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".
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]
