MCs Suffa and Pressure still trade witty punch lines, like Suffa's declaration that there's "now no stopping me/I'll finish with a bang like Kurt Cobain's biography," but their storytelling lacks the heft it previously had. Pretty soon it rolls out the funk samples and chipmunk soul that are fixtures of the Australian hip-hop sound and were a large part of The Calling, but what doesn't appear is the lyrical import that made that album's narratives so gripping. The opening track of The Hard Road, "Recapturing the Vibe," makes it plain right there in the title that the Hilltop Hoods are out to repeat the lightning strike of their previous album.
