Let Me Rip It To A Slow Jam (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5.0 stars).......2007-07-17
Riders Of The Storm: The Underwater Album, is one of the best of '94, and more than likely it was slept on. And the fact that it's out of print, makes it difficult for it to be accessed. If you can find this under $30, go ahead and grab it. This album will remind you why you love hip hop so much. Peace!!

Imaginative and refreshing........2007-05-20
Obviously with the Internet allowing very easy accessibilty to all music, I checked out the whole album over a year ago and did not hesitate to buy a copy. It is one of the more complex, creative and dynamic albums, which at first is almost too overwhelming to take in straight away, due to it's vast content both lyrically, and musically. Each track sets a different theme, and creates a completely different, atmospheric listen.
Throughout the album I was very impressed by the amount of hard work that had gone into this album, especialy the depth and diversity of the beats, which incorporate so many different styles and then blending them to suit the theme of the track. The vocal deliveries and many styles of flow, both slow deep and dark to more contemporary for that era, are also still ahead in content and concept to the usual attempt of being original.
'Old man Jacob's well, is brilliant lyrically, also an excellently produced track, similar in theme to 'mark of the beast', the darkest track here, but thought provoking and so intricate in it's arrangement that it just doesn't ever get boring. This is why this album will survive the test of time and stand out amongst thousands of others.
Each track has it's own sound and mood, and influences of many other genres of music are all carefully weeved in to create a very slept on album from 1995.
It's a nice refection of ying and yang throughout, nice vibes and relaxed deliveries which flow smooth over the more jazzier of the beats, to the other end of the scale.
If you like your hip hop deep, moody, funky, spirital, atmospheric, and most of all underground and experimental, then this is for you.
I'M NO HYPOCRATE!!!.......2006-09-22
I AM ALSO NOT SAYING THAT THIS RAP GROUP WAS THERE, BUT THEY TELL YOU THESE STORIES OF WORSHIP, WITHOUT BEING PREACHY, AND IN YOUR FACE, ABOUT MODERN DAY PROBLEMS. THEY USE TODAY'S STRIFE AS PROPHECIES, AND CAN BACK IT UP WITH REAL LIFE EVIDENCE.
TO NEGLECT WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN; IS BAD, AND I, NOR THE GROUP ARE CONDONING THAT, THEY USE THEIR WAY OF CONVICTION, BY CONSCIOUS SELF REVELATION, AND A MICROPHONE. THERE IS NO NEED TO GO SIT WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS IN CHURCH TO HEAR SOMEONE RECITE PASSAGES OF TEXT, WRITTEN, AND RE-WRITTEN 100'S OF TIMES OVER, WORRYING ABOUT WHO ELSE BELIEVES. NO, WE HAVE TO HEAR OUR INNER-SELF OUT, AND TAKE FOR OUR OWN PERSONAL WEALTH, BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS TELLING US WHAT TO BELIEVE.
THANKS TO THIS GROUP FOR OPENING UP MY EYES, AND REALIZING THAT CHURCH IS JUST ONE WAY OF RELIEVING YOUR MIND, THE REST IS UP TO YOU.
RECOGNIZED THRESHOLDS OF NEGATIVE STRESS - IS THE TRUE SONG HERE, OF SELF MOTIVATION
PEACE
can i rate this a 10?.......2006-07-09

yeah, no one here is lying.. this album is the $#!T
and is on my list of all time classics!
the fact that yodared and myntric left for ?religious reasons
baffles me, cuz they coulda done that on follow ups,
and i woulda still followed as long as it was delivered properly.
anyway, enuff of that bitching & moaning..
let's get back to the perpetual freshness that is at hand.
at the time, everything that these guys were about, i understood..
they spoke to me, much like de la soul did in '89.
besides the beats & lyrics and fashions & trends and videos,
the CONCEPTs behind their name & album title spoke volumes TO ME!
boogiemonsters cuz they were rap-monsters from the boogie down bronx.
ahhh.. BRONX BOMBAS.. what a perfect song..
one verse.. nice lengthy intro, and an even longer outro,
and it was perfect.. all under 3.5 minutes.
and while the UNDERGROUND was buzzing with all types of niceness,
dudes took it to the next level and went underWATER.
remember STRANGE?
"..see seventy percent of the world's underwater
seventy percent of your body's underwater
seventy percent of what we live is out of range
we re-arrange disorder, but niggas say we strange.."
and the RIDERS OF THE STORM reference to the doors..
nevermind that the word RIDER wasn't being used by rappers, yet!
man, i miss these guys tremendously.
unfortunately, i wasn't this crazy with the sophomore jinx.
god sound just wasn't as engaging as a whole to me.
but who cares cuz this fixes everything!
there's only a gang of (rap) albums that i can listen to
straight thru ALL THE TIME with no skipping, and this is one of 'em.
even top-of-the-line emcees don't (always) have great complete albums..
go cop it. it's a must.
