Comment: - Been a Swollen supporter for a decade now, & was really lookin' forward to a new album from the guys. Thought they would just naturally kill it...but idk what went soo wrong from every angle. The only smashin' track is Red Dragon & it's a track from Monsters in the Closet...wtf, why?!
- I'm all for artists progressing & switchin' it up, but I don't enjoy the newish style on them. I mean, I'm not even feelin' Rob's production like I alwaays have...that says a lot. Sadly, It wasn't even worth adding to my collection. oh yeah, & Tre Nyce is a freaking JOKE!!!! All he has is a pocket full of luck...& it neeeeds to run out Fast. |

Comment: This album is not for real hip hop heads appreciating innovative art. Note how the people rating it also show a lack in vocabulary and promote violence and their from Canada? WTF?? Poor production, weak lyrical content and considering the wealth of talent out there where the hell did Tre Nyce and Young Kazh come from, they SUCK, no flow and terrible deliver, nothing to say, nothing inspiring whatsoever. WACK. So dissapointed! |

Comment: I think way to many people took way to much time out there lives to hate, this aint about Canada and US hate, if u wanna hate dont hate over the net, fake thugs. Anyways album wasn't too bad, I like it, not as good as past shit but has some bangers, gotta represent for the Kingsway bandits. And just for some knowlege for the US people talkin about guns. Just cuz you can't buy much guns legaly here, unless for gun range or hunting, dont mean alot of shit aint commin off the docks.

Comment: I think a lot of people are being a little harsh on this album. It's not COMPLETE trash. There are a few good tracks,Meltdown,Kyla,Concerto,
and a few others are not bad at all and sound like there old shit.NOW...the track, Real PI, for example..is a fucking embarrassment to everything that was and is.. left of real HipHop.Wtf were they thinking? That shit is straight up everything I hate...Do yourself a favor SM's, lose your jiggy little friend Tre Nyce and anyone else that tries to change your sound to "whats hot now"...I understand wanting to get payed but that's just a big fuck you,..not just to your real fans but Hiphop as a dieing culture as well. On that note, you eat a dick for that shit, 3/5 stars. |

Comment: I agree that this isn't the regular Swollen we're all used to. I've been listening to them since the beginning, and I have so much respect. They have had some amazing stuff, and some not so great stuff. Some of the tracks on this cd are actually quite good, but yeah, some of them are completely ridiculous, with the auto tune and lyrics I never thought I'd hear from them. But what's with the bashing? These guys are still absolutely amazing, always throwing it down, and they give an unbelievable live show. Maybe this isn't the same as what we love on Balance and Bad Dreams, but things change people. They made something different, doesn't mean they aren't talented. This definitely isn't my favourite album, but I've supported Swollen from the beginning and I'm not going to stop because of a few bad tracks.

Instead I am treated to Autotone! and them claiming their pimps and spending g's on rides? what the fluck, I had to check the cover twice. There are couple tracks which are tight the others I gave a few tries to listen to but I can do it, I might as well listen to the radio. |

Comment: I have been listening to Swollen since day one and have every album release and most 12"s. They have crazy talent, that is without doubt and certainly know their business. BUT this release is absolutely awful!!! They are either (a) trying to hard to push the boundaries and have lost focus (b) caught up in a style and delivery that is simply damn right shockingly crap. Its hard to listen to Prevail and Madchild delivering such limited lyrics with awkward flows when I know damn well they have skills to rip tracks apart. As for the production, I rate it on the same level, poor, unimaginative and lacking creativity. This is a serious 'loss of focus' album and is not due to me un-accustomed to change. My whole crew and I have been down with these boys through thick and thin (Heavy was shite also). It really doesn't help having the appallingly weak duo Tre Nyce and Young Kahz so much, to think Madchild started with such ill collaborations i.e. Q Bert and now who the f'k are these 2? What happened to the misguided angel in 'Strength' and prevail busting about readin literature to improve his verses? Wasted! This album and their delivery to me is the same as what all the current wack rappers are doing now. Swollen, sort it out and gate back on track!!!!! Terrible! |

