Album Of The Day: Business Up Front/Party In The Back by Family Force 5

Album Art of Family Force 5's Business Up Front/Party In The Back album - A collage of artwork, with the band name in huge white letters in the middle, a but of the lightning bolts and angles of a metal band in the lettering and the black border. To the left of the band name, it has the album title in a small yellow banners. Behind the band name is lots of speakers, other electronic music equipment, and photos of the 5 band members pasted on top of other things. Behind the speakers at the top are skyscrapers, and below on the bottom is the blurry lights of cars on a freeway.

Released 20 years ago today, this is the debut album from the band that called themselves "crunk rock", Family Force 5. This album is a fusion of rap, rock and dance music with southern American, red-neck vibes, and the band seems to be a party-loving band, though a few songs have a Christian message to them. It's a whirlwind of spoken word and screamed lyrics about partying and love over walls of guitars and electronica. Family Force 5 is not my favorite band by any means, but I do on occasion like their in-your-face, pump-me-up sounds. They were doing something pretty unique musically, and plus it was very catchy. It is probably still their best album to date, though I honestly didn't listen to their last few albums before the band disbanded in 2018. The band announced they will play a reunion show this summer on a date of the Vans Warped Tour.
