How the Music Critic Score works
Origin stories are paramount to success in hip-hop (i. e. , time on the corner, being shot, etc.
New Orleans brothers Kintrell ”Krispy Kream” and Alvin ”Rah Amillio” Lindsey live up to the Internet hype generated by their breakout single, ”Cappuccino.” Remind Me in 3 Days is fun and nostalgic, blending old-school beats, electronica, and hard rock into head-nodding anthems reminiscent of OutKast’s Stankonia. Best of all are Krispy and Rah’s singsongy rhyme styles, which make jittery tracks like ”The Train” somehow sound calm. B Download This: Listen to songs from Remind Me in 3 Days on the band’s MySpace .
Some records can immediately draw a listener in with the lushness of the sound. The Knux’s Remind Me in 3 Days… is one of those records. As soon as the play button is hit, it will seem as if your stereo itself has gotten a makeover. What ensues is the aural equivalent of a glass of champagne being poured over and over again.
