Solid Album.......2007-07-30
I became a fan when the BLACKOUT cd came out, but have never liked every song on any of Hed P.E. cd's. Generally, I like 3 or 4 songs and would rate their cd's as a 3. "Bartender" was the only track I liked on the BROKE cd. I say this, not to down Hed P.E., but to emphasize that this cd is much better than any of their previous work in my opinion. The sound on ONLY IN AMERIKA and BACK 2 BASE X are brought together on this cd. To me, until this release, these were their best 2 efforts in spite of ONLY IN AMERIKA seeming like a bunch of kids acting out.
My favorite tracks on here include; Game Over, Suffa (which I first heard on XM radio or would not have even known of this release), Coming 2 Get U and the cover of Children. Unlike their previous cd's all the tracks are very listenable and overall, this is a pretty damn good cd.
Wow...what are they doing?.......2007-07-24
After Back 2 Base X I thought Hep PE was back and here to stay. I was happy that Subnoize had picked them up and improved them from Only in Amerika, which was only an OK album. Broke had been my favorite up until Back 2 Base X. Blackout was terrible, and I feel the same about Insomnia. The lyrics are horrible and make no sense. Only 3 songs are good and the rest are pure garbage. I hope the next release is like Back 2 Base X. Hed PE knew that Only in Amerika was sub par and thats why the last album was called Back 2 Base X. They were getting back to their roots and doing music the way they used to. Now, Insomnia sounds like Only in Amerika, just without the over use of the "F" word. The only songs that saved my review from a 1 star rating are Comeova2nite, Children, and Don't Let Me Down.The rest on the album is pure garbage. I'm sorry Hed PE, but get back to the days of Broke and Back 2 Base X. Seriously, If your exploring new music, Hed PE is an awesome band, just don't pick up this album for an intro. Go with Broke or Back 2 Base X.
amazing effort from the underground.......2007-07-19
As a long time fan of Hed pe's music from there first album "Church of Realities," and from seeing them live for the first time in 1998 opening for Soulfly in Chicago,this band has never gotten the credit or recognition they deserve. Their latest album "Insomnia" blew me away the first time I listened to it. This band continues to reinvent themselves in a way that they stay true to their fan base as well as keepin it real from when they formed in the early to mid 90's. From all the cross-over rap/rock/hop-hop/metal, this band has been the most unique from the start. It is rare these days to find a band such as Hed pe that continues to fuse different styles of music into one entity and can actually pull it off. Most people do not know that Hed pe paved the way for a lot of the corporate MTV B.S bands.
From heavy guitar riffs of the song "Walk on By" to the punk rock sound of "Habeus" to the Tu-Pac-esque vibe of the hip-hop sound on "comeova2nite" any open minded musician or fan of different styles of music from metal to punk to hip-hop to reggae should appreciate the latest effort of Hed pe's Insomnia. Go out and pick up a cd today.

Good, But Not Great.......2007-07-19
Now I may be in the minority here, but i thought the past two releases by (hed) pe were great albums, possibly the best of their careers. and i was hoping on having it continue on this way with their new release "Insomnia." were my hopes fulfilled? Both yes and no. there are some great songs on here, but there are others that are just completely disappointing.
With the good parts: Walk on By is a killer song, no doubt about it. Possibly one of the best of their careers. Game Over is also a great one, more remniscent of an "Only In Amerika" song than anything else found on here. Suffa is good, although maybe not the best choice for a lead single. it reminds me of Get Ready off "Back 2 Base X", a good song but not the best choice to hear what HED is really about. Comeova2nite is the straightforward rap song on the cd, and Jahred lays it down smoothly. RTO is a pretty satisfying listen. good lyrics, and a good appearance by Big B accompany it very well. I love Children, i find it to be a great cover of the Buffalo Springfield Classic. Tienanman Squared is another good one, and Don't Let Me Down would fit perfectly aside anything from "Back 2 Base X".
