"This album is hottt! Terror Squad shows they are one of the best crews in rap along with Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. All six members come to the table fully loaded. They held nothing back on this album. On "Whatcha Gon do" Pun blasts away imitators and fakes. Joe calls out haters on "Bring It On". The young members of The Squad prove they are going to rule the game one day when people actually listen to them. Armageddon is gonna blow away those who haven't heard him yet. His material is so imaginative but his force makes it real. Cuban Link flows like water over the tracks. Prospect's "99 Live" should be an anthem anywhere there is true rap. Seis' "War" just bangs in your head. The only thing wrong with this album was that the whole Squad only performed together on one track "Pass the Glock". The most surprising tracks were "Rudeboy Salute", "I Know This Girl", "99 Live" and "Payin Dues". "Rudeboy Salute" featured Joe and Pun along with Buju Banton the rasta gangsta. The three different styles just mesh together to pound out one blazin track. "I Know This Girl" featured Cuban Link along with the Squad's R&B affiliate Tony Sunshine. The song's about 2 girls, 1's a sex freak and 1's a drug runner. On "99 Live" Prospect comes hard over a bangin beat. "Payin Dues" had Armageddon trading blows with Keith Nut. This was probably my favorite track. The chorus is hot. The rhymes are as tight as they come. Armageddon lays down a miracle of a beat. If you want an album with no intros, outros or skits, with only hardcore rap and a little tight r&b you can't do any better than Terror Squad The Album. Forget what haters are saying about Joe, Pun, and the Squad, put it in your car and ride for a couple hours."

THE ORIGINAL TERROR SQUAD.

"It is a shame when you think about it, the original terror squad which consisted of Fat Joe,Big Pun,Cuban Link,Prospect,Armaggedon,Triple Seis and Tony Sunshine were in my opinion a serious up and coming group, their album is full of great tracks which did not stray from their formula of hard mobb deep type beats and hardcore rhymes. Pun is to no surprise the star on this album, his rhyming abilty outclasses everyone but saying that both Cuban Link and Armaggedon showed great promise that even after puns death these two could have held it together as serious rhymers;Prospect and Triple seis both put in a decent effort while it is clear that Tony Sunshine has a great singing voice. Fat Joe on the other hand is quite hit an miss but he was never that potent rhymer to begin with. The new TS unfortunatly due to a falling out within the group Cuban Link and Triple seis both left replacing them remy ma now represents part of the new terror squad which is just a shadow of it's former self. on the whole if you liked big puns debut album you may like this but if you bought the second TS album first and is expecting to hear another album with tracks like their single lean back then forget it, this is for hardcore hip hoppers only."
