Thoroughly blunted multiracial West Coast pioneers Cypress Hill transformed hip-hop with their eponymous debut album. Now Stoned Raiders, their sixth, looks back on past achievements and clocks up a string of new ones. The metal-powered "Trouble" takes off where their "Rock Superstar" single left off and fixes a mood of embattled reflection aligned to tough determination. "Lowrider" uses an acoustic flamenco guitar to underline the droopy-lidded, easy-rolling side of the band and "Kronologik" tells the story of the group's career and struggles with the help of guest Kurupt. Additional special appearances by Redman, Method Man, and Kokane prove an excellent foil for B Real's patented cartoon style. Throughout they are kept on course by DJ Muggs, still one of the most distinctive studio overlords. His skills are particularly evident counterpointing the anguished lyrics of "Bitter" with multilayered siren voices and waves of dream rock guitar on the luminous percussion of "Memories" and the eerie but impassioned, weed-endorsing "L.I.F.E." They may be fighting their own personal star wars, but the stoned raiders are still winning the battle. --Gavin Martin

For whatever reason, this seems to be the Cypress album that everyone is negative about. Not really sure why, b/c everybody loved skull and bones, which had the rock and rap thing going on as well. With stoned raiders, you get a good deal of both styles; the new metal stuff (trouble) as well as the hardcore rap (southland killers). B Real and Sen sound as tight as ever and of course Muggs is always on point. People seem to hate b/c Cypress is trying out some newer styles. Truth is, these guys couldn't make a bad record if they wanted to...

This cd everybody is ragging on. Everyone wants TOB or Black Sunday, so then just go listen to that cd. They are expirementing with new styles and integrating sounds which for the most part is done very well. Of course it's not like their old stuff, because that would just be lame redoing old beats and lyrics. All and all, this really is a good cd for any CYPRESS HILL fan, not just a TOB fan.

Cypress Hill dropped their first record over 10 years ago, and the year is now 2002 and they are still making tight music. Stone Raiders is the best Hill record of them all; they have developed such a dope style over the years, and this is so apparent in the songs on this cd.
CH has always been about the hardcore style, and they have added the rock element to the mix in recent years. However, the production is still hip hop as is B Real's flow, and that to me is keeping it real but adding another phat element to the package. These guys just can't make a bad song.
The whole album flows from one track to the next...not something you can say about many groups out there. Usually 2 good songs and ther rest of the disc is garbage. Not so with Cypress Hill.
I love Southland Killers as well as the song with Red and Meth. Yo, go get this...

Rage Against The Hill
The metal rap songs are great. Kind of sound like Rage Against the Machine. They've done stuff like this in the past so idk why everyone is complaining.

Not as good as previous efforts
A rather uninspired effort, with Muggs thoroughly ripping off Dre's style on Lowrider, and the intro to Trouble sounds suspiciously similar to that of MatronsApron's Neutral... Read more
