"Common is stretching out on this album. Fuller sounds, rougher beats, and more r&b flavour. He's feeling good, and his cockiness is leaking through. Still intelligent, and still possessing one of the smoothest flows in the game." Reply

"On my third or fourth play through and am disappointed :-( Different Gear still speeding was not a classic album by any means but it wasn't bad and had quite a few stand out tracks.

"Wildly underrated on this site. He is the modern Canadian equivalent of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger lyrically - but he is a musical genius and one of the world's greatest guitarists to boot.
