I'm not big on focusing on lyrics unless it's an artist I truly connect with on that level, so I'll skip my analysis of that. Production wise, Parallel Thought drops some beautiful music on this album. The whole album has, for the most part, a real soulful, sometimes kind of jazzy, sometimes a little funk/lounge type of feel to it. Great vocal samples, horns. Couple of the tracks are definite bangers. The production is the strong point, for sure.

Tame's delivery is what you'd expect. He seems a bit more relaxed on this album, and slightly less animated with his words, but it's not too subdued.

My biggest issue with this album is a few of the interludes (if that's what you'd call them) are too long, and not even worth listening to more than once. After only a few listens through the album, I'm already skipping through each of them now. Also, not every track is as strong as the next. It's not a front to back powerhouse knockout or anything, couple tracks feel a bit like filler.

Basically, I don't think this is a classic like Spazmatic was, but it's still pretty good on its own. If you're a fan of good, soulful production, you'll definitely want to get in on this. If you're a fan of Tame, get in on this. But if you're new to Tame, or not really sure, you might check out Spazmatic first. So 4 stars. Strong album, but not in any special class.

Peace & love

Glad I bought this one! Rap has really been suckin' lately. So it's hard to find a album that you can listen to without skipping tracks. This is one of my favorite albums to workout to. Been a fan of Tame since he was with Artifacts. If you like lyrics that actually make sense and tight beats, this is the CD for you. Favorite songs are:

1) Action Word
2) Move
3) Supanatural
4) Catch Me
5) For You
6) Now

I recommend you buy this record. Everything from beats to rhymes to guest appearances (Sean Price & Del tha Funkee Homosapien) are top notch.
