Editorial Review:
Initially, the sophomore album from California beat-shifters the Crystal Method sounds like the same psychedelic beats and psychotic samples that made their 1997 debut, Vegas, such a riot and established them as the only stateside dance act with real spunk. While Tweekend does apply similar grooves and siren sounds, repeated plays prove that the duo of Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan have learned how to melt the mind in addition to rocking the house. With guest spots by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland, Tweekend is both subversive and dance-friendly. In "Murder," Weiland sings over a woozy blend of crunching riffs, wah-wah guitars, Moog moos, and mysterious strings for a kind of twisted BT-like pop poetry. "PHD," "Wild, Sweet and Cool," and the organ-grinding "Roll It Up" are classic beats-and-bliss Crystal Method. But "Name of the Game" is straight-up rock and rage, while "Ten Miles Back" and "Blowout" are surreal drives into a nocturnal desert. Tweekend is so dense and delirious, it's hard to find your way out. But you may not want to return from this lost (T)weekend. --Ken Micallef
Tweekend Reviews:
great workout CD, especially for runners 
2009-10-22 - If you're a runner and looking for a great, energizing album to listen to, give this one a try. Steady beat (more of less) through the whole thing with a "rhythmic" base makes this a perfect choice, in my opinion. Catchy grooves. Not quite pop, but more pop than most albums in this genre.
unique music 
2009-06-15 - I love this cd every song has a great vibe. I first found out about these guys from the movie Tropic Thunder, from the song Name Of The Game, and I thought that would be my favorite track. to my suprise the entire cd turned out to be ausome.
Fantastic Music
2009-03-02 - I like music that moves me. It either makes me want to dance, or go within to meditate. I do like all kinds of music, especially if it's different. This is.
Tweekend is a good Crystal Method Choice
2008-02-13 - As all other reviews will tell you.. Vegas is clearly the best Crystal Method CD. Tweekend does not top Vegas by any means but is easily my second favorite Method CD. If you are a Crystal Method fan, you should feel no anxiety about purchasing Tweekend. It's different than Vegas but PHD, Wild, Sweet and Cool, You Know its Hard, Ten Miles back and Tough Guy are all solid cuts. As others will state it is a little bass heavy but I like it that way. Tweekend is a nice compliment to any Method fan collection.
'nuff sed
2007-11-17 - here's a thought to consider. i own over a thousand albums and this album ranks in my top 12, at the top of which is Mer De Noms, Volume 1993-2003 & Wisconsin Death...
the grooves are beyond infectious; the mixing masterfully executed; the beats--exactly industrial. this production is thorough and put simply, is the definition of quality.
thanx for the 'ear' >>> PAX
