"Now I am gonna explain why this album is rad. Now first off I bought 2000 fold the day it came out and I am a huge SOB fan. I love the feel of this new album, its fresh and stylish. I like that they just didnt do the same old stuff. Now all of you who think its a gangster attitude are wrong. Its not gangster, its angry, dont confuse gangster with angry. Gangsters talk about pimpin their hoes and drivin their cars, but SOB never talks about that stuff. The angry lyrics go with the guitar riffs and raw feel of this album. It feels a lot like Jedi Mind Tricks, who are far from gangster but have heavy angry raps. All yall who think they sold out need to go listen again and get your head straight about whats hip-hop and whats not."

"I see a lot of people comparing Megadef with 2000 Fold and that's cool and stuff, but it's been 5 years since SOB has dropped anything. They are gonna change no matter what and in my personal opinion they changed for the better! I love all the beats - Flavor Crystals are awesome and the lyrics are still comparable to none. They outdid themselves!! Pick this record up!!"
Bummed on it

"Styles of beyond are one of my most played artists in my collection of music and one of my most favorite underground groups. I have been bumpin these guys for years and always get excited when I show them to my friends. Sadly, this album was not what i expected. What I hoped for was something similar to 2000 fold, amazing flows and original beats. There are 4 songs on this album that are listenable but not even worthy to the worst song on 2000 fold. Many of you are hating what im saying right now, but this is just my opinion. They brought on the start for my fantastic underground hip hop voyage to begin with and i owe it all to 2000 fold. But thats a different review. I hope their next album doesnt turn to hip-pop. But i will always love SOB no matter what."
Good Album!!!!

Exceptional follow up to 2000 Fold

"I've been anxiously waiting for Styles of Beyond to come out with a follow up to 2000 Fold. Finally my prayers were answered and along comes Megadef. It took me by surprise, how SOB have evolved since 2000 Fold but as I listened to the album more and more, i fell in love with it. It's a great album, the beats and samples are EXCELLENT!! Very inventive. And it's nice to hear SOB come out with something that doesn't sound exactly like 2000 Fold. This album takes the group into a new direction. I recommend this album to anyone who loves and appreciates SOB."
