I purchased this CD from Amazon thinking I was getting a new release from "Ed Palermo and His Big Band". I have had the pleasure of seeing Palermo & band in NYC several times. Thier covers of Frank Zappa's big band numbers are beyond reproach. When I got this CD in my mailbox, something was, shall we say, WRONG. "Big Ed and Special Forces" is not, as Amazon described, Ed Palermo. Unless Mr.Palermo put down his saxaphone, and is now a large Afro-American belting rap tunes such as "F'ckfest" or "Head Busta",(I am not making this up) Amazon has made a pretty big mistake. With so many new releases, mistakes will happen. But to confuse big band jazz with rap sure does make me wish for a good ol' fashion' record store.

As for fans of BigEd & Special Forces, I rated this 3 stars just to be fair. (They MADE me rate it something)

This is the best Cd Big Ed has done. MOst people said big ed can't do a cd by himself. they don't know what they talkin about big ed is off the chain. He did this album mostly by himself with guess appearance from fiend, skull duggery, moby, mr. serv-on, C-murder, kane and abel, and Stealth Assassin. This is one of the hottest Cd out. If you a fan of Big Ed you should pick it up or you of fan of no limit. Big Ed he ain't tightest as most lyrical artist but he is the hardest. That a little quote from one of hit song I am the Hardest. 2,3,4,5,6,11,12,13,14,19,22, or all tight on the Cd if you believe get it listen for yourself. I rate this CD 5 star because Big Ed be putting it down like that.

I rank this Cd 5 Stars

I agree with Twins review and Justin Credible's review... This CD is definetly worth buying if your a Big Ed fan. For people thinking about buying this album.. I wouldn't hesitate...Why? Because Big Ed Be Putting It Down Like That!! By the way before I forget to pay my condolences.. R.I.P. Big Ed The Assasin.

I would never buy this album, one of my ...friends has this and I wanted to check it out to see how ...it was, and guess what? It was worse than what I expected and that is pretty bad. The production on Care Bears has better tunes than this....
