Drawing from widely varying sources, Eric however draws with a brighter and more mature coherence than before. Still mostly produced by a third of the crew – Erick The Architect (Erick Arc Elliott) −, their musical world is often dark and imposing. This redeeming brevity is striking, particularly on the percussive Big Shrimp, the crisp Chunky and surprising Crown, in collaboration with the band Portugal The Man. However this time, their skills take on less scabrous paths, getting more willingly straight to the point. All huge Jimi Hendrix fans (as seen on the cover art reference), the three rappers continue to build bridges between sometimes drastically opposed styles, while maintaining their flair for provocation and eccentricity. For this second album, Vacation in Hell, the Flatbush Zombies have polished their formula by making their psychedelia more accessible and orchestrated.

This record − a cosmic and hallucinogenic experience − perfectly sums up the findings and ranting of the three companions, with cinematographic sketches, the resurgence of cloud rap, and iconic 90s memories.
