There are easily 3 or 4 radio cuts on here.... I really dont think Misunderstood was the right choice for a single tho, dont get me wrong its an awesome song, but I feel some other songs would of been better choices now hearing the whole album...

Either way... I REAAAALLY hope they push this album hard man, the way Krizz tears it up on these hooks n shit, he could easily be the new akon or tpain spittin on everyones hooks...

Just listen to his hook on Getcha Life Right, I could hear that over a Rick Ross, Jeezy, Wayne, Bun B, Luda or a Game track...

I've been listening to the CD for about 45 days. It sounds better today than the day I got it. This is a classic album, unchartered territory. It has everything at a high level.

This review is off the top of my head. I might forget a few tracks.

Genius: Off the hook. His mom sings on this cut.

Back Pack: is a radio cut for urban stations. not my particular cup of tea, too simple but urban stations love this kind of stuff.

Doe Doe: this is my kind of urban rap/dance song. E-40 absolutely tears it up on this cut. Krizz does what he does.

Get Off: outstanding. groundbreaking. no rapper has ever done what tech n9ne does on this song. never been done. incredible. kaliko took tech to a new level. this is a great r&b ballad.

Butt Naked Fun: krizz demonstrating the versatility that no other rapper has. sounds like something jamie foxx would do.

Get My Life Right: can you say Tupac Shakur? square bizness. this is the kind of music tupac used to make. skatter and snug should've stayed with strange just to see how far this song goes. at this point in the album, i'm sitting here with my mouth wide open wondering where else krizz could go.

Dead Wrong: liked it when i first heard it. love it now.

Misunderstood: krizz goes gnarls barkley on em.

Bipolar: no this fool didn't? oh, yes he did. fat mofo just went Prince on em. nobody has ever done this in hip hop, ya'll. nobody. Outkast didn't do this... Krizz just went Prince on 'em.

So High: kutt calhoun is so talented.

The Chemical: now he done went rock and roll, Nine Inch Nails.

Be Right Back: big scoob is now in the building and this joint just got real ghetto and gutter. played this at my barbershop and had to mace people just so i could get out of there without a fight. by the time tech closes this out, you ready to stomp on anybody who looks at you funny.

Hum Drum: now he's taking us to a beach in jamaica. c'mon, man... has a hip hop album ever taken us so many places? now we blazing one with bob marley.

Happy Birthday: you gotta listen to the whole thing. the last minute is absolutely hilarious and makes this The Birthday song.

Choir Boy: now this sloppy mofo is gonna take us to church. ain't that a biscuit!

Any objective review of this CD would have to classify it as one of the 20 best hip hop albums of all time. We've never really been here before so most people won't know what to think. It's just damn good music with very little cussing. I don't think Krizz ever cusses.

I would call Tech and Krizz the new Outkast... but Outkast never did it like this.

The more I listen, the more I'm loving it. Maybe its just because its new and fresh right now, but could this be best we've heard from Strange?

I would say at the moment, yes but we have Big Scoob droppin, KOD, another Brotha Lynch? and possibly Kabosh in this half of 09
When is Monsteriffik dropping?

Maybe if you were on TRT9, Eyeless.

I like it.
'Twas better than Sickology when I compare the first listens of each.

i know thats right. Genius shits all over sickology. i wasnt really expecting much from the snippets of this album but damn it blew me away, plus the range of styles it holds has people around that cant stand rap diggin it. my only complaint and its minor is that there isnt much of that krizz kaliko opera on it, but oh well the album is great and actually made me excited about music because its not some bland shit that tech is recently doing to "fit in" kali baby!

EDIT: also like the fact that there was some S&S on it, didnt like how they were written off on sickology
