BTNHResurrection[/u][/color]
(http://gs.cdnow.com/graphics/COVERART/local/L/25/87/00342587.jpg)
This is the latest album from the Rap quartet, bone thugs-N-Harmony. It was good to hear from them after a two year absence but the album was a huge dissapointment. It is as if the group has grown apart and changed. Hopefully their next album which is rumored to be called Thug World Order[/b] will be a 180 degree turn from this most recent record.
1. Show 'Em - This is a nice intro where Bizzy answers the question about Bone Thugs breaking up. This song has a nice beat that goes well with Bone's flow. Although there is nothing special that stands out with this song.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
2. The Righteous Ones - This song starts off with the female R&B group David's Daughters singing the hook. There angelic voices blend in perfectly with the dark party beat. To me this is a great song that brings back the memories of Bone in the past.
Rating: 4 out of 5
3. 2 Glocks - This song is one of the downfalls in the album. The beat is weak which already dooms the song from the start. Then the Bones flow just sound tired and lazy. They should of came off ruff with this song. Flesh livens up the song but it isn't enough.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
4. Battlezone - Right off the bat I must say this song is incredible. Bone come correct with their flow and delivery. Every member puts down a tight verse. This track definitely dsaves the entire first half of the album from disaster.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
5. Ecstasy - This song slows things down a bit. The beat is nice and Bone raps/sings well. On this track each Bone member tells their story of how Exstasy affected them. Overall this is one of the rare decent tracks.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
6. Murder One - One this song Bizzy does the hook with precision. This is a track I can bare listening through but not a high point in the album.
Rating: 3 out of 5
7. Souljahs Marching - This song starts off slow but blows up to a great, fast paced with a millitary feel to it.
Rating: 3 out of 5
8. Servin' tha Fiends - Every member comes correct on this one but Bizzy outshines the other members with his great verse in the beginning of this track. I was really feeling the beat to this song also. Flesh makes once again another apearence on this track but makes no impact.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
9. Resurrection (Paper, Paper) - This song has a nice peaceful tune. This has a touch of R&B in it. A very relaxing song which you can enjoy.
Rating: 4 out of 5
-
10. Can't Give It Up - This maybe one of the best tracks on this album. Krayzie's verse had a impact on the whole song in general. As usual Bizzy sings the chorus beautifully along with Layzie. Wish brings a rough edge to the track with his verse which fits in.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
11. Weed Song - Now this song should anger Bone Fans. It is, without a shadow of a doubt the sorriest Bone Thugs song ever. It is way too slow and does not fit there style. This should have not been released on this album. The whole album was getting better with each song but then this messed up the whole albums flow.
Rating: 2 out of 5 (and I'm being generous)
12. Change the World - This track is something I don't think Bone tried before. Fortunately, it was successful. Big B, who is signed to Bizzy's 7th Sign label, really makes this song special with the way he sings the hook. Wish's verse stands out on this track too.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
13. Don't Worry - All I can say is "What were they thinking?" Although this is much better than "Weed Song" it is another experimental song that went wrong. One good point about this track is the positive message. Other than that it does nothing but spoil the already tarnished record.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
14. Mind On Our Money - This is a decent track. Much better than the previous song. Krayzie and Layzie do a great job with their verses.
Rating: 3 out of 5
15. No Way Out - Things are looking up with this track. This is another one of the few highlight songs on this album. The R&B feel to it makes Bizzy vocals sound that much better. All of Bone have nice verses and hooks. This song builds up for this album to go out with a bang.
Rating: 4 out of 5
16. One Night Stand **BONUS TRACK**- This song from the first second you hear it you know its gonna be something special beat-wise. Bizzy definitely makes the save for this album by making this extra song. The hook, the verses are unbelievable. The sad thing is that it is a strictly Bizzy Bone song with no other Bone members. I personally think this track is what saved this entire album.
Rating: 5 out of 5
I don't know what happened on this album. It was a big letdown. I was anticipating a comback with this album. Wasn't that the entire theme of the record, "Bone Thug didn't break up, They are better than ever". I am sorry to say that the theme was not backed up to the proper extent. You are able to listen to this album and enjoy it for a little while. Then it quickly gets boring and you will move on to the next album. And if that ain't the truth then you can PROVE ME WRONG!
Overall Rating: 5.5 out of 10