Now the not so good: Not a big fan of Habeus. His singing in this song, not his screaming, is what ruins it for me. Just doesn't sound like him, like he's trying too hard to sing. C2GU is decent, just nothing truly memorable. Same thing Goes For Atlantis A.D. One song i'm just confused about is Mirrorballin. It's an interesting listen, it's just too stupid to actually be a good song. And the biggest disappointment of the whole cd was Wind Me Up. I'm a big fan of KMK and (hed) pe, but the two together didn't work well whatsoever. Tech N9ne didn't do anything for me on the song either.
So Summary: good cd, mostly good songs on it, with a few stinkers. (hed) pe should stick with what they do best, and leave the guests on the backburner.
Mr Hip Hop, Mr Punk Rock........2007-07-19
Before I get into my review, I just have to say (hed) pe is without a doubt my favorite band. I have yet to write a review of a (hed) pe album just because I was afraid it would be a biast view. After several listens to "Insomnia" I think I can provide a fair, yet great assesment of the bands 6th full lenght album.
(hed) pe has been around a looong while now, with 6 full length albums, one "best of" album, and an EP over the span of around 12 years. While "Insomnia" is ONE of their best works, still does not top 2000's "Broke" or their funky fresh 97 self-titled release. (I do highly urge for new listeners to pick up both albums, you will not be dissapointed)
First listen through "Insomnia" might have listeners thinking "What the F?!?!" While this album is easily the most diverse of their career, fusing together almost ever style of music imaginable. And yes, (hed) pe can do this, masterfully. It's like an album to sum up all of their previous albums, and putting every phase they went through on one amazing disc.
The intro "Madhouse" is easily one of (hed)'s darkest, heaviest sounding tracks, and it's a shame its only an intro. Metal fans will love the creepy feeling it provides. "Walk on By" is a tribute to the older sound of the band, having lead vocalist Jared screaming, singing, and shout rapping at his finest. "Game Over" is a punk/metal/rap track, and great flows by Jah. "Suffa" is the first single, and rightly so, very fast, angry song with some of the best lyrics on the disc. "Comeova2nite" is straight up hip-hop, and Jared is in top form on the track, some of the gunshot samples make it seem a little to mainstream G-unit sounding, but (hed) pe is about the only band in the world that could pull it off. "RTO" is another fusion of rap and punk, and is awesome. "Tienaman Squared" is straight up in your face punk, and has great lyrics. The last 4 songs of the album are all very solid and each is of different style. "Atlantis A.D." could be one of (hed) pe's most solid tracks of recent memory. Great instrumentals, while drummer Devin (replaced by Tiny) puts a great hip-hop beat to the other wise very hard track, and again Jared's flow is on top of it.
Now the reason's it didn't get the glorious 5 star review. "Habeus", while not a bad song, shows no evolution from their previous effort "Back 2 Base X". It really sounds like it could have been copied and pasted from B2BX to this album, a very forgetable track on "Insomnia". And maybe the worst song (hed) has ever done, "Mirrorballin" is just ridiculous...enough said.
Like I said, "Insomnia" is not their best, but definatly a great relief to see (hed) pe back in top form. The album shouldn't dissapoint long time fans, and also if you have an open mind on what style of music you like, give this a spin, very experimental and original. The choruses of the songs have left me singing them in my hed all day long since I first heard it, and it will have you singing them too.

Album Description
Mondo Generator was originally formed by Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss) in 1997. Recorded by Producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, System Of A Down) at Dave Grohl's Studio 606, Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails picks up exactly where the group left off: creating thunderous, raw rock 'n' roll. The album takes the listener on a sonic journey that steamrolls through musical boundaries. The band is co-headlining the second stage at Ozzfest 2007.

Nick on his own.......2007-07-30
Reviews I see for this compare it to QOTSA since that's where Nick made his name, but there's a lot more going on here. This is what Fugazi would sound like if Ian McKaye hadn't just said no.
The Return.......2007-07-20
Only a month after his former band released the killer "Era Vulgaris", Nick Oliveri's Mondo Generator upped the ante with "Dead Planet". This album is easily the best release by Nick and the band. Not a bad track in the mix. This album was previously released in the UK but does not contain the final three songs. Listen to this along with "Era Vulgaris" it is like Nick never left. Not to compare it to much to QOTSA because this stands on its own as a very good piece of work. I look forward to seeing the band perform these songs live.

