I downloaded the track last night and have listened to it at least 15 times all the way through. I got no problem with the production, I think that's pretty clean, I liked how he switched the beat up. I love the story X tells and the lyrcs are fire. I do hope they have some more up tempo beats, though. As far as the quality of the vocals, if Unforgiven and VIM is a 10 on the clarity, I'd say this is at least 8. It does beg the question of, why is it different from the previous clearer recordings? Great move with providin all the lyrics in the insert of the CD. Also, this is a 6 minute song with no features and no real chorus in the middle. Straight spitz. I'm happy to have some new X to bump, lookin forward to hearin the rest of the album.