[glow=color,strength,width]Atention[/glow] + can anyone tell me why bone has 2pac wriiten on the cover on the sand??[
-
Yeah I know that is kind of strange. Either they put it there or someone was so damn bored that they looked for it.
-
Damn i was feelin Battlezone, crazy beat and the first verse is hella tight, Bizzy rips it on this album, he really shines.
Peace
-
If it wasn't for Bizzy that album would be complete shit.
-
Damn!! >:( were the only ones postin in this forum.... we need to get more peeps up in here Assassin...,
-
Yeah we should get more people to post reviews too.
-
this albulm really sucks,,,the only ones i kind of like(tolerate)
WEED SONG
dont worry-best on the albulm
change the world
mind on money,,,,beat from their first albulm
ecstasy-horrible lyrics,,,catchy harmony an music
poor albulm,,,,they should all jus work as studio singers,,like backup vocals for other people.
-
I don't think they should be back up singers, they just need to stop trying all that new and slow shit cause it ain't working. They need to stick to those hardcore or R&B beats that made them so famous. All this experimantal stuff isn't gonna work.
-
i was joking about that,,,but i likied the slow songs on that albulm better than their others,,face it,,they r living the good life,,behind gates,,chillin,,plus they smokin that shit :o
-
i think this CD was aight... nothing special... maybe a 6.5 outta 10
Peace
-
it was thier fault,,,,it gets washed away,,,away?where
pac should have never been cool with them,,,think about it
-
I dont think this album is as bad as yall are making it out to be. True, it wasnt as good as their mastepieces E.1999 Eternal or Art Of War, but his is still a solid effort. Flesh DOMINATED this album. I think he outshined the rest of Bone here. The main problem with the album is the chemistry. It feels like they didnt make all the songs together, and harmony was lost. But 5.5/10 is a little harsh. I give it a 7/10.
-
Yeah you can tell they aren't in "harmony" as much as they used too. I still listen to this album often. Nuthin compared to their older albums for sure.
-
This is the worst album I own...Damn Bone fell off....
-
I ve been listening to this shit and it's a solid album. I dunno why there was so much hate. I should of given it at least a 6 or 6.5
My musical tastes have switched up this past year.
-
Brilliant album and imo there 2nd best group effort.
Flesh was a monster on this album
:D
-
here's the review I did awhile back on it.....
Bone Thugs N Harmony – BTNHResurrection
1. Show ‘em…Tight production to match Bone’s tight flow. Every member featured here to put down a nice verse. No hook, but none is needed. 4/5
2. The righteous ones…Unique beat. Verses match great to it. Bizzy puts down some rapid fire lines. David’s Daughter’s hook fits perfectly. 4.5/5
3. 2 glocks…Decent production, but nice flow and hook. 3.5/5
4. Battlezone…Perfect intro to the song with Bizzy and Krayzie singing. Smooth production and tight verses by Layzie, Bizzy and Krayzie’s two minute verse. 5/5
5. Ectasy…Hella smooth and tight production. Perfect hook. Each member speaks of their experiences with the drug. 5/5
6. Murder one…The beat is good and the lyrics are good. The chorus could have been a lot better. Krayzie would have sounded good on the track. 3.5/5
7. Souljah’s marching…The beginning part of the song sounds like the beat is going to be a lot better. Too uptempo. Still Bone puts it down with their rapid fire lyrics. 3.5/5
8. Servin’ tha fiends…Simple production. I’m really not feeling the lyrics. 3/5
9. Resurrection (Paper, paper)…Sounds like a Uneek produced song, but it’s not. Tight hook. Nice verses. 4/5
10. Can’t give it up…Dope song with a good message to it. Nice chorus and good lyrics. 4/5
11. Weed song…Very laidback song to match the lyrics. Production has a twist of 70’s flavor to it. 3.5/5
12. Change the world…The song has a good message, but I really don’t like this beat. Too fast and I don’t like Big B’s voice in the hook. 2.5/5
13. Don’t worry…Laidback beat. Members do more singing on this one than rapping. The hook gets repetitive though. 3.5/5
14. Mind on our money…I don’t really like the production on this track. Lyrically however, I like Krayzie’s verse explaining Bone’s come-up. 3.5/5
15. No way out…Nice beat. Good hook and decent lyrics. Krayzie absent from track. 3.5/5
16. One night stand…A Bizzy solo song. Tight R&B-ish production goes perfect with Bizzy’s mix of rap and R&B. 4.5/5
OVERALL…7.5/10
A solid album. Good songs are evenly distributed throughout the album with an average song here and there. Bone’s verses sound great, but the overall production doesn’t match their style the way it should. Even the songs that Uneek produced were barely average. Krayzie’s lack of appearance did not help the album much. Still, there are many tracks worth listening to over and over again.
-
I think I'm the only one that likes Change the World lol. One of the highlights of the album to me.
-
RIGHT NOW...
Im loving "Don't Worry", that track has some damn good lyrics...

