Editorial Reviews
Poc, Moc, and Chip Fu of Fu-Schnickens are three young Brooklyn men who spent their childhood watching way too much television. Their raps riff on karate flicks, monster movies, Batman, Bugs Bunny, sitcoms, and cereal commercials--in other words, they spout the common mythology of Americans 29 and under. For those in that demographic, Fu's raps clear a trail into the dark recesses of memory lane. For those who don't get it, though, the trio's second album, Nervous Breakdown, is much more than a catalog of the collective Gen-X unconscious. On the record we hear three distinct personalities, all lightning-paced rappers with tremendous control of their voices. First comes Poc, the smooth and graceful one; last is Moc, a hard and solid rhymer. And with the mad flow in between is Chip, who percolates and wheezes like a highly caffeinated coffeepot, hiccups and coughs like a drunk with a chest cold, and all the while busts lyrics as furiously nonstop and involuntarily as a sprinter gasping for breath. He's an original, hear-it-to-believe-it rapper, and never anything less than hilarious fun. Nervous Breakdown, running less than 44 minutes and with only nine new tunes (plus a remix of "What's Up Doc?" featuring Shaquille O'Neal), is an unfortunately slim workout. It is, though, a potent taste of how hip-hop continues to stretch when rappers flex bigger muscles. --Roni Sarig

A total knockout........2006-01-27
The vocals are simply bliss. I've never been much of a fan of male and female trading vocals but if anyone can pull of it superbly it's these guys. The realy stand out thing about this album that drew my attention straight away was the keyboards. Unlike bands like Reggie and The Full Effect that use synth keys, these are a lot more prominent and her finger work is very technical without sacrificing quality.
When you have all these elements tied together, what do you get? A stunner. A real stunner that'll be in my spinner for a long, long time. And it should be in yours too.

I'm gonna go bezerk.......2006-10-30
Anyway, back on topic. On the forefront of the late 70's punk scene was Black Flag, and with this EP, the saga began. Black Flag has had four singers in their career, but nobody does it better then Keith Morris. Even though he is only known for these four songs with Flag (he also did nine demos that can be seen on the "Everything Went Black" compilation album), he couldn't have been any better. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols is an obvious influence on Morris, except Keith sings and yells better, in my opinion. Morris did great things with The Circle Jerks as well after he left Black Flag. Guitarist Greg Ginn is a legend of his genre, and even though his playing is very simple (composing of simple power and three-note chords), it is catchy as **** and is genius in it's own way. Ginn's signature guitar tone of distortion and heavy feedback is introduced here, and with this heavy amount of it made the MCD that much better. The bassist and drummers provide a solid rhythm core. The drumming is very good, and remains interesting throughout the five minutes this EP is. The bass playing, while mostly matching the guitars, provides a nice bottom section of the music. The tone is also very good. Lyrically, this album is also stunning. The lyrics are very easy to relate to, and they remain some of the best in punk.
The EP begins with the title track, "Nervous Breakdown". It is the longest song on the album, clocking in at a little over two minutes. Beginning with a nice, catchy riff, Keith Morris enters with his classic line, singing "I'm about to have a nervous breakdown / my head really hurts". As the song progresses, you could hear Keith Morris getting angrier and angrier, and by the end, he is almost mimicking the Johnny Rotten yell. By the end, he is screaming "crazy!" at the end, then starts an almost incomprehensible bark of "I don't care what ya f***in' do". By the end of the song, you just want to break something. The song is full of rage, and remains one of my favorite punk songs all time. The second song, "Fix Me", uses the same formulae of the first song, with very good lyrics. The song, only being 0:55, still has the very catchy chorus that makes it memorable. "I've Had It" is the second best song on the EP, with incredible riffing from Ginn's feedback guitar and a lot of rage spewing from Morris' mouth. The final song, "Wasted", is a song that only Keith Morris can do. Without him, this song may have not even been capable of making the record. It has funny lyrics, but you feel cut off when it ends after 0:51.
When this record is done, you are almost forced to play it again. I have had this for a long time, and it never gets stale. I personally am a completist when I love a band, but if you are looking for this, get the "The First Four Years" compilation, a collection of everything Flag pre-Henry Rollins, plus a lot more extras. The band would go through some lineup changes before the band released their "Jealous Again" EP, most notably one-time vocalist Chavo Pederast coming in after Morris left. How important is the release of this? Besides revolutionizing the Los Angeles hardcore-punk scene, it provided a formula for years to come that people, mostly failing, would try to repeat. Before Henry Rollins came in and Greg Ginn decided to fuse punk and metal (not to our disdain...it was still great), there was the Keith Morris era-Flag, which was all about the straight attitude and rage that graced us with some of the best stuff ever created. A landmark in the history of music, and definately not to be skipped over if you are a fan of not only punk, but music in general.
Back when punk was cool.......2006-04-04
Nervous Breakdown is slightly over two minutes and is the longest song on here. A very chilling song this is. Starts off with some nice punk riffs and then Keith comes in "I'm about to have a nervous breakdown/ My head really hurts" This song is quite a wild ride! Keith's voice gets pretty crazy near the end, and it all finishes with a cry of "I just wanna...DIIIIIIE" What a finish! Fix Me is under a minute long, but it still rocks. Keith simply roars on this song and Greg's riffs are just mean.
I've Had It has another nice riff at the start. Keith really sounds pissed on this one. You gotta love it when he goes "I'm going to explode, I'VE HAD IT!" Great song to play when you need to vent some anger. Wasted is another quick song. It's simple and to the point, just like punk should be.
Don't be afraid, this is not some whiny teenybopper pop punk. This is true punk music, and if your idea of punk is Good Charlotte (they suck by the way, but you already knew that) then get this and find out what punk is really about! If you don't, then you are simply cheating yourself.
Keith Morris was Black Flag.............2005-12-08
Great lyrics on all the tracks..And after the quick spotting on Wasted the final lyric I was Wasted just puts a smile on ya...So, pick this up or pick up the first four years which has these classic tracks plus Henry's Damaged and Six Pack which are classics too just a diffrent style of black flag...
Kick ass punk rock.......2005-08-11

