Nick is nick

Review Score: (8/10)
Nick is no holds barred in your face with whatever the diatribal story he wants to throw down.

Having said that, I like his work very much. My issue with Nick is that he never leaves a pie in sky/pastoral/dirty context and becomes something else. I mean it's either over the top or under the bottom.

The mood issue with Nick fuels his ability. He is certainly incredible, and worth it. Will he ever change enough to put out something that changes the world, not just himself and malcontents? Time will tell... This greatest hits shows where he has been for a time.
