Pac-Man's Rolemodel (Cannibalism Stylized), February 24, 2002
If I could give this album a review higher than five, I would definitely do so. When someone in a genre so cliche come out and adds something new, something like cannibalism, into his rap, he should be placed on a pedestal with the likes of Santa and the Easter Bunny. Still, simply pointing to the cannibalistic flows of Brotha Lynch does short change him because he's also very melodic and he's, well, skilled. Besides, how many other rappers take the time to pay homage to such greats like Evil Dead (in Loaded) or make their own spoof horror/comedies (Now Eat)? With hits that should have been instant radio classics like "Get Da Baby," "Return of the Da Baby Killa," and "Siccmade," I think any horror fan, little on anyone with an appreciation for the musically gifted, with adore this. Give the gift of cannibalism to someone you love!

The Definition Of Horrorcore, April 22, 2003
One of the most underrated underground-MC's ever, Brotha Lynch Hung shocked his fans when he released this 1995 CD, "Season Of Da Siccness". Possibly the greatest rap album of all time, Season is flawless in almost every way. This CD is not for the faint of heart, and probably shouldn't be listened to if you can't hang with the obscene slang and violent/sexual references. But if you can, you're in for the music treat of a lifetime. Lynch starts out with a classic track, "Siccmade", which is also the most cruel and demented song on the disc. It shows us Lynch's style of beats, dark and sinister, and introduces us to his ringing and identifiable flow. Following Siccmade is another A+ track entitled "Rest In Piss". The two long verses in this song talk about Lynch's enemies and how he is not to be messed with in general. The chorus is perfection and definitely memorable even by the mainstream populous. Next, we have an interlude talking about the "baby" of the family, which leads into one of the sickest rap songs ever, "Return Of Da Baby Killer". The chorus itself is shocking to most people, "Guess what daddy's bringin' home for supper? ***** nuts and guts and slabs of human meat mutha*****!". To most? Sickening. But the song as a whole is genius and Lynch Hung's voice flows so well with the beat. Next up we have "Locc 2 Da Brain" which is a handful of the Siccmade Muzik members on one track. It's definitely classic and Lynch's verse at the end might be the best verse on the CD. Skipping track 8's interlude, we come to a song about Brotha Lynch's dead cousin, Q-Ball. "Liquor Sicc" has the most menacing beat on the CD with ringing tones and a hellish appeal. Possibly one of the best tracks on the CD. But no song so far deserves less than a 10/10, so thats a small statement to make. The second half of the CD is not quite as perfect, but it's still made up of some of the best songs ever. Track 11, "Thatz Real Gangsta" is a bangin' track but the sound quality is not as good as most of the other tracks on the CD. I'm not sure why this is - but the song is cool anyway. "Deep Down" follows and it's an emotional track that really sucks you in. The chorus has an angellic sort of sound and they really did a good job on this one. Following this, "Dead Man Walking" is a great track without a chorus. Just Lynch spitting some verses out for us. Songs 15 and 16, "Season Of Da Sicc" and "Welcome 2 Your Own Death" are both awesome songs. The title track has sort of a raggae-ish appeal and Lynch goes Jamaican-style on the chorus. "Welcome" is the darkest song on the CD, and also the slowest pace, but is no less quality than the rest. The final 2 tracks are just outro's, shout-outs, and the like. This is the only area that I think could have been replaced with 1 or 2 more sicc tracks. Overall, this CD is unbelievably good. I almost have a hard time understanding how I'm listening to it weekly almost 8 years after its release. Every song is worthy of at least a 9 and most tracks are flawless 10/10. Brotha Lynch Hung truly created history in rap music in my mind when he released this CD, and I have yet to find another that can touch this. A few others get close, but if you're asking what the best rap album of all time is, "Season Of Da Siccness" would pop into my head first. GET...THIS...ALBUM. Overall Rating: 9.7 / 10

The Brotha.... holds it down..., December 27, 2002
It's funny... sometimes it takes a listen to an underground album to remind you what rap is all about. What is it??? Experience, Wisdom, Passion. Such is the case with Brotha Lynch Hung's "Season of Da Sickness". Besides Pastor Troy, I haven't heard such an album that encapsulates the passion, experience, and wisdom of what a rap album should be. It's tracks like "Liquor Sicc" that really remind you what rap music is about, the passion of the streets. Brotha, seeking vengenance for the death of his cousin, spits game when he delivers this song. You can really feel the passion involved with this song when you hear it. Songs like "Rest In Piss" and even "Season of Da Sickness" provide you with a small glimpse of Brotha's wisdom and experience of the streets... When you all put it together... these are the albums that really determine what rap is all about. If you don't have this one... you're surely not a rap fan.
