Don't believe the reviewers who say the choruses kill the album. These are undoubtedly die-hard Shootyz fans who hate to hear any kind of change, just like the Metallica fans who cry "sellout" every time they release anything. There is no question they don't like the choruses because the guys actually sing them with some sort of structure, instead of just free-style rapping, as in their previous releases. I have all of Shootyz CDs, and I love them all, but this one is BY FAR their best - it really shows their growth as a band. The songs are actually quite diverse and cover a lot of ground, both musically and lyrically, from the bass-driven groove of "Faithful" (written for the fans) to the acoustic intro on "Dear God" to the feel-good song of the year, "L-Train", this album has it all! Trust me, this whole album is tight, and if you like rap/rock at all, or anything with a good groove, you will LOVE this album.
