I’m replying late, but there’s a reason for it: I’m celebrating getting the CD in the mail! I downloaded it first and only had to listen to it once to know there was no way around this. Definitely one of 2009′s best. Although I was wondering where Blu was at first (didn’t know he was exclusively producin), I feel Sene held it down nicely on his own, he’s definitely got a voice of his own, not a “voice” in terms of sound but in terms of poetic voice, as in his vision of things. Also, I dig Blu’s production, it’s got an odd kind of rushed or half-assed feel to it but it all pulls together nicely and the grooves are deep

Co-sign Admbmb, this is a little too over-hyped. There’s a few joints though.

good stuff Jon. I wanna give you writer feedback but Kev won’t give me your email because he thinks I’ll bite

Good stuff though, I too, found myself playing this a few times to see “what the fuss was about.” The lyricism is a strength, and the production really is a more-you-listen-the-more-you-like type of sound

Not bad. I prefer Blu on the mic than behind the boards. Sene doesn’t really grab me as a listener.

Not feeling Blu’s production (though I love Blu as a lyricist) and Sene puts me to sleep. 88/100 seems pretty generous, imo. The beats are kind of chaotic and sound like a poor attempt to perpetrate Exile. I’ve heard a lot of Blu’s beats and he seems to be progressing/growing. Blu, please go make the follow-up to BTH.

Well i loved the album. its refreshing. but it did take a little time to grow on me, so it may be the same for some of you as well. @C-Villain- yea i was thinking the same thing, its album of the year nominee in my eyes im still on this album. i still gotta give Fahsawn the nod though

Great write up Jon. I’ll have to give this another listen cause I found myself bored with it. Off the strength of the review….another listen or two is in order.

I grabbed it off the strength of Blu’s mention alone, as well. I had downloaded the SeNe & Sucio Smash Mixtape a few weeks ago as well, and a few EP tracks I had with Blu & SeNe from prior sessions were pretty dope too. Good disc, definitely. I’ll have to give it another round though with that rating – I didn’t enjoy it THAT much but it was a good purchase.
