Hard to Swallow

Vanilla Ice

A jarring pivot into aggressive nu-metal. Ross Robinson's raw production replaces pop-rap polish with downtuned guitars, live drums, and visceral screaming.

October 20, 1998 · Republic Records

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the familiar Ice Ice Baby hook into a wall of distorted guitars on Too Cold.
The raw, unhinged vocal delivery on Prozac that abandons pop polish for visceral screaming.
The heavy, sludge-influenced bass line that anchors the opening of Scars.
