Atmosphere classic - Hip Hop classic - BUY this disk. A must have for anyone who loves hip hop.
Classic - This is a classic and fabulous album. I own lots of Atmosphere, but this is the album that never gets old. It was the only CD in my almost-broken car stereo for most of last year and never got overplayed. I give copies of it to all of my friends curious about Atmosphere and no one has ever not loved it. The writing is brilliant and the beats are simple but funked up enough to always keep things interesting. If you like poetry via hip-hop beats you can t go wrong with this album.
Great album, best Atmosphere album I ve heard - This album is an exquisite example of Atmosphere s versatility, both as a writer and a rapper. Slug s lyrics are more than most of today s typical rap lyrics, he incorporates character development and imagery, building a story as well as a song. On such songs as Aspiring Sociopath and Woman With the Tattooed Hands, Atmosphere shows their ability to match the mood of the lyrics with a beat. Other songs, such as Guns and Cigarettes, show Slug s versatility, as his lyrics go from self-loathing to mockery, then to character development. Some songs on the album weren t worthwhile for me, and I found myself skipping through them. Don t Ever F------ Question That, Tears For The Sheep, and If I Was Santa Claus tarnish the otherwise impeccable album. The Lucy Ford EPs is a must-have album for anybody who appreciates good music.
Not their best - I love Atmosphere alot and all of their work including this album. I just dont think its their best LP out there. I still give it 4 stars but i dont think it can hold a candle to Godlovesugly or Overcast. I would recommend this album to anybody anytime but if you are new to Atmosphere i would recommend picking up the albums i named first and get a feel to what kind of style and rhymes they kick. If you like it pick this one up.Once again im not hating on this album or saying its bad its just not thir best LP
Dope - W. Holliday R.E.D.D. doesn t know what he s talkin about. I am a fan of older slug when he was with spawn. this album is right up there with his older stuff (headshots, overcast, dynospectrum, and felt). the production & lyrics are both dope.
