The production is sick! I love the Believer and Rap's Finest tracks. I wish it had an Eminem cameo, but It's still a dope project! I can't wait to hear more from Bizarre and D12.

Bizarre has decided to tone it wayyyyyyyyyy down compared to all his previous work and focus more on the lyrics. This album is loaded with tight beats and serious content compared to his other cds. This is by far Bizarres best album to date. I was very impressed.

My god, everything before this cd everything bizzare made is horrible, and dont get me wrong his previous works were really good but this takes the cake.

I have always been a Bizarre fan. From D12 Devils Night up to Blue Cheese & Coney Island, but unlike Bizarre's last 2 solo studio albums Friday Night at St. Andrews has meaning to the songs. The songs feel fresh and most importantly, unique to Bizarre as an individual and not just part of D12. Its great to see something turn out this great for Biz that hasn't got Eminem's input! Well done bizzy!

Come along to The Shady Fan 'Site at [...] for more on D12, Biarre, Eminem and more!

Bizarre returns after a little over 2 and a half years to bring you his 4th solo album, and his best to date (I don't have his "Attack of the Weirdo's EP, which I"m also counting as his 1st solo album). His 6/05 "Hannicap Circus" i'd give a low 4 star rating to and his 10/07 "Blue Cheese & Coney Island" I'd say was borderline 3.5/4 stars, this is very close to being a 4.5 star album. With 17 songs, you get 1 I skip, 3 are ok, the other 14 are good, with alot being real good songs. If he dropped 3-4 songs off this, it definitely would be a 4.5 star album. Of the 17 songs, you get guests on 13 of them, rapping on 8 and doing the hook on 5, so you don't get as much of Bizarre as you'd expect, but he always goes heavy on the guests on his albums. Production is nice as well. Honorable C-Note and Bus& Napoleon each do 3, Silent Riot does 2, and Calvo da Gr8, Cuttmaster Swiff, Sky of the Northstarz, J Wells, Nick Kage, Will Power, Roundtable Kings, Walt Q-Sick, and Witt all do 1 song. Like it was said before, he definitely toned it down a little on the off the wall/goofy lyrics and put out a very nice quality album, like I always knew he could but never went that way fully in his releases. I'd definitely say pick this up, and you'll probably be a little surprised as what you get.

rock a bye baby on a tree top when the wind blows the cradle will rock... thats the kind rhymes you gear on here! this guys is a rapping porn star and that is not a good thing!

This album is a little more serious than Bizarres earlier work which i see as a negitive. Bizarre is not lyricaly profound, it is his style of comedic rap that draws fans. Not to say the album is bad the rap is fairly good and some comedy remains but there are too many weak songs and not enough laughs in the album to recieve 5 stars.

This album is really good. Bizarre sounds more focused on this and his lyrical skills and content are just awesome. Beats are really good too!
