"To any one who hasn't heard this album, or Awol's style at that: Listen to the soundclips of 2.'Rhythm' and 4.'Agony', if that doesn't show you the versatility of this release then go buy yer choice of the mainstream, post-Dre-dribble.
I am only writing this review to put some balance on the scales, cuz homey below (circumcised??)can't see true talent when its smackin em jawbone ta crackles!!! Not to mention the rumbling bass-lines and breaks Daddy Kev provides ALWAYS!!!! I'd buy this for the music alone, Awol's a hefty bonus.....
Matter o'fact--AWOL IS AN ILL MC WHO HAS A VISION BEYOND SOUNDING "TIGHT". To quote him: "Here I go again/Voicing opinions/Thunder isn't this loud/..I told em the world was ending/But they didn't believe me/I told em to trust me/And they tried to deceive me/Its gotta be greed."
And I think the underlying fact is that Awol COULD rap really fast and jumbled on every track(Kev IS a Jungle/Hiphop DJ)but I think Awol wants to make himself clear--> he wants you to know the words to his stuff, so you can sing it to yer buddies, he's trying to cure ya "Ignorance". He even admits he's "borderline genius/or a madman/I'm def,dumb and blind/but I do what I can." Abstract MCs can teach you a lot if you just relax, feel what they do, and don't expect every WHITE MC to be Eminem, White Dawg, Bubba Sparxx, and all them other FACTORY SPIN-OFFS!!!!!!! Clean out them Ears,Botty-bwoy!!!"

"His music isn't composed of a bunch of generic rap songs. He manages to mix 80s style rhymes with 90s style retro-beat to form music like no other. Highly recommend. Just don't expect wangsta rap here."
