FiVE-0 is not a gimmick. Neither is it safe to pigeon-hole its sound into any particular genre. The music is expertly crafted, performed and recorded, and is chock-full of tasteful melodies and blitzing rhythms. Its the type of music that appeals to punks, hipsters, rockers and pop fans alike. Underground, yet marketable. Songs like Miranda play as a folksy lament for the loss of citizen rights. Billy Club Love, the CD's fourth track, emits hypnotic oscillating tones with crunchy guitar licks that settle into a head-bobbing groove, while the CD's title track, Tazer Crazy, carries the listener through a high-tempo assault loaded with singer Grody Bludflough's electrifying, satirical endorsement of law enforcements latest torture toy, the Taser.
And if Tazer Crazy is a voyage through the brutal crapulence of the modern police state, then Maj. Bludflough is the anti-hero tour guide. Grody is the embodiment of justice gone awry, a symbolic character representing the arrogant, unconscionable behavior too often exhibited by the so-called men and women of law enforcement. Rounding out this psycho-psychedelic power-trio is bassist James More (aka. Det. McKiddykilla), and percussionist John Beriault (aka. Sgt. SearcHer) who handles all the percussion duties.
Not once throughout the 30-minute, 11 track release, has FiVE-0 neglected its primary mission: crafting great songs that provoke both your brain and your feet.

Five-0 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're on the road, lights out only darkness (darkness)
On the tote, fly out, in my starships (starship)
I know, I missed all these fucking targets (target)
They say loving you we're not made for this market
How the fuck, you left, gave me none, well babe
It's time girl, going out inside my head
You we're my love, I had you all up in my bed
You got me ecstatic, can't hit your phone (yeah)
Got different texts, brakence
You just wanna bone (yeah)
Can't give you no when you so average
But nothing you ever did meant shit to me (end of me)
But, we don't get along much
You don't hit my phone, love
You don't do that shit no more
And I hate to say I knew you
Face the blood I go to Pluto
Pretty soon I'll have the big news
Then I'll finally lose you
We're on the road, lights out only darkness (darkness)
On the tote, fly out, in my starships (starship)
I know, I missed all these fucking targets (target)
They say loving you we're not made for this market
I'll put my phone on DND
And that's because I don't want nobody else calling me
I can't fucking breathe, why you always lie to me
I- I don't feel free, bitch you got it growing on me
All these people make me feel like I'm an outcast
Telling me to do all of these things but I can't be that
You knew that I'm not mad
I know your not all that
Why do you think that it wouldn't ever fucking last?
We're on the road, lights out only darkness (darkness)
On the tote, fly out, in my starships (starship)
I know, I missed all these fucking targets (target)
They say loving you we're not made for this market
The lyrics of Five-0's song "Market" convey a sense of frustration and heartbreak in a romantic relationship. The opening lines ("We're on the road, lights out only darkness") suggest a feeling of being lost and uncertain, with the darkness representing the absence of guidance or clarity. The reference to being "on the tote, fly out, in my starships" seems to indicate a desire to escape or find solace in a different place or state of mind.
The singer expresses disappointment in themselves for missing certain targets in the relationship, possibly referring to expectations or goals they had set. This failure leads to the realization that their love might not be suitable for this particular "market," meaning their love connection is not meant to thrive or succeed in their current circumstances.
The lyrics also indicate a sense of betrayal and longing for the person they were once in love with. The line "You we're my love, I had you all up in my bed" suggests intimacy and a deep emotional connection. The singer acknowledges their promise to themselves to stay strong and not fall apart, but it becomes evident that the other person has moved on, leaving them feeling abandoned and hurt.
There is a shift in the lyrics towards self-empowerment and a desire for freedom. The singer mentions putting their phone on "DND" (do not disturb) to detach themselves from any potential distractions or other potential love interests. However, the underlying pain and confusion are still present, with the line "I can't fucking breathe, why you always lie to me" expressing a sense of suffocation and a constant feeling of being deceived.
Overall, "Market" showcases the emotional rollercoaster of a failed relationship, with the singer grappling with feelings of loss, disappointment, and the growing realization that their love was not meant to flourish in the current circumstances. It portrays the complexity of human emotions and the struggles of navigating love in an unpredictable world.

It's time girl, going out inside my head
I am beginning to lose control of my thoughts and emotions, my girl
You we're my love, I had you all up in my bed
You were my everything, intimate and close to me in my bed

You just wanna bone (yeah)
You are only interested in having casual sexual encounters
Can't give you no when you so average
I can't deny you anything when you are just ordinary
But nothing you ever did meant shit to me (end of me)
Everything you did had no significance or impact on me anymore, it ended our connection
But, we don't get along much
We do not have a harmonious relationship
You don't hit my phone, love
You no longer communicate with me through calls or messages, my love
You don't do that shit no more
You have stopped engaging in those actions or behaviors
And I hate to say I knew you
I regretfully admit that I understood your true nature
Face the blood I go to Pluto
I confront the intense emotions and pain as I distance myself from reality
Pretty soon I'll have the big news
In the near future, I will have significant information or developments
Then I'll finally lose you
Subsequently, I will ultimately let go of you
I'll put my phone on DND
I will activate the 'Do Not Disturb' mode on my phone
And that's because I don't want nobody else calling me
I do not wish to receive calls or messages from anyone else
I can't fucking breathe, why you always lie to me
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed, questioning why you repeatedly deceive me
I- I don't feel free, bitch you got it growing on me
I don't experience freedom anymore, as your negative influence is ingrained in me
All these people make me feel like I'm an outcast
The opinions and actions of others cause me to feel excluded or alienated
Telling me to do all of these things but I can't be that
They urge me to conform and change, but I am unable to become what they want
You knew that I'm not mad
You were aware that I am not crazy or insane
I know your not all that
I understand that you are not as great or exceptional as you claim to be
Why do you think that it wouldn't ever fucking last?
What leads you to believe that our relationship would never endure?
They say loving you we're not made for this market
People claim that our love and relationship are ill-suited for the current circumstances
