I thought got this was roc's best solo release. I really enjoy it. 

Haven't listened to every second of it yet.

Digital Voodoo - Good production and good delivery, lyrics are a little weak

Let Me Out - Good, except they mixed in Gmo's bars obviously way after the fact.  This seems to be Twiztid's trademark these days with features: drop the beat, mix in someone else, resume beat for hook.

What is hell - ROC strong, later verses somewhat weaker.

The rest of the album is pretty weak.  I don't like ROC when he is trying to rap fast, at least not on these beats.  Sounds like the beats were remixed from something else he originally rapped over; some beats aren't really even that high tempo and he's trying to machine-gun rap, and for me it just doesn't work.

I think this would have been a better showing if it was EP length and a little more time was spent really grinding out each track.  I think MNE is doing some rush jobs here.

production is sick 

R.O.C. still has it as a rapper too 

first song is the only one I skip 

I think everyone is being far too kind with this album. Personally, I'm bummed because I wanted to like it more than I actually did. Lord knows I waited long enough.

First allow me to point out that 'legendary' MNE production. HypnotizedNinja already points out that he uses recycled music, which is weak all on its own, but then there are several tracks that feel overproduced. The opening track is probably the worst offender. I get that he wanted to really push the 'Digital' aspect, but there's all these figurative bells and whistles going on in the background on top of the beat that is...actually kind of cool from the strict stance of listening to the music, but it also distracts from the rapping itself. This goes on for the whole album. It's busy in a bad way.

Then there's the rapping itself. ROC comes across on this album like a rapper suffering from a crisis of identity. His bars bounce back and forth between conscious and psychadelic, with the occasional line of pure wicked shit. This works best for him if these ideas are kept separate and fleshed out in individual tracks (his Welcome to the Dark Side ep was a great example of this in practice), here it seems like his concepts wear too thin too quickly, and he's just rhyming the next word for the sake that it rhymes with the word preceeding it. In the end it comes across like that guy who rambles on and on and never actually makes a fucking point. He certainly has the energy and delivery, but nothing he says is particularly clever or revelatory or even memorable.

I had a sinking suspicion when I saw the track list that the sheer amount of guest features would carry the album. This is true, but it also has the effect of making you wish you were listening to these other artists instead. ROC is outshined by every other MC on his own album, save for maybe Boondox. The closing track, Revelers in The Dark, was the only track on the album I positively loved but the emotional weight is carried very much by Lex. It's a bad look when you need your hand held to close out your own album.

I've always been in ROC's corner, but I knew once they were going to go ahead with the dinosaur of a project that is Digital Voodoo it would come out as a hot turd. I wanted to like it so much, but in the end I just found it to be mediocre beyond the scope of time it took to come out. Might be be a classic for somebody, but not for me.

DAAAAMN SON!  That's what I gotta say on this new ROC.  Pleasantly fuckin surprised, had a little road trip yesterday and bumped it the whole ride.  He really killed it.  If anyone was second guessing it, like myself.  Give it a try, shit was bangin!  I honestly didn't really hear any skippers.  Listened to it from beginning to end straight head noddin'

So far I've been really surprised by 2 albums and 2 artists that I didn't really care for in the past, Boondox and now ROC.  

Is it really the #yearofthesword haha

Yeah, the worst album to come off MNE was Blaze's Casket maker thing...  That shit suuuucked.

To me, these days, Blaze is a better feature guest on other peoples projects than a whole album of Blaze.  I think that Triple Threat is gonna be fire.

Really enjoyed the album for what it was. People are criticising him for having too many guests, but I'm not listening to this to rate him as a solo artist, I'm listening to the album to judge it as an album. The guests all fit the vibes of the songs and it all works well for me. Easily his most consistent release. 

Am I the only one that has no interest in this Triple Threat album, and would kill for a new Twiztid/ROC project? I honestly feel like Triple Threat will just sound like a Twiztid album the features Blaze on every song and not have its own identity. 

....You know, you make a very good point there.
