This album is fuckin crazy! hi-tek has been really hit and miss of late. but he was obviously saving everything for this album! that strangers beat is fuckin sweet.
Need i say anything about talib? always brings the heat with the lyrics and is probably THE most underated mc of all time.

I told y'all a while ago this is a very good album.
-
Dope album, but I can't help to think that the 3-4 freshest tracks has been out for months..
I also have a feeling that this album will be a grower. 8)
-
I got half way through and kind of lost interest. I'll peep the second half later.
-
This album is quality for sure and its very fresh. More u bump it more u like it.
Playing " Got Work" on repeat, sub-woofer makin neighbors go mad :)
-
straight up quality here 8)
-
Lovin' it. "In This World" is still my fav. one (even though it's been out for a while). Nice vibe throughout the whole album.
-
So I'm the only who thinks that Hi-Tek was really weak on this one ? His beats are very bland, without any bounce or funk, especially compared to the first album. I only liked 5 or 6 beats. Ballad Of The Black Gold is amazing though, that's the type of stuff I expected.
-
this is even more mellow than your average hi-tek material, but perfect for chilling and having on in the background.
think my favourite is still the original hi-teknology.

Train of Thought >> Revolutions Per Minute

After some listens I will have to agree.. not plain weak, but hit or miss..
I expected some more bangers, I don't mind a smooth mellow beat, but some of these tracks are just understated/underproduced..
I had to remove the annoying intro for "Midnight Hour" and also the geek at the end.. track is 10 times better now.

Fav track: Ballad of the Black Gold
BTW, THEY WILL BE TOURING CANADA, PEEP THE DATES (STARTS END OF MAY): http://thatsludicrous.tumblr.com/post/622750597/reflection-eternal-canadian-tour-dates

Copped it hard copy and I like the album. Definitely a good album.
-
I blind bought it yesterday and been bumping it in my truck and I have to say this is what hip-hop should be. I love this record.
-
I'm going to hold off on this album as long as possible. We've had no good new albums released in a long time, and now we get 2 on the same day. So for now just bumping Nas and Marley but I'm reading everyone's reviews

I already saw them last summer at rock the bells, pretty dope show.
-
So far, this is album of the year for me.

Great album. Can't really say it's better than Train of Thought. Two completely different styles and a decade apart. The one thing I did notice though is that the sound quality/mixing/whatever you want to call it is much improved. You can really tell that Hi-Tek has picked up some studio knowledge from being at Aftermath under Dre's mentoring. I can see a little Aftermath influence (maybe Detox submissions?) in tracks like "Get Work", "Lifting Off", "Ballad Of The Black Gold", "Long Hot Summer", "My Life (Outro)". Lifting Off really has a 50 Cent vibe to it, could easily fit on GRODT or The Massacre (similar to Ryder Music)
Just to be clear, I'm not saying they were beats rejected by Dre for use on Detox. But, given that Dre was going for a certain symphonic, rich sound for Detox (based on the years worth of articles & rumors), these few tracks have a vibe and multi-layered musical presence that indicate that Hi-Tek may have been working on these with Detox in mind.
