Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Cypress Hill is either hip-hop's most secretly talented band or its luckiest. How else do you explain four albums--Cypress Hill, Black Sunday, III (Temple of Boom), and now IV--over seven years that all use the same rote formula? DJ Muggs hooks up the dusty dungeon beats, filled with slow, rolling bass lines and dirtied drum breaks. B-Real revs up his nasal flow and spins yarns about (a) why police suck, (b) why Cypress can't be screwed with, and (c) marijuana, marijuana, marijuana. Did we mention that they talk a lot about weed? IV offers no new surprises, but Cypress faithful won't be disappointed. --Oliver Wang

The Source
After sitting out most of 1995's Temple of Boom LP and the inaugural Smokin' Grooves tour, Sen Dog's renewed partnership with B-Real allows the pair to once again stick, move and jab off each other in ways that remain as thrilling as ever.

Customer Reviews:

Cypress Hill at their best.......2007-04-16

Although this is not as good as 'III: Temples of Boom', it's still Cypress Hill's second best album. The subject matter remains the same as always (weed, women, etc.), but this time is has a whole new unique feeling that put s this one way above their earliest efforts ('Cypress Hill' and 'Black Sunday'). If not for their legendary third album, this one would get talked about more. Also, 'IV' is the last time they used their classic style before modernizing the formula with 2000's (also worth-owning) 'Skull & Bones', which received mixed reviews. Some liked the changes, others hated it (I personally think it's boring if they keep doing the same style over and over. It just gets old and you go nowhere as an artist, creativity-wise). 'IV' is ill, so run out and get it now. I would definitely recommend checking out 'III: Temples of Boom' first though, and then either 'Stoned Raiders' or 'Skull & Bones' (so you can get a little feel for their newer sound as well). Lates.

Illest tracks: From The Window Of My Room, Riot Starter, Tequila Sunrise, 16 Men Till There's No Men Left... actually, nearly every track is stellar.

Cypress at there strongest.......2007-03-12

Before my review I would like to ask what has happened to Cypress Hill? They seem to have vanished of the face of the earth? I know Muggs did a record with RZA but where did B Real, Sen and Bobo go? anyhow this record is one of their best I actually think it was better then the dark paranoid predecessor Temples Of Boom. It certainly alot better then the three follow ups which saw them getting worse and worse each time, which is a shame since they started of so well with their fantastic debut and of course the classic Black Sunday. Temples of Boom was abit repetative and too moody for its own good although its still stands today as a good record.

Cypress Hill 4 could quite well be their strongest album to date it has intelligent creative lyrics,a strong producton and humour something thats missing from modern day rap.

The first track Looking Through The Eye Of A Pig is perhaps one of best if not the best Hip Hop song ever written. Its manages to be amusing and yet rather tragic at the same time about the troubled rather sad life of a Los Angeles Police officer who turns out to be just as bad as the criminals and scum he deals with, a superb, brilliantly written song unquestionably the best song on the album.

Dr Greenthumb is another highlight on the album very funny song the title give the story away but its a great song and like with LTTEOAP sees B Real rapping under a character more tongue in cheek a very funny song.

Lightning Strikes is the start of there rock/ Rap phase and out of all of the rockish material this is the best. Great riff and some raw uncompromising vocal delivery from B and Sen.

God how i wish they caried on making records like this, it wouldn't have done their carrer any harm but unfortunatly they went all Nu Metally on us and it kinda ruined them. I only hope they rekindle the magic that they had and make another strong album like this if there still around where are they now?

Last of the Great cypress hill albums.......2006-05-19

This was the last of the great Cypress Hill albums. B-Real has a wicked tounge never get tired of listening to it.

Never Gets Old.......2006-01-14

Cypress Hill does it again with this album. It's one of those rare cds that you can just put in the player and let it play without jumping to the one or two good songs. A absolute must-have for any Hill fans.

Leave it to the Hill to keep it real.......2005-10-16

First off lemmi start off by saying this is a good album over all but not as good as the Hills Masterpiece "Temples of Boom" but don't let that stop you from buying it(it sure as hell is better then there next 3 albums). Just like there other albums this is chuckfull of stand out tracks such as "Eyes of the Pig" and "Lighting Strikes". Not the Hills Best but is still a superb CH album.

4.8/5 stars
