3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Different, October 29, 2002

By	Kevin Rathert (Carbondale, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I have been listening to KMK since Saint Dog, and this CD is most definitely the biggest change in their music since Royal Highness. It seems like every second or third full length that they release their sound changes dramatically. Unfortunately this CD is no exception. The punk rock sounds of Royal Highness are kicked into overdrive thanks to DJ Bobby B and the awesome drumming courtesy of Lou Dog. The rapping on this CD is a lot weaker than it is on other CDs, they sing. I wasn't expecting songs like Positive Vibe and Full Throttle after the smash hit High Society. The sound is a lot less Reggae/Rap and is more Punk/Pop/Rap. For those of you that got started listening to KMK because of High Society I say beware. If you dig their older stuff, especially Royal Highness, than you will probably dig this album as well - but this is not the sound from High Society. On top of all the other changes, the theme seems to be changing. I mean they still sing about Ganja, but to a much smaller extent. They are getting more and more into the whole "We got hoes and are phat paid" sell out sound. The only really cool thing about this CD is the fact that they have Crack Head Willie their old Basketball coach that actually introduced the band to each other on the intro's for this album. Over all this CD is worth buying if you are a big KMK fan and have been for a while but this isn't going to be what you are expecting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rollin' Stoned, October 10, 2002

By	"boogieman_" (Mesa, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

Aahh. Finally the Kings return with the 4th full length album. 6 years later, less one orignal member, and they still know how to get down.

At first listen, several tracks off Rollin' Stoned share very few characteristics of previous works. Although the Kings keep their tag-teaming rhyme style throughout, several songs display a strong punk rock influence (Full Throttle, Zero Tolerance, Sub-Noize Rats just to name a few) which was almost non-existant on previous albums. The content of the Kings work has not changed, nor will it, hence the name, Kottonmouth Kings. The theme has stayed the same from day one, "live while you live," and smoke a lot of weed.

Personally, I feel as if this album shows how the group has matured musically over the past few years. Not only to the beats seem to be more technical thanks to Bobby B, but each member actually sings!

Also, this is the first Kottonmouth Kings album to use the 'interlude' feature the Kings very own old basketball coach.

To sum: The new album is great, although the style has seemed to change from hip-hop to more rock. For you devoted fans, give it time. Kick back and LISTEN to what these guys say. Don't let the new sound change your ideas about the group.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite KMK album, June 1, 2006

By	jono "jono" (Box Hill Nth, VIC AUS) - See all my reviews

This album is an underground classic! No bad songs on this album at all. I highly recommend this album to everyone, wheather you're a rap fan or a punk fan, it dosen't matter, this album has something for everyone. Even my mum likes some of KMK's songs (Positive Vibes, Let The Sunshine, Peace Of Mind, Tangerine Sky), and my mum hates all rap usually lol. Anyways, everyone should buy this album. \
