    ...is pretty god damn crazy. Listened to it about three times since it appeared on my iPod last night, really fresh and consistent production and vocals.

    Anyone else get a chance to check it out?

    Meant to pick this album up but haven't yet, I heard 'Gettin Up' and thought it was a good track.

    only arrived on my mp3 y'day but had a few listens and its a really good album. Lyrically its very good, great flow as usual, and the beats are nice. One thing that i think lets it down slightly (and i am being picky here!) are the generic rnb type choruses over the 1st half of the album, which in fairness pick up a bit later on.

    haven't listened to it yet.

    but i have re-found 'A Tribe'

    Thought the singing and hooks in general were excellent. Can't fault it much in anyway really.

    finally turned up on my ipod a few days go, and i can't fault anything bout the lp. beats are sick, rhymes and flow are what u'd expect from one of the games finest. one thing i really like bout this album is the huge lack of gangster bull****. even though Tip might be one of the best to touch a mic, its very easy to relate to his music. Movin is bananas but my fav cut its We Fight/Love with Rapheal Saadiq, Kamal's flow is sick! think i might actually go out and but this cd!

    Yeah I'll have to get it for my collection, along with Tronic. Two artists that absolutely completely deserve support.

    The 'portable mp3 device pixies' didn't do thier job for me so based on the recommendations here I picked it up yesterday.

    Very impressed with it, really nice to listen to. My one critique so far is the album artwork, a bit too 'futuristic'.

    I might even go as far to say that my missus might even like it :eek:

    BOOM

    Dancing on Glass is unbelievably good, great song. Also feeling We Fight/We Love but i think the hook repeats itself too much and drags the song on a bit too long.
