Ya'know,I really feel good when I buy albums like this.No word of mouth( no pun attended),no posters on lamppost to remind of the release date or any other advertisement for that matter.Just good ol' fashioned searching around for the right material.So I guess you can say I've found my needle in the haystack.The sticker on cover didn't lie when it said "One of the best releases this year".To be honest of any year.

5.0 out of 5 stars THANK GOD THERE IS STILL GOOD MUSIC, July 28, 2006

I don't need to say many things about this album. My anticipation is finaly over, and i'm just glad that there are still people out there who are concerned about this genre of music.
When i was little bit younger i was all into boom bap rap, looking for Wu-tang and Onyx stuff. But as the time pass (maybe my taste matured),and looking whats happening with those groups i'm diggin the chill-soulfull hip hop. I have to mention ,that i was in Taipei before 2 and half weeks to see Onyx live. But as i expected: Only Freddro Starr showed up and there, acting 40 minutes only.No need to say anything, just go look for this kind of rap/soul maybe you'll change your aspects and you'll apreciate the hip hop as its in this form.
HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.

If Little Brother were still interesting, not full of themselves, or taking themselves so seriously, they'd sound like Strange Fruit Project. I know I'll get a lot of unhelpfuls for that statement, but I think S1, Myth, and Myone have similar rhyme styles to LB, but with more speed and fluidity and less dependence on metaphors and similies. You can witness the similarities and the differences on "Rise" which features Little Brother. Not only do they spit like no other rapper I've ever heard out of Texas, but the production is on point as well. S1 raps, but he also (excellently) produces 5 of the 14 tracks with 9th Wonder (1), the underrated Illmind (3), Nicolay (1), M-Phazes (1), the constantly overlooked Jake One (1), The Foundation, and Vitamin D holding down the rest of the production. I have to say that the beats are definitely what you'd expect from that lineup.

As far as flaws go, there really aren't many. Maybe one or two tracks are what I would label as skip material (Liberation & Pinball). They just didn't grab the ears of this particular listener, but if you dig that smooth stuff, then you should be able to play this one from start to finish.

The Healing is easily one of the top 15 hip hop releases of 2006. S1, Myth, and Myone are some of the dopest rappers I've ever heard to come out of the lone star state. To be honest, I never knew Texas had it in 'em. I recommend adding this one to your library.
