The opening track, “Monday Night Raw,” starts off strong and everyone manages to deliver a solid verse along the way. Snippets of Stone Cold act as the hook for this song, which works for the most part. Overall this was a great song to kick things off. 3/5

“Sons of Anarchy,” has a good beat and manages to feel like a hype track for the Scumbag crew, not that this is a bad thing. In fact, it flows well on this one and partnered with a decent chorus we see everything come together nicely. 4.5/5

An eerie beat starts, “Game of Thrones,” off on the foot and once again gives everyone a nice platform for their rhymes. Though the beat seems to point to a slower pace, but lyrically the flow is at full speed. The hook gives a us a chance to breathe for a moment, but it certainly doesn’t last long. 3.5/5

A nice trap beat drops as Grimm Gutter gives us a first listen to his attempt at delivering a hook. Guess what? It works amazingly well and while it is not his best on the album, it still seems to bring this track to another level. Everyone involved on, “Mad Men,” brings a great verse and really makes this track stand out. 4.5/5

“Family Feud,” is an interesting track that shows how firmly the crew stands beside each other. It’s less like a feud and more like a reason you wouldn’t want to. A good track overall, but the hook unfortunately doesn’t feel as solid. 3.5/5

Another solid hook kicks this track off and will have you nodding your head along before the verse even starts. Compared to what we’ve heard so far this has the most melodic beat as well and everyone seems to match this well. As turns out, “Criminal Minds,” would end up being one of my favorite tracks off the entire album. 5/5

“Intervention,” doesn’t just deal with drug addiction, it does that too, but it covers a wide variety as you can imagine. Lyrically this one is great and everyone’s flow works well, but the hook feels a little off. Don’t get me wrong, it does work rather well, the delivery is solid and it certainly doesn’t bring the track down at all. 4/5

As you try to decipher the sample track that’s playing in reverse, the first verse drops in and gets you nodding along. The chorus is lifted from Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me,” and slowed to an almost eerie level. Not only does it sound great, but it brings a nice dark feel overall to, “True Life: I’m Paranoid.” 4/5

“Metalocalypse,” as you may have guessed features a guitar-laden beat and delivers a more vocally aggressive chorus. Grimm Gutter returns and delivers one of the best hooks on the entire album, making sure to add in some metal vocals as well. The whole track fits the theme well and every verse hits hard. 4/5

The next track opens up strong and thankfully everyone seems to match this intensity. This keeps a solid feel through the entire song and delivers on its’ vampiric message, though don’t expect vampires in that sense. This is based on the real life vampires that drain us of life. While the beat for, “From Dusk Til Dawn,” may seem jarring at first after the previous track, it’s solid and gives a great platform for everyone to shine on. 4/5

“Rescue Me,” is as the name suggests, a very somber track and Grimm Gutter returns for one final hook that is simply amazing. Sure, it isn’t the most complex, but it fits with the song so well that it takes everything up a level. It’s almost redundant to say, but once again everyone brings fire in their delivery and lyrical skills. It seems this is a trend with this album and one everyone will be happy with. 5/5

The closing track, “The Bates Motel,” ends things with a bang and throws the whole Scumbag crew into the mix. This is a great way to showcase the talent on display throughout the rest of the album. The hook is good and though the track runs over six minutes is does a fair job allowing everyone a chance to shine and give one final impression. 4/5

Gutter’s ability to deliver a solid hook really shine’s on this album and helps elevate those particular tracks. The whole crew does a great job of showcasing some of the amazing talent that’s building down in Florida. This one is definitely more than worth the $8 price tag and absolutely one that I have to recommend. 4/5
