This is an album I had to listen to a couple of times to really be able to write an honest opinion about. What stood in front of me as some kind of barrier is the term "rock-rap". Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. The genre which only Rage Against the Machine did really good. And after a first listen to this album all I could hear was the quite boring guitar riffs and nothing much more that stood out. But after a while I began to listen more and more to the lyricist and found someone with quite a bit of talent. We're talking about Creature, who some people might have heard on the Vaudeville Villain-album by Viktor Vaughn a.k.a. MF Doom or on his self-released album Never Say Die where he is guested by amongst others Slug and Busdriver. And it is Creature that makes Prey for the Vulture a listenable album. He's got a nice flow, good lyrics and a presence that shines regardless if he raps or sings. This is probably not an album for everyone, but if you like stuff like Bad Brains this album by Rebelmatic might just go down smoothly.
Rating: 3/5
