CunninLynguists - A Piece of Strange
CunninLynguists - A Piece of Strange (2006)
1. Where Will You Be? - A nice intro to the album with a cool guitar loop
2. Since When - A grand entrance into the album where Deacon and Natti trade bars 10/10
3. Nothing to Give - Another amazing song, a dark piano beat. Deacon and Natti each drop memorable verses. 10/10
4. Caved In - Deacon takes this one for himself and definitely delivers, Cee-Lo blessing the chorus makes this song even better. 10/10
5. Hourglass - Kno produces an INCREDIBLE beat for this track, I thought the lyrics were good on this track, but could have been a little bit better. 9/10
6. Beautiful Girl - Amazing beat. Natti and Deacon talk about a beautiful girl named Jane (Marijuana). 10/10
7. Inhale (Interlude) - Just a pretty boring interlude.
8. Brain Cell - Great piano beat, talking about the life cycle, and Kno (finally) spits a verse on this track. 9/10
9. America Loves Gangsters - Kno delivers a dark beat, Natti does the first verse, Deacon the second, and Time Means almost talks on the third verse which I didn't really like. 9/10
10. Don't Know Why - Incredible song, amazing piano loop on the beat and Immortal Technique kills it. 10/10
11. The Gates - My favorite song on the track. Tonedeff pretty much makes this his solo track and delivers one of the best performances of his career about a man who is not allowed to enter heaven. 10/10
12. Damnation (Interlude) - Kno shows off his production skills in this entertaining interlude, also a great intro to the next song.
13. Hellfire - An extremely upbeat song. So upbeat that it is almost out of place from the other deeper, slower songs on the album. Nevertheless, the beat is crazy and it matches perfectly with the name of the song. 9/10
14. Remember Me (Abstract Reality) - An amazing beat, but I would have liked it if someone had rapped on it.
15. What'll You Do? - A slow, deep beat and Deacon talks about when he is done rapping. 10/10
16. The Light (Club Dub) - A fantastic beat by Kno, for 5:30 of the song there is only about 30 seconds of rapping, still it is a great song. 10/10
Overall: 10/10
I think this album is easily a classic, best of 2006 by far. I also believe it is easily the best album the CunninLynguists have put out, if you don't have this album or have never heard it then do yourself a favor and give it a spin, you won't be disappointed.
