The Hard Road is certainly worthy of it's place as a successor, but unfortunately I don't think it reaches the level's that it's predecessor did. Why? because it's the obvious benchmark when it comes to Australian Hip Hop releases. Most of which are mentioned in the albums lyrical content, but don't honestly think they've been through anything too serious.įor the remainder of this review, I will probably refer to The Calling a lot.
Now, you might ask how Hilltop Hoods have managed to justify the albums name? How many "Hard Road's" could a group with a Gold CD to their name have had to walk? Well, at present, not many, but prior to their commercial success they did have a few troubles. This album has to power to either capitalize on their previous releases success, making Aussie Hip Hop a force modern music, or it could prove it to be somewhat of a fad. After the success of Hilltop's 4th album, The Calling, The Hard Road is probably the most important album to be released by an Australian Hip Hop group.
