AOD - Noncomposmentis

1) "Introduction"
Elemental lays down a sweet ass beat to get the album started off with. It's just a short flow from AOD, but the beat by Elemental is knoccin in the background with it's dark ass feel. A nice short little intro to the album.

2) "Obstacles"
AOD is a group featuring the artists Sinn, Neves, View 1, Zicafekt and Madnus. Together they handle the lyrics and the production for the album. This song comes tight with a solid beat done by Sinn. It's not my favorite song on the album, but it has a good feel to it. They talk about facing obstacles everyday in life. A good song overall.

3) "Ripped 2 Bitz"
Another Sinn produced song and he comes even more tight on this beat than the previous one. This one has that horrorcore style to it. AOD rips the mic up with some hardcore flows on the mic talking about murder to a tight ass beat. This is one of my favorite songs on the album. It has some good work on the mic and a tight beat to go along with it. I'm feeling it to the fullest. It's more for those who are big on that horrorcore type style.

4) "Tears"
View 1 handles the production and puts a nice paino in the background to give that slow sad feel to the song. They talk about death following them everywhere they go and how sad their life is. I don't like the hook at all though, but the verses are pretty good. it could have been better with a better chorus, but overall it's a decent song.

5) "Sacrilegious" ft. First Degree The DE
Another one of my favorite songs and not just because I'm a big DE fan. The beat done by Sinn is hard as fuck and has a tight ass dark sound to it. First Degree handles the chorus with some nice vocals. The verses are tight as fuck though. They talk about being sacrilegious. A tight ass song overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

6) "Broken Silence"
Zicafekt gets his first shot at production with this song. He lays down a tight dark feeling beat that has a good sound to it. The flows are pretty good on this one too. I'm not sure who everyone from AOD is on every song, but whoever this member is he comes with some tight flows. I like the chorus too. This is a just a good song from start to finish and in every way. A clean ass song overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

7) "Late Night" ft. Neba Konezer
Back to another dark ass sounding beat done by Sinn. Once again the flows are coming tight on this one. Neba Konezer comes with an ok verse, but AOD holds it down with more hardcore flows on the mic. A tight song overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

8) "Nothing at All"
Zicafekt lays down another solid beat for this song. I'm not a big fan of the flows on this one though. I don't like the chorus that much. The verses are pretty good, but I just can't into this song that much. I was feeling the other songs on the album more than this one. A decent song, but there are better ones on the album than this one.

9) "Head Up"
Zicafekt is at it again with a tight ass beat with some clean as background instruments going on. The flows are better on this song than the previous one. The song just seems to keep getting better and better as it goes along. A tight ass song overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest, the beat really gets your head moving and keeps you interested. Tight song.

10) "Getaway"
Zicafekt back at you with another good beat, this one again has some piano work in the background with some other good instruments. The flows deal with that pressure and pain and how they want to get away from it all. I'm not feeling Zicafekt on the mic as much as him on the production end of the song. A good song overall, I'm feeling it.

11) "Times" ft. Playa Rae
Back to another beat produced by Sinn with more piano work in the background, I'm not feeling the beat as much as some of the other beats done by Sinn. The flows are pretty good. I'm feeling Playa Rae as a feature on this song. AOD comes tight on the verses too. I don't like the background vocals on the hook though. They talk about having hard times. It's a pretty good song, except that it's another sentimental type song and it's back to back with another one. I think they should have left it on the album, buy maybe they should have spread this song and the previous one out more, not back to back.

12) "All Bottled Up"
Sinn comes at it again on the production end and lays down a tight beat that gets your head moving. AOD brings the heat again on the mic with tight flows by all who grabs the mic. I'm really feeling the beat by Sinn though. Another tight ass song, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

13) "Living in the Dark" ft. Evil Poetry, B.G. Evil, Young K, Neba Konezer
Once again Sinn lays down a solid beat. One of the shortest songs on the album with the most amount of people on it. The verses are very short with everyone spitting just a few bars each. It's a cool song though to hear a variety of voices to this clean beat by Sinn. Not one of my favorite songs, but there are some good verses here.

