Already a thread somewhere.

Dope album anyway, I prefer ''Whats Wrong With Bill'' though.

[Ganja Farmer]

Just noticed nobody posted a review for this yet.

Now this shits bangin dont get me wrong,but sadly its no "What's wrong with Bill".
Bill seems to have reinvented himself with this album and is going in a diffrent direction lyrically.He matured from all the Necro/gore shit which is great and his lyrics really do leave you thinking.

The whole album is easily replayable and only one or two tracks are skipable...

I think his attempt to intertwine metal and rap on some songs he does is wack.
For instance "War is my destiny" completely blew me away when it started.I mean the beat/lyrics are just intense....But then when i heard the chorus it just didnt flow for me...

Sick tunes:
"My Uncle"
"Society is brainwashed"(lyrically insane and has a great Premier beat.)
"Riva"
"Too young"
"Ima goon"

What do you think?"What's wrong with bill" was a complete classic 10/10 and this album is slightly lacking BUT it's still a bangin 8/10.

I searched the album review sub forum and theres no thread for this...? :S
Sorry if there is anyway

[lynskey]

oh shit my bad.

thought I saw it in the review archive but it was 'Whats Wrong With Bill'.

[Rollo]

I'm not going to write a long editorial on it, it was good, not great, not amazing, not special.

Very few quotables, a lot of forgettable verses and an overload of either guitar or screaming on some tracks.

As far as favorite tracks go, I liked too young, I'd like to say I liked trust nobody, but the rapping wasn't that good, pain gang was good but played, a bullet never lies was decent, My Uncle wasn't bad, I liked Ima Goon, I would have liked Babylon if you took out the rapping and just had the ladies singing at the beginning and the hook.


I don't care for his rapping. He sounds like he's yelling and because of that there's no emotion and it sounds like he's just reciting lines with no heart to them.
Rapping isn't yelling. His flow is sometimes uneven and forced sounding as well.

[DirtMcgehrk]

He tries to fit too many words into each line, and it gets compressed in this weird way because he's trying to finish up before the loop ends and starts up again. Lyrically it's ok, but the flow definitely sounds forced and out of sync.

Fucking sick album. Best ill bill has ever put out.

[ingenting]

Way better than the first album. His flow is pretty good - not the most nimble rapper, but he gets the job done and occasionally KILLS IT.

[angry!]

not the most nimble rapper?!? homie did you hear the primo track??!? you think that was a by the numbers flow!?!?!?!

this is one of the best albums of last year. loaded with content, hot beats, and a lot of different flavors. brings you up, drops you down, brings you back up, you know, an album. his delivery on this joint is a little more straight forward than its been in the past but the content has never been this fleshed out. this album will get more shine as time goes on.

go bump the future is now if you dont think bill is a "nimble" emcee. homie got one of the illest delievery's of any white emcee ever.

[soul controller]

Fucking sick album. Best ill bill has ever put out.

not includeing his supergroup efforts

[Reiko]

It's a good album, there are some dope tracks like My Uncle, War Is My Destiny with Immortal Technique or Society Is Brainwashed. I enjoyed it but it's not some kind of a bomb.
