5 out of 5 stars a gem of a record.......2007-06-01

how good is this record? it has inspired me to write my first amazon review in close to 10 years...

if you long for "bizarre ryde to the pharcyde" energy & ingenuity, this record is for you. composition and production are top-notch...and abdominal's flow is true throwback b-boy - i forgot what it was like to laugh out loud at a well-delivered rhyme...

listenable front-to-back repeatedly, packed with fresh ideas...a sadly overlooked breath of fresh air and worth whatever you pay for it

5 out of 5 stars new old skool.......2005-05-03

the real gem as with most of formats albums and tunes, isn't the beats, the loops or grabs, but Abdominal. with lyrics that slip and slide with grace and amazing speed, hes the shining star on formats tracks. with a new buddy d-sisive (british), a new star is born. orginally a roadie for J5, many styles and influences have grown within formats albums. he brings new hope for a young generation. seriously just buy the album, drop the acts, u'll be bloody suprised, im open minded but this is party popin, back-seat banging fun at its best.
