My Favorite Albums Part Three

Just when you thought it was done, it's time for....


2FR's FAVORITE ALBUMS!




It's sort of funny when you think about the sound of this album. On the single from the last one, a member said "the days of the breaks are just about over." I think of this album as the end of the "breaks age" and I have a feeling that was the intent. Bringing that style of sampling to 1996, a year when it wasn't really used as often (I'm talking about drum breaks by the way) truly made it different from any other album that was out at the time. Shout out to Tim Latham for the mixdown. The group comes lyrically more in depth than they probably ever had, and maybe until this point, ever would've. These guys were just about 2nd from tribe as my favorite group until this came out...Now they get #2 behind the roots haha.



I mean, what is there that I have to say? The "Bad Boy" parody was spot on...and still a good song haha, and aside from that, the theme runs all the way through the album so subtlely unlike many other groups who sound like they're trying too hard. It's just an overlooked masterpiece.
