| Casting the die after my first listen through. (no comments on the intros)
1. new world intro - x 2. live or die free - 6 (not too original, but love it!) 3. bloodfire - 4 4. ordo ab chao - 4 5. stay ready - 4 (love the basslines. blackout material) 6. family - 6 (don't love the changes, but love the music. never heard shit like this. just plain brilliant!!) 7. stepping stone - 4 8. renegade - 5 9. everything all the time - 2 10. mortage crisis intro - x 11. middle class blues - 5 (a great sequel song) 12. flesh and blood - 5 (sounds like yello biafra is on this one, love the way it's speeding up. lame ending though) 13. nibiru intro - x 14. planet x - 3 (something new, but i don't know) 15. higher ground - 5 (nice rap and punk combo) 16. a soldier's intro - x 17. tow the line - 6 (moon over marine? love it) 18. self aware - 6 (slow dance with a nice take off) 19. lost history intro - x 20. this love - 2 21. work on this - 1 (this track should have benn cut) 22. babylon fall - 3 (heavy ass rap shit) 23. born2ride - 4 24. girlfriend - 2 (2pac) 25. bucky lasek - x 26. don't fuck with us - 4 27. cities on the moon - 5 28. hey now - 5 (got that superspy sound to it) 29. 4smokazonly - 5
average score: 95/23 = 4
conclusion: jumping genres a lot. love the basslines!! the punk stuff is very DK inspirated. it's so diverse that for me listening through it for the first time, it doesn't feel like one album. this might change though. bonus songs sound moslty like joke songs.
much better than what i feared from the 30 second snippets and i'm positive that i'm gonna love this album! have a couple of favorites already but i bet i'll get some more after listening through the songs a couple more times. _________________ clever signature

| This album is soooooooo fucking amazing. This album shits in Insomnias open mouth in my opinion (still dig Insomnia though).
Production quality is off the charts and there is no filler like I thought there would be on an album with such a high song count.
Jared is rapping and singing again, yes that's right...truly singing. Lyrics are dope, MUSIC IS DOPE. I really dig Jah's wifes voice and it never got annoying like it did in Mirrorballin', just plain sexy and catchy like Amerikan Beauty!
I never thought I'd say this after a first listen but I think this album could very well be better than B2BX and a I fucking loooove B2BX. This joint is just so full of great shit! I'm so proud of these guys! FUCK!
Only complaint I think it's polluted with a few too many samples. This album just drips with talent dudes.
S/T, Broke, Blackout, OIA, B2BX were so different from one another and I can happily say that this album made that leap I didn't see on Insomnia. I'm hearing shit on this album that's making me think....wtf is this (hed)??? I thought I'd get to whine about some songs I didn't dig but I think there's only one which I shrugged off and that's Tow the Line and Don't Fuck With Us but I'm sure they'll grow. How in fuck can they make a 29 song album that kicks total ass all the way through? I was so cynical about N.W.O. but I've thrown all preconceptions out the window.
In my opinion The Truth EP is a poor indication of how miraculous varied and beautiful this album truly is (still dig Truth EP). I hope you guys dig it as much as I did. Now I'm going back for another listen.
HED4MOTHERFUCKINGLYFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I don't think I've ever had chills up my spine since hearing Pac Bell but Everything All The Time made me freak out. That song is just plain fucked up. Amazing!!!! _________________ Grab another bottle get high again, just prayin' that my muma don't cry again...

| i wouldn't wait anymore for my cds to come in, so i caved in and downloaded the leak..... the cd is fucking dope!!! way better than insomnia, i like the more hip hop vibe they have on this cd, jah has a good flow and they mix everything pretty good, i wasn't let than down, the 30 second samples had me a lil worried, but the cd pulled through, there are like two songs that i really didn't like | Quote: | | P.S.

| I could do without any song that has the chick singing. The girl sounds hot and all, but its kind of annoying especially in Girlfriend that songs awesome, but when the chick comes in especially when she sings that whole verse its annoying. |

| It's great, especially Family, Everything All The Time, Stepping Stone, Bucky Lasek and Stay Ready. Some of the stuff reminds me of OIA, not just because Stepping Stone has the chorus from the demo. I really like it  _________________  |
