The best album ever?

"A War Story is just about my favourite cd and is criminally underrated. This should be seen as a classic rap album and should be owned by everyone who wants some thoughtful intelligent hip hop, not just some s**t about money, guns, cars and girls. The lyrics and delvery are original and stylish giving a different angle on life and the problems in their neighbourhood (LA). Now to the production which is in my opinion the best ever! Every track has obviously had alot of work put into it without sounding overdone and evey track is individual and simply great music - moving through streets must be one of the best and most original hip hop tracks ever created. I also think this album is better without B-Real all over it like on the first album and gives Duke and Jacken more time to shine. What happened to Big Duke is absolutely tragic destroying one of the best groups in music today just as they were beginning to develop their incredible distinctive style. The development between this and their first album (also excellent) is obvious and I think they would have gone on to produce more innovative music but now we'll never know. I would urge everyone -hip hop fan or not to give the Psychos a try and spread the word."

The Best Hip-hop group I've ever heard

"Psycho Realm are masters not only of hip-hop but also music generaly. Their beats are originaly arranged and not so "easy" like other hip-hop artists. Feel the best underground rap with The Psycho Realm. If you're person who like something special, just buy it. Albums The Psycho Realm (the previous) and War Story contain the best lyrics I've ever heard. Their music will survive."

A Masterpiece

"This album is not only a great hip-hop album, it is a great piece of music. From the beginning to the end the album flows as one story. Jacken and Duke cast their nets far in trying to capture not only the problems and situations of L.A. life (in particular the Pico Union District) but they also make parallels with world problems. Terrorism, government conspiracay, technological growth, cultural displacement and climate change are some things they allude to. It is a rich album that is complex in its approach to it subject and also with the music. The beats are the colorful and confusing backdrop to the album. It is just too good."
