Who do ya'll think you're talkin about?, August 14, 2005
Now I havn't been a KMK fan since day one and I don't consider myself a hardcore KMK head or anything like that, but I do own all their CD's and although not all of their songs appeal to me, I still think they're one badass group. To all these so called KMK fans sayin that this CD isn't something they'd expect KMK to put out I hafta say one thing, what the hell are ya'll talkin about? This is just what I'd expect when I'd pick up a new KMK album and in my opinion this album is badass. So to all the "hardcore KMK heads" that say this is garbage, I stick my middle finger in your face cause ya'll don't know what the hell ya'll are talkin about. Keep doin ya'lls thang KMK, this album f'n owned.

A Life's Lesson, October 27, 2005
Some people just do not react well to change. I think this is the case in the people that put down this CD. I've been a huge KMK fan since my friend turned me on to it 5 years ago, and I will agree that they are not the same band that they were. Their sound is a lot cleaner now, it sounds a lot less like it was produced in a garage. And maybe, in effect, they lose some underground charm. Let's face it - the Kings are big time now, collaborating with Cypress Hill and Tech Nine. And they are here to stay. But rather than trying to hit it mainstream, I think this CD is the biggest step of maturity the band has ever taken. If you absorb the lyrics, nothing has changed in the Kings beliefs - still potheads, still freedom fighters, still anarchists, still counterculture. They have better party music with songs like King Klick, and Make it Hot (Anyone who's heard it will jam out to `Take a Bath' when they're smashed). They keep their punk rock roots with songs like Revolution (powerful song) and Slow Suicide. The track they did with Tech Nine flows great and keeps true to the KMK cult belief (and the Cypress Hill song is a nice old school track). And back on the subject of mainstream, what is wrong with the Kings having a good radio hit? Could turn some people onto the KMK lifestyle. Look, all I'm saying is that before dismissing this CD, and dismissing the style of music that KMK has turned to, look at the CD as a change in maturity instead of a push to go mainstream, because in the end, do you think the Kings expect MTV to be supportive of a band with a CD that says screw the industry, screw the government, smoke this blunt and hit this nitrous tank?

Another classic from the Kings!, June 3, 2005
When i first heard Daddy X say that the self titled album was going to be the defining work of the Kottonmouth Kings` career last fall, i thought that he was crazy and probably smoke too much weed. However after listening to the new album about 3 or 4 times, the Kings more than delivered. This album is without a doubt one of the Kings` best albums. It definitely blows Fire It Up, which i think is a very good album, away. DJ Bobby B did a great job with the beats, which will start an earthquake with all the bass on there. The production by Kumagi and X is very impressive. I really like that elements from Kingspade and Organic Soul were put to great use on the album. As for the guest spots with Tech N9ne and Cypress Hill on F.T.I.2 and Put It Down, they were excellent, especially Tech N9ne. Favorite songs: Put It Down, F.T.I.2, Watch Your Back, Let The Sunshine, Piece Of Mind, and Take A Bath. If you don`t have this album, then i highly recommend that everyone get it, because it`s too damn good to sleep on.
