Gym Class Heroes, the band best known for their ability to combine hip-hop and alternative, recently released their fourth major album, “The Quilt.”

British singer Estelle, notable for her duet with Kanye West on “American Boy,” lends her vocals on “Guilty As Charged,” the first track on the album. The song has a good beat, yet no real substance. As ineffective as the lyrics are, the song is likeable enough to be stuck in your head all day long.

“Peace Sign/Index Down” is the closest singer Travis McCoy gets to providing listeners with the same harsh, self-motivated lyrics that filled their previous LP, “As Cruel As School Children.”

The way that he continually bashes everyone who keeps “putting him down,” and his description of how rough his childhood was sounds faintly like a bad Eminem song. “Peace Sign/Index Down” featured Busta Rhymes and was one of two singles off the album.

The seventh track on the album is The Dream supported track titled “Cookie Jar.” The lyrics are amusing because they’re bizarre, like “My girl be setting booby traps to catch me eating Scooby snacks.” Corny lyrics considered, this track is by far one of the best you’ll encounter on the entire album, as the song is well beyond catchy.

Songs like “Blinded By the Sun” and “Live a Little” sound completely different than the music fans have gotten used to. “Blinded By the Sun” offers more of a reggae beat and includes Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump as a backup singer. “Live a Little” is a whole new sound. The song is the standard alternative tune, which was well done, but different nonetheless.

Gym Class Heroes have once again proved they are able to provide music worth listening to. The songs show the band has evolved, as they are able to provide listeners with different kinds of music but they also preserve their original taste which gained them fans in the first place.

“The Quilt” is definitely worth listening to for any Gym Class Heroes fan that wants to hear the same old music with a new twist.
