5.0 out of 5 stars Sinister Tech November 12, 2006

By C. Todd

Format:Audio CD

Tech N9NE is one of THE most underapprieciated and misunderstood rappers alive in hip hop today. It is pathetic that some of the major labels do not take a chance and give a QUALITY artist like Tech the promotion and paycheck he deserves. The hip hop game at this point is about cars, jewlery, women and snapping fingers. Tech has always decided to take a different route and maybe this is why no major labels have come calling. If I was working at Def Jam or Aftermath I would have signed this man a long time ago. I can imagine him spitting something over a dark Dr. Dre beat or Mannie Fresh party track, it would be one of the biggest buzzes the hip hop world has never had a chance to see. I have purchased numerous major releases this year and find myself disappointed with the product. Of course this album is not perfect and it has a few filler tracks just like many of the other rap releases this year; but Tech has a much different style than anyone else, and that's why you can listen to him for a whole cd. In his case he does not have the luxury of superproducers, so he gets producers to cater to his style which is very dark, and complex. On Everready Tech takes us through the first part of the album which is more of a party feel, the second part sounds a little more like Anghellic which was my favorite album from him. This album has a lot of heavy production and you can still feel Techs hunger throughout. Some of the hooks could be polished a little more but overall I was not disappointed with this latest entry. You shouldn't be disappointed either. Pick it up with the bonus disk, it has three more tech records and more from the strange music click. Kutt Calhoun sounds like he may be next in line.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm part of the religion! December 15, 2006

By Thomas Morgan

Format:Audio CD

After hearing Tech was coming out with a new cd, i was thrilled. And i'm glad that i got this cd. Every song on this cd was awesome. The three hardest songs on the cd to me were "Come Gangsta", "Caribou Lou", and "Running Out Of Time". I have to say, having just about every other Tech CD, I think this one was his best effort, Tech is one of the realest in the game and it's a shame that he doesn't get the respect he deserves because of his appearance, because he is an individual.

If you like this CD, you'd prolly also like a few of his old ones, "Anghellic" and "Absolute Power"

Don't Hesitate to buy this CD! you won't regret your purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Talent ... Superior Album November 25, 2006

By Joshua R. Warren

Format:Audio CD

4.5 Stars

Tech N9ne - one of my all time favorites in the game. I hold this musical genius (not just hip-hop) on the same plateau as other greats in the realm of rap; like Kool Keith, RA Rugged Man, MF Doom - just to name a few. The bottom line is this: Tech N9ne's Everready: The Religion is a superior album when compared to the circulating garbage that remains. The same can be said for the majority of Tech's previous releases.

I own all of Tech's albums, but let us focus on Tech's more "commercial" releases (Anghellic, Absolute Power and Everready: The Religion). I'll be honest, despite my overwhelming knowledge of the industry, Anghellic was the first entire album I heard or owned from Tech N9ne. Immediately I fell in love with his marvelous flow accompanied by his dark sinister style with a dash of good will within his heart. That was what Anghellic was all about. Then came along Absolute Power, which was more of a frustration work of art. Not quite as well orgainzed and produced as Anghellic, but a damn fine album nonetheless. Now, Tech has blessed the rap world with Everready: The Religion.

Everready: The Religion, is not only my personal favorite Tech album, it's also his most profound. Profound because it displays Tech's vast ability to "cross-over" into multiple genres. His talent is almost endless. I've never witnessed such an artist with so much talent, that gets so little renown. Blessed with enough "skills" to dethrone all the raps greats you worship today (Jay Z, Nas, Eminem, etc.). Everready: The Religion is a nonstop ride of pure ecstasy. Perhaps one or two tracks devalue the final product, however the release overall is one of hip-hop's best albums in recent years.

Welcome to the Midwest, Riot Maker, No Can Do, Bout Ta' Bubble, My World and The Rain. These are the album's highlights. That's not to say the remainder is fruitless, because nothing on this album is, period. If you own Tech's previous albums, you'll love Everready: The Religion. If you're just a casual rap fan, or a music guru in general, do yourself a huge favor, and buy Everready: The Religion. One of life's great mysteries is simply enough, the fact Tech N9ne isn't as big as a 2Pac, Biggie, Jay Z or Eminem. In a day and age where great hip-hop music is as rare as platinum, Everready: The Religion is like an oasis in the desert.
