Mmmm, hot on the trails of the funk fame and bands such as Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Heads Up provided the listener with a hardcore, slap-happy funk strut something akin to chewing bubblegum for too long. Upon first hearing 'Soul Brother...', the album is bearable, a surprise mix of bouncing rap-rock and quirky bass, a few big soul choruses, but without any depth. As predicted at the time, Heads Up kinda went belly-up after a short career but 'Soul Brother...' was slightly better than some of the other crap around like Scatterbrain and Ignorance, but in the end the colours and slap-bass of 'funk metal' became just too vomit-inducing.
6/10