Album Description
X-Clan, one of the genre's most powerful and influencial hip-hop crews ever, have returned after nearly a decade-long hiatus. Making its debut in 1990 with the classic To The East Blackwards, X-Clan was at the forefront of hip-hop's cultural movement. With hits like "Funkin' Lesson," "Head The Word Of The Brother" and "Raise The Flag," X-Clan secured hip-hop as a vehicle to advance the science and math of upliftment, popularizing the ideas of Malcolm X, Sonny Carson, Huey Newton, and Clarence 13X, while keeping dance floors packed. Led by Brother J, the Clan's founder and original lead MC, X-Clan is ready again to move your mind, body, and spirit.

Certified Classic.......2007-07-28
This album is incredible! I always felt like Brother J, KRS, and Rakim where ahead of their time but the times caught up with KRS and Rakim. Brother J is a time traveler because he is still on some futuristic type stuff. He doesn't sound the least bit out dated and he will crush most people out. I was blown away because eventhough he hasn't made an album in a long time he has still grown as an artist and is sharper than ever. X-Clan did an excellent job at keeping the essence of Prof. X alive and they have mastered their sound. This album is a must have. So far this is the best album I have heard in this millenium! I put Brother J in my top 3 emcees of all time list. If he had a few more albums I'm sure he could be #1.
Return From Mecca, a return to "Vanglorious" - Sissie!!!!!!.......2007-04-25
This has to be the best CD on the market today. I was actually able to listen to all of teh tracks. Jason Hunter, aka The Grand Verbalizer Funk'n Lesson Brother J, aka Brother One, aka Tehun Zju, aka the Underseer has really shown the dominance of a veralizer of a rapper. He flows so great on each cut. I have every X-Clan Album, but this one really shows the evolution of the X-Clan after a 15 year silence and the losses of Professor X (RIP) and Sugar Shaft (RIP). I can't get enough of this CD!!!
This album is off the chain.......2007-04-19
I have never heard an X-Clan record, so when a friend gave me this album, I was skeptical at first. Once I heard it, I was so impressed. This album is what hip-hop is really about. The beats are hot and the lyrics are deep. I recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear some real Hip-Hop!
lyrics and knowledge.......2007-03-23
A lyricist, dope beats and knowledge are the key elements to a dope conscious album. Funkin' lesson hits all the categories on the head with this new release from x clan. When I heard a new album was coming out after the long hiatus I questioned if brother J still had it. Well I saw x clan live when they came to chicago with public enemy. needless to say I left the concert with x clan's new cd in my hand. Not only does brother J shine on the album but he also has some nice guest appearances (Krs-One, Chali 2na, Jr. Gong Marley). It is good to hear a solid album that actually has some substance to it instead of wack material lyrics with a wack dance to accompany the weak track. This release gets two thumbs up from me.
Great Come Back.......2007-03-01
Despite their terrible loss, The Clan made a great come back with Return of the Mecca. I was a fan of the old clan and they made me proud this time. Brotha J must be looking down on them proudly.

Kingspade - P.T.B........2007-07-02
Kingspade, D-Loc and Richter of the Kottonmouth Kings on there solo project. You can't beat that. Unlike the usual sound that you would hear from Kottonmouth Kings, Kingspade is more rap with a familiar KMK mindframe of beats and loops, basically combining the formula of the KMK with the mainstream rap beats and loops that producers like Lil John, Kanye West, and others are responsible for. With those 2 genres emerged together, you got Kingspade. This is better than the crap on MTV, this is better than listening to the radio. This is Suburban Noise Records at its finest. For people interested in this album, I promise you will not be dissopointed. 5 stars, definently.
ON THE HIP LIKE A SIDEKICK.......2007-06-05
Alright i have to say that this is the sickest sub noize album to drop in a long time. We ridin is my fav track at the moment, and most of the others are amazing. Looking up from the bottom imo is not really a very good song, and neither is the one about the war or brother brother. Otherwise, the rest of the tracks are incredible. My only complaint is that the CD is not longer.
