Well, after my first listen through the album I have to regrettably say I'm not feeling it. With the exception of the two tracks they released early on (GV & Grime) every song sounds the same. Maybe it'll grow on me after a few spins and I'm still looking forward to their live show, but right now, meh...

Just shitty that this one didn't get the proper promo or more bundle packages. It's actually a CD-R with a sticker on the top.

Wack. They had plenty of time to get it to a pressing plant too.

MNE didn't even film a video to help promote it.......confused  

It's a fuck up on MNE's part. They aren't perfect either. From everything I've seen the album has been in demand and is getting great reviews. Really though 2 preorder packages is shitty compared to everyone else who dropped a album with mulitple different bundles.

Maybe there was a reason this project didn't have any budget behind it.  But even tho I still find it hard to believe that its a fuckin CD-R with a damn sticker on top???  I wouldn't know, I purchased on ITunes.  

I'm sure after the good response this has received, its duly noted within the GV and MNE camps and they'll drop a bomb for the sophomore album.

I bought it straight from Twiztid-shop. It's definitely a CD-R With a sticker on the CD. This album is the shit! Might even be better than Life's Question ?'s.

Ninjas should know that Majik Ninja has already corrected this fuck up. (prolly should be a FLH news story?)

They have now got the album pressed up properly, and moving forward any ninja ordering the cd will get the corrected version.

Here is a fresh video from DC FaygoGuy detailing the differences between both versions, he just got the new one a few days ago -

On first listen through I was into it for the most part. But since then I haven't even thought about it again until I saw this thread. And now that I AM thinking about it...I can't remember a song besides for the one they put out before the album came out.

I spun the album a few more times and ot got a bit better, but is still very forgettable. I found myself enjoying the verses from G-Mo and Monoxide more than the rest of the album. Still pumped to see these guys live though and my GV shirt is fresh lol, but they're gonna have to change up the repetitive flows/sound.

I figured I'd dig up this thread to talk about "The Lost Tapes."  I got it and spun it a few times, so here are a few bullet points:

  • Went into it with the mentality that it would sound like a lackluster Ape-X.  It's pretty on point with Ape-X through most of it.
  • Of the 12 tracks, only one has a feature on it.
  • The majority of it sounds like Prozak rapping along side the child of Rittz and The Tasmanian Devil.  Which I dig.
  • You get to hear a ClockworC solo track.  I had wondered if he could carry a song by himself because of his rapping style. but it turns out that he can also sing.  So yes.
  • I liked 10/12 of the tracks.  Unfortunately the 2 I didn't care for are the first 2.

Top 3 tracks: "Fuck Shit Up," "Lie," and "Concrete Sea."

Bottom 3 tracks: "Cold Cold World" (very empty beat), "Hella White Tiger," and "Now and Forever ft. Rebecca Leon"

Now to explain further, "Hella White Tiger" is a good track, it's just that the intro of the instrumental gives me the urge to skip it.  "Now and Forever" is also a good track, but the hook sounds like someone paused the GV track and played a random song every minute or so.  Doesn't mesh with the verses at all.  And "Cold Cold World..." yeah, just didn't like it.

By thew way, here's Clock's solo track.  I was impressed:
