Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox album Hed PE (stylized as (həd)pe) is the debut album by the American rock band Hed PE. It was released on August 12, 1997, by Jive Records, and has sold over 100,000 copies.

Music

Six of the tracks on this album were re-recorded from the band's debut EP, Church of Realities;[1] The album's musical style is a fusion of punk, hip hop, metal, funk and reggae.[2][3]

Release

The album sold over 100,000 copies.[4] Due to the label's contractual terms and the disappointing sales of the album, the band found themselves unable to repay the cash advances given to them by Jive.

Jared Gomes is quoted as saying "We had these romantic visions of the music industry, and we thought it would be cool to be a punk band on a rap label. So we fulfilled that dream, but it was also probably the worst thing that could have happened. [...] We've had offers from Sony and others that we can't take because we owe Jive so much money."[1]

Reception

Шаблон:Music ratings

In his review of the album, AllMusic's Steve Huey wrote that "There are some slow and/or unfocused moments [...] but overall, its aggression will probably play well with late-'90s metal and punk fans."[3]
