Like the Gladiators during the Roman Empire, Machine Gun Kelly burst onto the music scene with a lifetime's worth of determination, engaging sense of theater, passion for all forms of art and strength in 2004. His first official album entitled Lace Up debuted at #2 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and MTV awarded MGK its Breaking Woodie Award for 2012. It is his strength that appeals to the young legion of fans as showcased by his chosen beats, awakening musical rhythms and creatively crafted lyrics. It is his daring nature and perseverance which will draw in the older audiences as 2015 promises to give a peak into MGK's World. Incorporating his experiences, traveling and interest in world affairs and the state of humanity across the oceans, he has created the perfect anthem for today's societal issues with the single "A Little More" from his sophomore album General Admission. Vocalizing his views on everything from political wars to teen bullying while staying true to his constant thematic scheme, this album will be a true milestone moment for his career. --- It's a clever joke naming your autobiographical album General Admission, and thank the stars that Cleveland MC Machine Gun Kelly is that clever. Life on the bad streets of his hometown sounds depressing and dour according to the stories here, so framing it all as a cruel joke is necessary, and breaking these downers up with a Kid Rock anthem couldn't hurt. Not when that Detroit-meets-Cleveland rap-rock cut is the worthy "Bad Mother F*cker," a simple yet aptly titled baller where Kelly gives up "I'm the type to drop a hit of acid on the beach/And then fly to Baltimore and scream 'F*ck the police!'" as if that would help matters. General Admission sometimes seems dipped in this acid and stoned on shrooms as the haunting "Alpha Omega" free associates spiritual stuff like it was a Bizzy Bone cut, while the great Cleveland booster "Til I Die" and the nearly as good "World Series" are trap anthems that could be melting as they slowly trudge out of the speakers. Add to this the relationship apocalypse called "Story of the Stairs," and the doomed number dubbed "Eddie Cane" ("...only Five Heartbeats left"), and the album is a no-fun effort with little hope, with a bit of Kid Rock-driven debauchery to keep listeners off the ledge. That doesn't mean Kelly holds back on the mischief, the jokes, or the wry rhymes, and when he holds Kurt Cobain up as an inspiration during "A Little More," it makes sense. General Admission can be corrosive and coarse like Nirvana's In Utero, but while it lacks that album's artistic weight, it's proud to be unattractive which, oddly enough, becomes this druggy downer's allure. ~ David Jeffries, AllMusic Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
