i liked zug izland's first album cracked tiles a lot. some of the songs reminded me of some songs that i can vaguely remember from other artists. i am not sure if that was their intention or not, but you can hear the maturity in the band in 3:33. this is straight rock music. no other way to put it. it reminds me of a lot of other rock and roll bands out there right now although i can't really pinpoint who. this album did seal the deal in my head for concidering that these boys had talent. i didn't really think they could follow up their last album with original music but they did and they did it pretty well. give it a listen and you might be surprised.

In case you don't know, Zug Izland is no longer on Pyschopathic Records. But don't fear! They're now on an imprint label created by Pyschopathic, called Ax & Smash Records. This label will cater ONLY to rock bands. This is a smart move, considering how talented these guys are! From the intense beginning to the soothing end, this album screams EXCELLENT! I'll admit, I had mixed emotions about Zug's first album, "Cracked Tiles." Maybe because it had too much to do with Violent J (he wrote it and sang in it). But no more. Now Syn & Co. are in complete control of this album. They are able to express themselves in a way that they couldn't before. And it makes a BIG difference.

So anyways, if you like rock music, you'll like this album. I was pleasantly surprised by what these guys could actually do. I know you will be too.

Zug Izland is mostly known for their association with Psychopathic Records and ICP; however, their potential can extend much farther than the artists now currently at Psychopathic could ever imagine. why? because they've got it tight like dreadlocks with WRIF (Detroit's most popular rock station, maybe the most popular in the country), and they have one of the most unique sounds i've ever heard from a rock band.

this CD offers a great follow-up to Cracked Tiles, and shows that they are more than just another Psychopathic act. With emotional connective ballads such as "You" and "Feel", it shows that Syn and the boys have a soft side to them that a Cracked Tiles fan would not expect. No song on this CD sounds remotely like any on Cracked Tiles...IT SOUND BETTER, and it still has that fresh from the oven toxic rock feel to it. I don't bash Juggalos, because a fan base always has to start somewhere, and it's a good one, but this band could easily step out of the shadows of ICP and be Detroit's next big thing! whatchu know about that 3:33 son!

yea the titled is retarded, but this cd is slamming. The only problem is deez tracks are just to short. but theyre good though. i dont see why they had 5 seconds of silence on track 13, that was silly! but yea, its not really a juggalo cd....its subject matter isnt retarded and it wont only grab the attention of retards....im glad Zug went their own way, they much better like this.

This is actually more mainstream of an album but its alot better than cracked tiles

While listening to this cd you can easily note how the band has matured and their sound has meshed together perfectly to create an original sound that is just plain FRESH! Pick this one up zuggalos and wannabe zuggalos alike!

MMCL!

I liked ZI's previous album "Cracked Tiles" and I think this may be better. I probably wouldn't have given much thought to Zug, as I generally don't listen to modern hard rock(I do like Guns'N'Roses and Alice Cooper). I am a hip-hop fan and a Juggalo, however, so I gave Zug the benefit of the doubt since they're with Insane Clown Posse's Psychopathic record label. In my opinion, what makes Zug unique is frontman Syn and his sandpaper, cigarrettes & coffee rasp of a voice. He can carry a tune better than many rockers on the radio and even when the lyrics become too self-important, he makes them worth listening to. Bottom line: If you're a Juggalo or you want an album that's loud and rocks hard, this is good stuff.