14) "Rap Fan" ft. Elemental (narrated by Brotha Lynch Hung, Tall Cann G)
Brotha Lynch and Tall Cann just do some talking on this one, no flowing from either. Elemental lays down a tight ass beat though with some nice background instruments going on in the background. AOD brings the heat on the mic with some tight flows again. They talk about a rap fan. Elemental comes with a hard style on the mic and he spits a decent verse, he could have slowed down his flow just a bit to make it fit better with the beat. Still though this is a tight ass song overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

15) "Thoughts of Sinn"
The last beat produced by Zicafekt as he produces another tight beat. Sinn brings the heat on this one. I think he has the best style out of all the AOD members. He can also bring the heat on the production too. A hard ass track overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

16) "Unholy Roller"
View 1 produces his second and final beat for the album. He brings a good beat to the table, but I think the other producers do a better job than the two beats he made. More tight flows on the mic with AOD rippin up the mic. A tight song overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

17) "Now it's Gone"
The last beat done by Sinn right here has some more good background instruments going on. I don't really like the slower pace to it though. More of that sentimental type feel to this song. Not the best of the slower songs, but still a good feel to it. A solid song overall, not one of my favorites, but I like it.

18) "Introduction Blacc Mass"
Another beat done by Elemental that really impresses me. The hard dark feel to this one gets your head into the track. No flows, just an instrumental by Elemental to finish off the album, but a nice way to complete this solid album from AOD.

Overall this was a very good album from AOD. It features some of the best production for that dark, evil feeling. The flows were pretty good for the most part, I liked Sinn the most out of all the members, although with five I got a little confused on who was who sometimes. However, AOD does feature some tight raps by all five members. The features were alright, but they could have done the album without any features and it would still be tight. I think they put in one or two too many slower sentimental type songs, I was feeling those dark songs a lot. All in all though this album from AOD had tight production, solid flows and a couple good features. This is definately a good album to check out, especially if you're into that deep, dark type of rap.

Overall Rating = 4/5

Good Review....gotta respect it. AOD is a group that is for the most part dark & "slower" when it comes to the tempo of their music so, when cats go to pick up anything with AOD featured on it...they should expect that. I think this is what makes them stand out from the rest as a group.

They don't do uptempo happy party shit unless it's really what they feel and you can tell from this album, that wasn't the mood they were in. They brought the real and spoke about topics most are afraid too because it's not bobb ya head shit. I dig that bout my AOD fam. :)

Yep yep so true Rae. AOD came with that dark shit on this album. I was feeling a majority of the songs. I thought they got a little too repetetive with some of the slower tracks, but like you said that's who they are and that's what they talk about, so I got to respect that. This is definately worth picking up though, so if anyone sees this chillin at a record store then throw it in your shopping cart.

Late!

I would say that this album does have a slower feel to it yes, and that defines this album, but the newer material has been more up tempo. While were not gonna get on that twista type speed, our next album ( Blacc Mass ) while definitley be more up tempo. While we belive in the old saying "If it ain't broke dont fix it" as artist you have to branch out and spread your wings, if you dont you will never grow. The next one is shaping up already to be something so much more bigger than this one.

There is so much that I have learned since we 1st started this album, and I wish I could go back and change alot of things but I cant. I am happy overall with the end result though. The 1st album is a killer, you dont really know whats right or wrong you just sort of do it. Some things come out great other things well, I guess mistakes are there so you learn. All of us in A.O.D have always had the heart for music, and that is the main driving force. This album represents alot of things in our lives too. The slower tracks may break from the mold of the rest of the album, but its a stress relief to vent these issue's and it helps us to deal with them. You dont know personally but threw the songs you can feeel the pain and struggles we went threw during the duration it took to complete this project. It really is true, how your life is is how your music is, they are one in the same.

Again I would like to thank Rae for everything, I know we say it a million times, but you dont find to many cats that are real about there bizzness and handle themselves in a professional manner.

@Blutarski - Thanks for the review again, I didn't really know what to expect but I'm glad you liked it for the most part. We always did music for us and we still do but were always glad when others feel it and vibe with in any way shape or form. Again thank you for listening like Zica said.

Peace View 1 of the AOD-ORG
