Listeners looking for something easy to categorize will find GRAFFITI THE WORLD confounding, but everyone else is in for a treat. Rehab heroically attempt to mix greasy Southern rock, hip hop, reggae, and whatever else catches their fancy. Far from being chaotic, this approach results in colorful tracks such as the bluesy, acoustic rap of "Lawn Chair High," funky hard rock of "Chest Pain," or dusty dirty South ballads such as "Red Water" and "Bartender Song." GRAFFITI THE WORLD is the musical equivalent of a weekend tour of the ethnically diverse, teeming Atlanta metropolis. minimize