Also as a side comment (which has no bearing on my rating) is that Johnny Richter holds it down HARD on this cd. He really is a lyrical genious and just has great rhythm. LOC on the other hand is kind of losing his lyrical talent and continuing the downward trend on rhythm as well---
"On the hip like a sidekick, hit me dawg i'll hit you back"
"We got it in a bundle...(or a bag) we got that that u wish you had"
don't get me wrong... LOC has his baller lines as well, but simply can't hold his weight compared to J. Rich
i donno, just my observations....
BOTTOM LINE
buy this CD and support Suburban noize records ... its hard
DGAF
This is by far the best CD I have bought in a very long time.......2007-05-08
I am a huge fan of Kottonmouth Kings and Kingspade and all I can say about this CD is BUY IT NOW!
Track #6 "We Ridin" is worth the price of the CD by itself.
There are a lot of good songs on this cd, some are not as good as the others, but its all worth listening to and is definately worth the price of the cd. In my opinion track #6 is Kingspade's best song.
Buy this CD! Its the best investment you will make this year.
Who run this??? KINGSPADE.......2007-04-30
There really isn't a whole lot I can say about P.T.B. except for the fact it is an amazing rap album. D-Loc and Johnny Richter really have done it this time, and in my humble oppinion have surpassed the greatness of their self titled album in 04.
So if you are considering getting this album, the only advice i can give you (other than of course buying and playing it loud all the time) would be to play the whole album all the way through the first time, including the intro. It is clear that the flow of the album is pin point perfect, while each song just floooows into the next and surprises you more with each song.
On the album you got your songs you are meant to just play loud and rattle your whole car, these songs would include the lead single "Who run this?", "We Ridin", and "Bring the Crowd". All excellent cuts. Loc and Richter also put a few more "personal" tracks on the album. "Takin it Back" is basically a song telling the world that Subnoize records is the greatest lable in music right now. "Lookin Up" featuring subnoize's Big B talks about being at the bottom of everything sucks. "Follow the Leader" could be the deepest of the album, talking about the war...trust me it's not your normal American Idiot anthem, Leader is actually a great song that gives a fair appraisal of the war. "That's how it Goes" off of KMK's Hidden Stash 3 is also another personal song, and in my oppinion, probably the best all around song on the album.
Johnny Richter is really the one that does hold the album together. D-Loc is definatly a waaay above average rapper, but through the years he has just lost his whole essence. But J Rich is silky smooth on every verse of every song, and right now in this horrible stage of hip hop, he could have one of the best flows out there.
All I am saying folks is BUY THIS ALBUM. If you are a fan of the Kottonmouth Kings, this one is a no brainer. And for those of you unfamiliar with Kingspade or KMK, don't let the fact that these guys are white fool you, they spit better than any mainstream rapper out there right now, and the beats are AMAZING. Best rap album of the year, hands down.
BEST RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR.......2007-04-28
D-LOC AND RICHTER have to be 2 of the best rappers out there.This beats anything on mtv or radio right now.Get this cd now.Every track on this cd is great.No filler.How many cds out now can you say that about?If i could give this six stars i would.SRH

More like the old hed, sort of.......2006-09-26
I've been a big fan of this mob since their first two records blew me away in the late 90's with a very original sound and a very intelligent lyric content. Then came 'broke', which was very good, 'blackout', which was also pretty good although not as strong perhaps as their first stuff, and then the other one a couple of years ago (to sum up how excited about that I was).
Now comes this record which I feel captures the sort of intelligent thought they had on their selftitled album (I still consider their best) but has the agression of the other one (only in amerika) - and it works. It's got a very lively sound to it, MCUD's vocals are great as usual, lots of energy and gets his point across clearly despte the level of agression, the music is fun and as they have done many times they come up with a unique sound again. Hed Pe are very good at changing the pace of songs and this record they do it masterfully.
Only issue is the track selection - I don't think the first half of the record, except track 4 'white collars' is as good as the second half, so can easily start listening to it and tune out.
favorites are: -'white collars': rocking track with strong lyrics and lively chorus
-'Dayz of war': Hed PE at their absolute best, reminiscent (although not sounding like) the Machine Mix of their classic 'Darky' with what starts life as a generic rap track that builds into a violent chorus with powerful use of an unorthadox choir arrangement - very clever song and sound.
everything from track 8 onwards I found enjoyable also.
