High Definition is an album by the Bronx rap rock group Shootyz Groove, released in 1999.[4][5] It contains the songs "L Train" and "Blow Your Top".
Critical reception[edit]
The Telegram & Gazette wrote that the band "offers a more mature batch of songs on its latest effort without sacrificing any of its high energy attack or its positive attitude along the way."[6] Tulsa World praised the "left-field cover of XTC's "Dear God" that telescopes Andy Partridge's original vision of self-determination into a full-fledged, freestyling sermon."[7]
AllMusic wrote that "it's a guitar jamboree: 'L Train' glides along crisp reggae tracks, while 'You Have All Been Warned' and 'Put Down The Mics' (whose message seems long overdue) boil over with furious fuzz-tones."[2]
