This album is absolutely brilliant! At first, I recieved it and didn't enjoy the beats that much, but once I sat down and listened to the lyrics I was just amazed! Imagine listening to Ras Kass's Soul on Ice and you'll understand what I mean! Well, even though the production isn't amazing or will get you to bump your head with pounding bass every song, there are some majestic production moments. My two favorite beats are from the songs "Angel" and "Hate in a Puddle" in which producer Blueprint uses soft piano to correspond with the tone of the song. Illogic is an emcee that should rank in the upper echelon of any knowledgeable hip hop head's list. His ability to switch from battle raps ("Blaow and "Me Vs. Myself") to conceptual poetics that are amazing ("Angel and "Hate in a Puddle"). For fans of underground rap, there are a few guest spots. These include Dose-One, BlackSmif, Lioness, and Blueprint. So to conclude, GET THIS ALBUM JUST FOR THE ILL LYRICS!!

this album is outstanding. illogic is a true mc, that deserves respect. his lyrics are fun, deep, broad, astract, original....everything!! the thing i like most about him tho, is his delivery--the way the words flow out his mouth, his cadence, is simply outstanding. just great breath control. Contrary to others, i loved the production of this album. every track complemented ILL's direction. i got this album about a month ago and can't stop listening to it. Really feeling him. My favorite cut...."check it out"

"purified, still i demonstrated the wack is eliminated'"

illogic. what an amazing talent. his lyrics are incredible and "hate in a puddle" has to be one of the greatest tracks i've ever heard. some of the beats are misses but on the whole this album is a must and illogic's upcoming lp will no doubt be great as well