Have given it 5 stars as a fan of the band (if that helps clarify it) as a record from them I really enjoyed.
So, You Think You Can Make An Album ?.......2006-08-10
So the rapcore (Or as they call themselves, G-Punk) unit has come back around to release their latest album, through their new label Suburban Noize. So what does this mean to me ? I mean, Broke was a solid album, but that was almost 6 years ago and they have since released two lackluster discs (2003's "Blackout" & 2005's "Only In Amerika"), toured with no one significant and seemingly dropped off of most peoples radars. So, a new label, a new vibe and a new chance. Another disappointment ? Surprisingly, not so much. This would have to be the first fairly solid disc since "Broke". And although it doesnt hold up to "Broke" or "Hed P.E.", it is still a pinch of fresh air. The first actual track, "Novus Ordus Clitorus" is a straight forward hip-hop track with fair traces of lounge-ish piano rolls, which holds its own as far as the album goes. The next two slices, "Lock And Load" & "White Collars" are fairly catchy heavy punk (I now see a fit for the G-Punk label) tracks with a fair mix of rapping and clean/yelled vocals to accompany. The follow-up track, "Get Ready" (which is the first single from the album) takes a bit of salt to digest, but is fairly enjoyable behind the occasional annoying high pitched yell from Jahred, which just doesnt sound natural. Next we have "Sophia", the first 'ballad' off the disc, which mixes up the previously heard heavy punk sound with an odd accordian/reggae mixture rising through some of the verses. It does work, strangely enough however. "Peer Pressure" is the 45 second irritating, childish punk track (I think they may have seen that too and thus why it only lasts as long as it does) which is followed by the second 'ballad' "Beware Do We Go", which is easily the most likeable track on the album. I'd really like to see it turn into a single, as I think it has good radio potential. The three following tracks, "Daze Or War", "Sweetchops" & "Soitbe" flow through but are easily forgettable. Then comes the second to last track on the album, "Lets Ride", which switches off nicely from melodic rap rock to a fairly harsh chorus and stands well. Reminds me how (Hed) is one of the few bands who I will let get away with childish angsty lyrics at times. The album closes with a fairly forgettable funky reggae track "The Chosen One". Overall, although it doesnt really hold the direction I wish (Hed) would go in, I'll let it pass as it did leave a much better taste in my mouth than the last two. So, we'll see what the future has in store for these lads.
WOW! HED P.E. IS BACK!!!!.......2006-08-10
I can't even describe the awesomeness of this album. I don't know what is better, Broke or Back 2 Base X. Both are great! Signing with SubNoize is the best move they have ever done. The best song on the album is "Let's Ride". the entire CD is great, so don't sleep on this CD...Its great!!!!
Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen.......2006-08-08
Upon listening to the first song on Hed Pe's new album, my first thought was, "What the hell? Their making elevator music now?" By the 3rd song, i was ready to fall asleep, and turned the cd off in disgust.
Hed Pe used to be on the front line of the rap metal scene. They released two good albums, their s-t debut, and "broke", which broke them above ground. But then, came their third album, "black out", and they gave into the demands of the corproate music business, and sold out. Tehy lost many fans, and since then, they have had a revolving door of musicians for every subsequent album and tour.
my main question is, what the hell happened to this once great band?
Great return.......2006-07-28
I have loved (hed) pe since the release of their second album "broke". I was however really dissapointed with their last album "Only in Amerika".
But this album is a true return to form, not as slick as 2003's "Blackout" and more akin to the sound of their best album "broke".
hed pe are one of the most under rated bands around, mixing hip-hop with punk and metal (and a dash of regae) they have a very original sound. I suggest that everyone check this album out, especially hed fans that didn't like "Only in Amerika".

