Goats - Tricks Of The Shade

Review by Mostafa Ali

Tricks Of The Shade, the debut album from Goats, is a remarkable piece of work that showcases the band's unique blend of hip-hop, jazz, and funk. Released in 1992, the album features a diverse range of tracks that explore themes of social justice, political corruption, and personal struggles.

The album's standout tracks include "Hip Hopola," a jazzy instrumental that features skillful scratching and smooth basslines, and "Do the Digs Dug? (Todd Terry Remix)," a funky track that incorporates elements of house music. "Typical American," a politically charged song that addresses issues of racism and inequality, is another highlight.

The album's production is top-notch, with the band's use of live instrumentation and sampling creating a rich and layered sound. The lyrics are also impressive, with the band's socially conscious message delivered with wit and intelligence.
