Editorial Reviews

2009 album from one of Australia's original and most renowned Hip Hop groups. After over five years of limited exposure in Adelaide, where there was practically no Hip Hop scene, the Hilltop Hoods and others began to draw attention. The group received two nominations for the Hip Hop Act of the Year Award at The Australian Dance Music Awards and again at the 3D World Music Awards in 2001 and 2002. Today, Hilltop Hoods continue to enjoy their success, and even have their own shoe design sponsored by DC Shoes. 13 tracks including the single 'Chase The Feeling'. Universal.

These guys just get better and better. The same quick witted style with a more modern sound. More than any other, this album really makes you feel what your listening to. I still get goosebumps when listening to the last song. Not sure why, but how many albums can you say do that? Just buy it.

For once I'm happy with the "More Music From Your Previously Purchased Artists"...nice recommendation you made Amazon!

I heard of Hilltop Hoods and bought all of their available albums (downloaded from their website the ones that are no more available - by the way, that's nice of them to make them available like that for download) about 3 years ago...I really liked it...bought The Hard Road when it got out, so of course when I saw that they had a new one, I started wanting it at once!

Well, I feel it's the album I like most. Maybe it's because it's new and that I've listened to the other way too many times...but still, the first time I listened to the album, I felt that I like or love each and every song, while on an album of any artist there are always songs I don't really like...

I love this cd and rate it as one of the top additions to my collection in 2009. I am the kind of guy who listens to a lot of different stuff. One day it is Johnny Cash, the next it is some unsigned band from down the road, the next day it is anyone's guess. I stumbled upon Hilltop Hoods and have been thoroughly impressed by their beats as well as the depth of the meaning in their lyrics. So often hip hop music brandishes lyrics that make no sense. I can only hear lyrics which talk about driving on dubs and pimping some hoes. Honestly I can't relate to that lifestyle. What I can relate to is giving 100%, living an honest life, and keeping it real. Hilltop Hoods deliver that and so much more in their music. Buy this cd. Get it stateside, and spread the word. They are worth it.
