Album Review: Shock City Maverick by Beans
Fairly Good, Based on 1 Critic
AllMusic - 60

Riding another set of his own crisp, gleaming, jagged-edged productions, Beans follows his LP and EP releases from 2003 with Shock City Maverick. Nothing scrambles the brain like Tomorrow Right Now's "Hot Venom," and no track has lyrics that hit as hard as Now, Soon, Someday's "Win or Lose You Lose," but the album maintains a consistency that neither of those releases can claim. His flow remains unique, and he has the odd contradictions to match.