I love this album and regard it as there 2nd best group album, theres only about 2 tracks on the entire album i don't like.
-

WORD - I First Heard The Song When I D/ld The Video (Which Is A Classic - Cant Beleive It Wasnt Released, Mustve Cost A Fortune) - And I Thought This Track Was Amazing, Bone Tried Something New And Pulled It Off Great, I Didnt Feel The Intro To The Beat And Then It Grew On Me...One Of My Fave Bone Cuts Now (That Chorus Is Kinda Chilling And Touching - A Reality Check...)
;)
*Oh And The Extra Verse (By Krayzie) On The Video Version is Good 2 ;)

damn rud, i didnt know you were even a bone fan at all, anyways word i love that krayzie verse on the video version, i have the song on mp3 with that extra verse if anyone wants it, IMO thats the best verse on there
-
I love this album and regard it as there 2nd best group album, theres only about 2 tracks on the entire album i don't like.
i dunno man my list goes somethin like this
1 Art of war
2 Creepin on a come up (this and E1999 always switch back and forth)
3 E1999 (read above)
4 Ressurection (even though this album is last, i still love it, so dont take this as a diss, it just shows how amazing bone is, their worst album is still great imo)
i wonder where Thug World Order will fit on that list
-
My list goes:
1. E. 1999 eternal (best CD ever)
2. Creepin' on ah come up
3. Art of War
4. Resurrection
....I'm thinkin' that Thug World Order will fit in the number 2 spot on my list...just a feeling...

I never even knew a video exsisted.
The Krayzie verse is dope too. I heard it on the remix.
-
I just downloaded the video and all I can say is WOAH. Beautiful. Kinda reminiscent of Crossroads but almost better. I can't believe it wasn't released. I love how they all were turned into children because Christ himself talked about how you must be like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven. The Bible verses near the end explained it all.
-
Change the World had a great vid, i just don't understand why it never was released.
Oh and i like krayzies verse on the remix of change the world (2nd best verse imo) but Flesh's verses was by far the best.
As for wish, that shit bastard just ruines good tracks he should just piss off.
>:(
Oh and my rankings..
1) E.Eternal
2) BTNHRESS
3) Aow
4) Creepin.
:D

ive been bumpin this nonstop lately, and god damn bone gave us a amazing album here, i can honestly say i feel every song on this album if im on the right mood, the only one i ususally dont feel unless im in the mood is the weed song...i dunno its just too.. :-/, if that wasnt on there i could just listen to this album all the way through without touchin the skip button everytime. its still dope as fuck though

i agree man, its been years since i got this album and i still bump this often. and if yall wonder why i like this so much its cause its a personal fav. i bumped this album during some of the best times of my life so it brings back good memories. and i remember it was exactly around this time of the year, 3 years ago, that i was bumpin this album on my trip.

This is a much tighter album than I gave it credit for when it came out, especially when I compare it to Thug World Order...Doggy, I feel ya on the good memories part....Whenever I bump E. 1999 it reminds me of one of the best times in my life (summer 1995).
BTW...where is the 2Pac in the sand on the cover? I don't see it :-\
-
This Album is bad mutha fuccin ass! its ummm a 4/5 Wish actually comes tight on this album! he shines ALOT, but on Battlezone tha last krayzie verse has to be tha best verse krayzie has ever done! im out!!!
P.S. i never keep my enemies close cuzz i got a perfect veiew of them up in my scope! :D