Comment: strange, some tracks are true true S&M, others are true sh*t. as most have said if Porn Star, Bollywood, and Real PI were left on the cutting room floor I would give it the full 5. and dude...autotune!? isnt that the complete antithesis of what these guys stand for. Trey isnt horrible when he spits(better than most of the rhymers out now at least) but im not feeling that Auto tune and pimp stuff. worth a buy and I am eager to see what happens next. Heavy Metal was an odd one and then Black Magic killed it so maybe we're in for some fire |

Comment: Surprisingly, It wasn't as bad as I thought. Compared to other wack albums that had been released. There were only 4 skippable tracks. Porn Star, Bollywood Chick (only listened to it cuz it had Tech N9ne), Flyest & Real P.I. it's a good album tho I understand why people don't like it.
BTW fuck you Jason Vorhees, we got Grych, D. Black, Common Market, Dyme Def, Blue Scholars, Jake One, Vitamin D and a whole lot of talented artist. |

Comment: First off I love Swollen Members music. I have been listening since Balance and have purchased every album they put out. Everyone has been great but I'm not sure what happened here? They have auto-tune choruses and rap about $300k whips? Their new pals they bring along do nothing but bring down the album. Plus Red Dragon is like 7 years old, why is it on here? This is not the Swollen Members true fans are used to. I think they tried to make a "commerical" sounding album mixed with way too much of a rock/metal sound (which can be awesome but sounds forced on this record). I am very disappointed & hope this was just a misstep and their next effort will be back on track. Sorry guys put this is a major fail! |

Black magic was one of my favorite cds of all time and I am pretty disappointed that this came after it. They should stick to the core of prevail madchild and rob the viking. Real P.I. is a horrible song. tre nyce sounds like lil wayne and that disturbs. lets make the next one as good as all the others Swollen! |

I know what swollens about and I know that if their unique (which i've loved for years now) style were to change I will get down with it like I did cage's new one. it's hip hop it's soul music, REAL people cross (english) :) borders with this shit. it don't matter all that matters is that it got soul.

Comment: just cuz some amaricans are closed-mindend and ignorant to anyone taking america's hiphop culture and ADVANCING THE INTELLIGENCE LEVEL OF THE MUSICAL MASTERY to futuristically infinite levels, DOESN'T mean canadian hiphop groups suck, or that we need american acceptance. THESE GUYS ARE SUPERSMART. better than most american groups.
i know prevail and madchild personally and they are all about business/lyrics and culture. not money and record sales
Canada has smarter people, but less of a population and less weapons of death/less money. BUT MORE SPIRITUAL ARTISTIC SKILLS AND MIND SCIENCE.
so say what "y'all"....someone will take america out of having THE BEST hiphop, one day.
and it'll probably be us. CANADA
['america jr' -like homer simpson says]
I BET IF CANADA HAD NUKES AND HAD A BIGGER ARMY THAN AMERICA, THEY WOULD SAY WE GOT BETTER HIPHOP IN CANADA. you silly americans only know VIOLENCE and STUPIDITY. if we're not pointing guns in your face, we're bad musically. uh... here's a tip-LIFE IS BEYOND MURDER, HATE AND DEATH, eh?..... but desensitized to knowledge and love would make your country the way it is [doomed to self-destruct....like 50cent's new album] |

If you have never heard of swollen members you are probably 12 years old or don't really listen to hip hop. other names on their abums include IRISCIENCE, PLANET ASIA, BUC FIFTY, SAUKRATES, MOKA ONLY, DJ VADIM, DJ BABU, ABSTRACT RUDE. if you have never heard of these people you don't know shit about anything. oh did I mention that the 2 mcees in swollen members are super tight? hey maybe this album might suck but don't go judging shit you don't know about like hip hop if you don't know anything about it. stick to your mtv music |
