I had no idea who lmno was till' i heard him make an appearance on playdough's(of ill harmonics)solo cd on a song called,"Shadow Dance." I wasn't too impressed. Then I hear some of the tracks on LMNO's own cd and I'm like,"Dang... That's tight." I heard "Radiant" and "Always." Man... I wanna' hear him do a collaboration with Manchild of Mars Ill. This was just too cool, a lot better than I woulda' expected. The beats are just... tight.

A few things to be said... LMNO, of the Blak Forest, and Visionaries crew, is not for the weak of mind, and if you've kept up with his work, you already heard the best. I personally believe that the new tracks that were added to make this album are nothing to special, but if you havent already heard his first singles, I will suggest this cd. just make sure your ready for it. peace.

Lets Meet Negative's Opposite or LMNO, best known for his work with the Visionaries crew has dropped a splendid offering that is going to be tough to digest for the spiritually deprived.His lyrics are soaked in truth and the confidence in his delivery is unmistakable.Beats are courtesy of Rob the Viking, Nucleus,Ev and a couple of other cats,heavy on the piano loops,nothing spectacular but certainly adequate.The lyrics are what define Lmno,and draw heavily on Spiritual warfare, eternal salvation,and what really makes a woman beautiful(check 'Natural Beauty'.)The fact that someone could listen to this album and say the content is "boring" or "goes nowhere" is both scary and sad,but illuminates perfectly the mindstate of this nation. Oh well,one day soon it'll all make sense. peace till then

The shining star of the always ill Visionaries crew, LMNO, finally steps out in his VERY long awaited solo LP. I've yet to hear LMNO lend his voice to anything truly wack and the trend continues here. With help from people like Evidence, the Beat Junkies, and even the Visionaries would you expect anything less? Don't walk into this one thinking to hear a stream of nonsense about hoes and guns. LMNO's positive style doesn't grate on you like Talib Kweli or Common's. He still battles with the best of them and continues to rap over some serious head noddin' tracks(unlike the previously mentioned duo). Run out and get this one today.

Sorry,I had to warn everybody. Yes this album is 95% about God, but that's not why I'm only giving it 3 stars. The fact is, LMNO (like the rest of his crew except 2Mex)needs the other Vision-ares to balance him out. The whole is more than the sum of the parts. Compared to other crap out there though, its probably a 4.

The CD is totally solid, with the beats by Key Kool fittin LMNO's flow the best. He's weak on a few chorus's, but that's forgiven when considering that he doen't waste rhymes spitting nonesense. Also, unlesss I'm mistaken, I don't think there is a single curse word on this disc (that is definitely comendable).

As far as the religion thing goes, I respect his beliefs even if they aren't my own. The fact is he's not a sheep as proven by the line "God owes an apology to Sodom and Gomorah/if He doesn't destroy America". Definitely a freethinker.

Buy this disc, it's amazing. Fulla depth, substance and mad skills.

An Album like this makes me hate hiphop sometimes, cause this is another album with predictable beats and boring lyricism, I would like to say that there are a few good tracks on this album like the first two songs, and the tracks that Evidence from Dialated Peoples produced, but everything else basically is average material, too many hiphop albums are like this, to me this is just another album that goes nowhere, I took this album back to the store the same day I bought it, what does that tell you, peace.

Yea, i know that LMNO is better than most mc's out there, but this cd is almost a complete waste of my time. There is a god or jesus reference in just about every song. LMNO's lack of diverse content just gets way too boring. About 3 songs into the album, you feel like you are at sunday school. I mean that's cool if that's all you really wanna hear, but i like music about a variety of topics, and i think others like me were just as bored with this album. LMNO's lyrics just seemed way too complacent and at times his delivery even makes him sound like he's not into it. The production is pretty good and was one of the only things that got me through the entire album, but lyrically LMNO comes off boring.
