Where are all the Ugly Duckling fans? These guys are cranking out some high quality hip-hop and all I see are 3 reviews so far. I'm not a huge hip-hop fan but I've stuck with these guys since "Taste the Secret". They rap about things like nutrition, posing, making amends, and religion - all without any pretension and while keeping a great sense of humor.

I love all of UD's songs and this album has the typical UD sound that I love. They keep it old school by creatively using samples and having a dj, which is what I miss in hip hop today. It's hard to pick a favorite song because, like with most of their albums, I fall in love with one song and after a while, I'll finally move to the next and get hooked on that one. Right now I'm stuck on Oh Yeah so I guess I'm working backwards. Nevertheless, the entire album is consistent and solid. They deserve more recognition for longevity and creativity.

first off I would give this 3.5 if i could.

First thing that struck me about this cd is 'are they having fun?'.

Andy Cooper and Dizzy D's voices just do not have the same punch and quirkiness in them, however it matches the music. Their sound has taken a bit of a diversion, the songs are a bit more complex with a mature sound where the voices of old would not blend.

Einstein gets a lot more focus on this album, even gets a song unto himself and has not lost a step.

Overall for a different album it is still pretty good, Audacity is a brilliant song showing how their sound has matured and got some killer breaks at the end.

Gotta love Ugly duckling....If you love classic hip hop artist like slick rick and those mentioned in the product review then you'll love this.
