Title: Xzibit- Full Circle Appreciation Thread
Post by: d-nice on October 17, 2006, 02:34:07 PM
Just picked up the album and I have given it a listen all the way through and the shit is dope to me. It is more uptempo than WOMD and personal also. The beats were better than I thought but they could have been better. Favorite tracks: Scandalous Bitches, Rampart Division, Say It To My Face, man pretty much the whole album. Like I said, more uptempo than his last 2, but I think it is definitely better than MVM and a little bit better than WOMD so for me it is his 4th best. Definitely go out and support this you won't be disappointed. Good to hear King Tee and X linking back up. And Quik sounded fly as hell too. West West yall. Feel free to drop thoughts.

it's cool, but to be honest it doesn't have great replay value

to me lots of the tracks sound the same

it's kinda boring in a way, but don't get me wrong I'm not putting it down

there are a few tracks with good replay value, but again it's got a boring feel to it

"Restless" and "Man vs. Machine" are really great, I play them all the time, and the sound quality is tons better

but that's obvious because of the mixing etc.

this album isn't colorful enough, doesn't have that bounce to it

Yeah Dre did his thing on mixing those 2. This one sounds more stripped down with alot of the drums and baselines, but the quality tracks on here are top notch.

on the way to work yesterday I played the cd  (45 min. drive)

Yeah I listened to most of it in my car. Movin In Ya Chucks is obviously not a favorite on this forum but the baseline in my car was sick. So was the remix to Rollin. It is starting to grow on me the more I listen to it.

Did it come w/ the 3 bonus tracks?  Best Buy advertises it in their ad, but Circuit City doesn't.

that's one of the best tracks... I did take Kurupt out of my version tho, which makes it 10x more enjoyable

the second cd, with the three bonus tracks, is stamped "available exclusively from best buy."

1. concentrate - san quinn remix
2. rollin west sdie remix
3. a minute to pray

it is the same situation with hi-tek's album; you get a bonus dvd and three extra tracks when you pick it up at best buy.  they are also running the special on-line, each album is 9.99 with free shipping.

I don't know. I got my copy today and finally heard the album in its entirety for the first time, so I can't really say yet. But what I can already say is that its nothing outstanding. I was disappointed with some songs, like "Ram Part Division" (especially Quiks beat). The good thing about the song is that it's something different, but it has absolutely no replay value. And that's probably gonna be the problem with the rest of the songs, cause I can play them all today, but who knows about next week or next month. There's something missing on the album, like a off-the-chain-song that makes me wanna have it on repeat. It's not Xzibit's fault cause he came off dope most of the time (flow and content wise), but some of the beats seem out of place.

I agree, I always loved Xzibit but I really don't feel the beats on this album. Production on WOMD was 100x better!

WOMD also had a waaay more cohesive sound to it, as well.  And better structure.

Well, sorry to say it, but this is why you should never assume that an artist being out of the majors is a good thing - production quality is almost definitely gonna be lowered, and the album as a whole gon sound less polished.

That said, I kinda liked this album - it's better than I thought it would be, just a far cry from "Restless".

Everything he does from here on out, we will be saying the same thing...No way will he ever be able to match restless...I think his lyrics are very on point all cd, but im not crazy about the beats...
Title: Re: Xzibit- Full Circle Appreciation Thread
Post by: d-nice on October 17, 2006, 10:32:40 PM
Restless had Dre input all over it. So yeah it is going to be tough to top that considering what Dre has done with him in the past. I will agree after listening to it a second time that WOMD is a little bit better than Full Circle. But that is not to say that Full Circle is not a good album.

wow I was pretty much going to say the same.  I have it on my comp and Ive gone through it entirely a couple of times and I want to listen again but as I do it just has a bit of a boring feel to it.  no classic tracks on the album and a couple of fillers.  solid album, X could do better though

Damn...Full Circle is wayyyy better than WOMD......Lyrics were dope and on point, Production was dope....Jelly Rolls beats are cool, just not his best. The weak link of this album are tha dogg pound tracks...but not so much thir fault.......Say it to my face would be doper if Kurupt spit a verse, On bail has terrible production, and T-pain shitty hook, but Daz outshined everyone with his verse..lol....and movin in my chucks....Too Short spoils it like he does most tracks these days and Kurupt didn't do no better...

But Ram Part division, Invade my space, scandelous bitch, concerntrate, rollin, Poppin off and thank you are all cool.

Worthy album...

Sorry, I guess im not really feeling it.  I liked 40 days and Restless.  But everything else is kinda suspect.  Im a fan of Jellyrolls beats and all, but seems like he saves some crazy experimental space shit for X.

Yeah he has a very unique style. I listened to WOMD all this week and I am really not understanding why people did not like that album. It is better than Full Circle. So I change my mind but I still think Full Circle is a dope album.
