"While the Freestylers rocked hard with their debut album in 1999, the same old samples and grooves just doesn't cut it two years later. It seems as the guys didn't notice the scene went on and the still chewing on the tried and buyed oldschool hiphop-breakz. Half the Pressure Point album could have been well written in 1999, you won't tell the difference. There are some promising tracks like Now Is The Time, Calling or Blowin Ya Brainz kicking a hole in the woofer, but in overall the new stuff fails on too much subjects, mostly the ever recurring samples from the album We Rock Hard. The Freestylers ran out of money for new effects and sample CDs. Too bad."