Fu Schnickens second album.......2006-01-19
Now the Fu-Schnickens sophomroe album "Nervous Breakdown" proves to me that rap was at a fun age back in the early 90's, when people just rapped about anything. (Anything meaning what you do in life, where you hang out, etc. I don't mean cars and money, you get the point...) The first song "Breakdown" starts it of as a rhymathic flow, that any listener can just move along to. Kind of reminds me of a time when I was a kid watching "Wheel Of Fortune" when Moc Fu makes the reference to Vanna White, "...and on more screens than Vanna White..." Chip Fu is an extremely fast type of rapper that somewhat reminds me of Twista (keep in mind this is the frist time I've heard this CD, so their style is new to me), but it amazes me when he immitates characters from cartoons on songs like "Sum Da Monkey" and "Sneakin Up On Ya". It may sound kind of stupid if you didn't spend hours everyday watching TV. His brother Poc Fu comes at you with a deep and somewhat scratchy voice, that proves to be useful on songs like "Visons 20/20" (even tough Chip stole the show on this one)and "Breakdown". Another great song that worked out was "Hi-Lo" which experements with a xylophone beat, with the trio talks about their expreiences with a few girls. 2 remix songs appear on this, "Whats Up Doc [Funkadelic Remix] which features basketball star Shaquelle O'neal (some of you all forget he actuly made a few CD's), and the other, Breakdown [remix] which is not as good as the first but still nice in a way.
Overall, a nice album by this trio, and will bring back memories of the days you watched televison when you were a child. Unfortunately, this album came out at a bad time, when music was changing, and rapping about cartoons just was getting kind of old to some people. It's not that this album was bad, it was that listeners were just moving on to other albums that gained more attention. But I recommend this to anyone who is able to find this album.
DOPE.......2004-11-25
For starters the new songs are great. The dancehall reggae like "Original Rudeboy" being the best.We also have "Voice of The Ghetto" produced by the genius Salaam Remi."Bring it back" which is a great album closer.
In addition you have "Cray-Z" which is from a soundtrack and doesn't appear on any albums.Which is definately one the Schnicks best tracks.
You have the single version of the hit "What's up Doc" featuring B ball star Shaquille O'Neal.Which is better than the remix that appeared on the "Nervous Breakdown" LP. The song is produced by K-cut of Maestro Fresh Wes and Main Source fame.
These 5 non album cuts make this worth a purchase even if you have the first 2 Lps.Speaking of those albums though,both are well presented."Fu Don't Take it Personal" is showcased
With Highlights like "True Fuschnick" "Ring The Alarm","Heavenly Father" and "La Schmoove" demonstrating that it was definatly a solid release, I wish they would have included "Movie Scene" for Moc Fu's hilarious backwards rapping,but it's no big loss as anyone impressed with this collection will seek out the albums anyways.
The shorter,and slightly worse follow up "Nervous Breakdown" shows up here alot too."Breakdown" is by far it's best song,"Sum Dumb Munky" is a solid offering BUT VISIONZ 20/20 is totally wack and should not be on this compilation.
But one rotten apple doesn't spoil the rest of the barrel here and this remains an essential purchase for anyone interested in early to mid 90's hiphop.

In January 2004, five musicians from the Salt Lake City took notice of some disturbing trends in punk music and decided to make a change. Discontent with the ever-popular sounds of screamo, indie rock & hardcore, these musicians came together to form an intense new band known as Fail to Follow - an attempt to change the current trend of popular music and re-ignite the flames of those who stood for something more than MTV and bubblegum pop.
