano hook circa Goodie Mob, 1995, while “Holy Mountain” features a sitar, strange chimes and crackles of vinyl. The psychedelic “Reefer Man” appears to sample the vocals of June Kuramoto from American-Japanese jazz fusion band Hiroshima.
There’s still that element of menace that takes them back to the hood. “Pass the Knife” is a classic warning while “Locos” – thriving off the fluid interaction between B-Real’s nasal delivery and Sen Dog’s grittier bark – documents a raid on someone else’s territory: “Don’t even think about the strap up in your backpack/Cooperating when I leave you’re still alive, in fact/ I only want your cash crop, not your life jack’,” B-Real spits. “Warlord” recalls the theatrical, spooky sounds that dominated 1995’s Temples of Boom.
Cypress Hill are the hippies of the hip hop world, making music surrounded by a green-tinged haze that takes more cues from classic Sixties and Seventies rock than anywhere else. Elephants on Acid is one hell of a trip.
