I promise not to review too much of this atrocious funk metal shite. But this stuff gave '90s metal a bad name. Sure, bands were trying to move away from Satan's neighbourhood, but why experiment with someone that seemed so awkward and unnatural ? The funk and soul should have been left to the experts - Bad Brains, Fishbone et al, not these goofy idiots with their multi-coloured album covers. As if the promo video for the title cut was annoying enough - the band dressed up as jerks, pulling faces, and rattling out stupid raps - Scat Opera somehow managed to get a support slot on the 1991 Mordred tour! 'About Time' is shockingly bad, but it's one of these albums, and scenes I guess, that had to be heard just to appreciate just how vomit-inducing it all was. Time and time again, it's a sound bereft of weight, splattered with nonsense, wrapped in slap bass, and shit out like one long bubblegum turd. Songs ? Who cares. Even Primus for all their bass-heavy genius, became slightly tiresome, but this kind of stuff didn't even get to the first hurdle before it suddenly transformed into some rubbery cartoon character with 'FALSE' stamped on its head and thrown into the reject bin.
3/10
