Mr. Hyde is the type of mc that almost frustrates me. His obviously intelligent lyrics and vicous flow could be better used than the death raps he spews at every chance. Granted, he's a master at his craft and Necro brings just the kind of beats necessary to get Hyde's gory point across, but some true concepts wouldn't hurt the appeal of the album. Case in point, "Married to Pain" suffers from a banal concept and teters on irritating with the chorus. However, Necro comes through on the boards and I can't deny Hyde's intense delivery and skills on the mic. "Death Sentence" featuring Sabac Red fairs better, with Hyde rapping from the point of a convict and Sabac spits from the point of view of the jail holder. However, the song is too short, and the outro (sampled from the green mile) is too repitive for repeated listens. "Bums" featuring Necro and Uncle Howie doesn't quite do it for me either, as the "bum bum bum" sample is almost cute and doesn't fit in with the vibe of Hyde and Necro, and Howie's ridiculous spitting at the end destroys the concept and quite frankly has no relevance to the song. Also, the loop employed in "Satanic Wordplay" was also utilized in Yak Ballz song "The Drill" which is not something I'd expect from Necro. However, the posse cuts with the other members of the Circle of Tyrants are amazing, and most of Hyde's solo cuts are brutal as usual. Overall, a tight album, but I'm hoping Hyde will show us a little more Jeckyll on his next cd.

Mr. Hyde is known for a few things. He is an extremely violent person; he served time in jail, and is Necro's best friend. What people don't know is that he has been crafting this album for over seven years and he does not fail to impress.

Necro gave Hyde the best beats of any hip hop album in 2004 and the production on this is as timeless as Group Home's "Living Proof," or Wu's "Enter the 36 Chambers." Unlike Group Home's album, Hyde is not only an adequate lyricist he is quite thoughtful. While a theme of needless violence rises and sets through each of the songs, there are some very introspective songs like "Bums," where Hyde raps from the perspective of a homeless man and does a commendable job. On "Death Sentence," Hyde raps from the electric chair as he is about to be executed. While on the surface this may seem like gratuitous violence, Sabac lends a hand and raps from the perspective of the inmate's warden. The relationship between the two represents an eerie dichotomy which hasn't been seen in hip hop before.

Hyde also introduces many songs with movie clips that reflect the theme of the track. While not a novel idea, Hyde executes this technique better than anyone else before him. The metal remix of "The Crazies," is also of note because for each person's verse (Bill, Gore, and Necro feature on the song), Necro plays a different guitar riff to fit the person's style. Very slick.

To sum up everything I have said above, BUY THIS ALBUM!

This cd is one of the best releases from Psychological this year in my opinion. Mr. Hyde is one of the rawest members of Psychological.Sick flows,a brutal mind.With tracks like The Crazies,Them,and Spill your blood you'll be amazed the way this cat blends death and rap,and of course the usual goons Goretex, Ill Bill,Sabac,Kid Joe,Howie and Q-unique appear. One of my favorite cuts on the album is Death Sentence or Urban Gorilla's. They did good to let Vinny Paz make an appearance. Jedi Mind tricks is mad dope.Overall this is a good album and if you like death rap like I do there aint nothin better then some good psychological records ish cause it's logical to be a psycho!

First of all this cd is sick.Songs like On the Say my name , spill your blood ,the crazies metal version , knife in your spine, married whit pain will leave you whit back chillz.WARNING!THIS CD IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! If you have no problem listening to necro than this cd is for you but if your stricly into POP this is not for you. This cd is not for the weak hearted even in the booklet there pics of gore.This album is dead serious about death and gore and pure violence.Unlike necro albums were you sometimes get little giggles about his dark humour this album is pure raw uncensored gore knife in your spine spill your blood music. I recommend it to all psycho-logical fans out there. Add this one to your collection. Peace

Yo this CD is tight from the start to the end you feel the raw hardcore lyrics of Mr. Hyde and the tight beats from Necro. With a style like label owner Necro MR.HYDE rips tracks apart at the arms. A peferect first album look for this cat in the future. PSYCO-LOGICAL RECORDES ON THE RISE!!

Ummmm is it just me or does Mr. Hyde have a disgusting rhyme flow like Esoteric??.....He got gory lyrics and the production is Necro top notch. (Big ups to the goons out there in this hell-hole) But, i said this since Hyde's radio appearance on Necro's "I Need Drugs", the kid sounds like he just popped out of the early 80s. Him and Esoteric are 2 lucky f&*ks to have the ability to make nation-wide album(s) with a flow remiscent to boy bands ( the a&r guy made me rap on this pop song) style. Buy the album if you wanna hear the other guys rip it on the posse cuts. I might just cop it for that reason and the nice artwork on the cover.........

After Ill Bill and Sabac's Solo Debut's still playing in my CD Player..........Necro produces yet another excellent release. This isn't quite as good as the two above but I was expecting this to be kind of a drag since I've heard him on other CD's and never thought he was that talented. Great beats, death raps, and some (but not too many) great guest appearances this album is DEFINITELY worth getting!! If you like any of the NonPhixion stuff so far this is no let down.

This album is brutal. from the beats to the lyrics to mr hyde flow, this album attacks you.
and its brilliant. mr hyde is vicious, hes not like your average mc , hes not trying to make nerdy methaphors, he comes to slaughter you with the rhymes, and his voice sounds harder than the mcees from MOP!
its not for everyone, if you like violence and violent music, it will be your favorite album , if you like "classic" mceing, its not for you.the beats are as usual with necro , perfect

This album is an underground classic, in my opinion. Necro did awesome production on this album and Mr. Hyde's style is so violent and angry. Listen to "The Crazies", "Barn Of The Naked Dead" & "Married To Pain" these are three of the best Psycho+Logical-Records' songs ever. I highly recommend this album to any fan of death rap, although i can tell from some of the other reviews that this album isn't for everyone. I recommend that you download a couple of songs off of this album before you buy it.

this is hiphop! a really good album! SPIL YOURE BLOOD ON THE CONCRETE SPLIT YOURE MUG .......
the interludes are crazy! This is one of the best album's of the psycho-logical camp.

Represent!
