Cypress Hill
Album : Live at the Fillmore
Release Date : December 12, 2000

Label : Sony

 

Customer Review :

Truth be told, since the blunted triumphs of their eponymous debut and 1993’s Black Sunday, Cypress Hill have been in a steady creative tailspin. Tellingly, on this live disc, recorded at the legendary San Francisco venue, it’s the trio’s genuinely entertaining performances of early material such as "Real Estate" and "How I Could Just Kill a Man" that stand out. But the percussive accompaniment and fuzzy guitars the group draft to dress up the rest of their material simply make the proceedings repetitive and tiresome and obscure B-Real’s distinctive whine and Muggs’s production—the group’s two greatest assets. Thankfully, there is a return to their most potent material toward the end, but it doesn’t save this release from being a cursory footnote in their discography. For completists only.
