"One of the essential conscious hip-hop albums. KRS-One's lyric's toe the line between corny and insightful, but they come across as honest and earnest due to his young age at the time and the circumstances surrounding the death of the other member of BDP, Scott La Rock. Despite La Rock's absence,..."  [+]  Reply

"What a record, looking at Streams in Spotify or Apple Music ... maybe one of the most underrated metal albums of all time. Not one bad or repetitive song. Vocals, Mix, Production, Guitars, ... everything on point. Gutter Ballet is maybe the best song they ever wrote. Of Rage and War, When the Cro..."  [+]  Reply

"This album really takes you on a ride right from the start and really shocked me when I first heard it. The sound is unconventional and quite unique which is mainly down to the vocal by Jordaan Mason. His harsh and raw voice fits the musical styling perfectly and when you combine that with the un..."  [+]  Reply

"Each one of these 5 albums is great. Except each one of them has their own page on this website where you can give them the rating they deserve. So how about doing that instead of rating this redundant box set?"  Reply

"There are some albums that may not be that great but for one reason or another find a place in a listeners heart. This is one of those albums for me. I was young, life was crappy and this provided a good escape to an 11 year old me."  Reply