Album Details
In April 1987, Slade's Final Studio Album "You Boyz Make Big Noize" (A Phrase Coined by Tea-lady Betty at Wessex Studios) was Released. Like Its Predecessor, Rogues Gallery, it was Bulging with Big Anthems and Monstrous Rockers. Perhaps the Strongest Tune is the Ballsy We Won't Give In. A Rousing Song of Resolution in the Face of Harshness, it Rings Out Like a Theme Song for the Band and their Inspiring Tenacity and is a Bona Fide Slade Classic. Meanwhile "Won't You Rock with Me" is a Portentous (Potential) Stadium Shaker and the Catchy "Ooh La La in L.a." Details the Period in 1984 When Don Powell (Named 'george' in the Lyric) was Briefly Headline News as the Boyfriend of Bob Dylan's Daughter ('miss Zimmerman') and Slade were in L.a. No Less Than Nine Bonus Tracks Include Four Different Versions of the Excellent, Swaggering Beastie Boys-style Rap-rock Single "You Boyz Make Big Noize", the Rare 12" Mix of "Still the Same" and the Festive Single "Let's Dance '88 Remix".

kmk is done.......2007-04-28
if anyone wants to hear anything decent by kmk ever again, then they need to stop buying these monthly releases and wait for them to take some time and make a solid release. then again, i dunno if kmk even has it in them anymore...these boys are old and washed up...d-locs flow is pure garbage...i could barely make it through this album as he prattles on with no rhyme or reason. not only does he barely rhyme, he doesn't even follow the beat. johnny richter, who used to be the shining star of the group, seems to have hit the creative wall as well. his verses continue to get wacker and wacker. and dont get me started on daddy x... point being the kottonmouth kings are burned out, a fact which is not surpising considering the lifestyle they lead and the subject matter they dwell upon...there are only so many variations of the weed song to be written and they have covered them all. if you are new to this, don't fall for this commercialized garbage, check out some of kmk's old stuff - hidden stash 2 (phenomal album), high society, and rollin stoned. i doubt kmk will ever return to this form again.
what?.......2006-09-20
OK this is officially the last Kottonmouth Kings cd I will buy. I'm not going to support them anymore. This isnt music people. I used to love KMK, because they had such a unique energy to thier songs. Albums like High Society, Hidden Stash Vol. 2, and Rollin Stoned were clearly when they were in their prime. These guys fell way off. Cmon, Daddy X is like 50 years old now and hes become the best lyricist in the group by default, but his voice is horrible and makes it annoying to listen to. Even Richters rapping is lazy. And I dont even want to talk about D-Loc dumbing it down; his new "single" from the subnoize souljas album might be the worst attempt ive ever heard this camp do. They seem like theyre trying to dumb it down so they can cross over into the mainstream. Heck, I was in a Journeys shoe store and the music video for "everybody move" came on. And thats cool, you gotta eat, but see you cant dumb down already dumbed down music. There are no stand out tracks on this album in my opinion. The opening track "wheres the weed at" is possibly the best song on the album but isnt even very good. Equipped with corny lines like "wheres the weed at, its in my back pack but you cant touch that", they just come off as idiots. Real hip hop and rap fans laugh at these guys. If they could mature over time and express more through thier albums, I would be feeling them so much more and could give them respect as artists. They have been around over 10 years now and still havent said much other than they smoke weed have sex and live the fast life; Any one can rap about that. And on the last recent few albums they have gotten less creative in expressing it. Listen to D-Loc on the song "Elevated Minds" (from the album High Society) and then listen to him on "Wheres the Weed at" and try to tell me his creativity isnt completely gone. I give them the one star for 2 reasons: because they didnt have any weak fake @ss punk attempts on this album (even though the other songs dont make up for it); and secondly because amazon makes you give a 1 star minimum. In closing, dont support them for doing what theyre doing because its all a front. They even said it, their raps a hustle. They hustlin you. Make them broke and maybe theyll come back real some other time. I agree with the reviewer before me who said they need to spend time on an album instead of dishing them out so quick.
If you are just getting into kottonmouth kings, I recommend any of the albums I mentioned before: High Society, Hidden Stash Vol. 2, and Rollin' Stoned
Worst KMK album....why, oh why?.......2006-08-10
I was anticipating this album so much, but it really dissapointed me. The only good songs are Keep it Cali, Wheres the weed At, and Everybody Move. Everything else is pure [..]. Im sorry KMK but you gotta get back to your roots....what happened to the best album ever "Rollin Stoned"? That album was awesome...not one flaw. But this...I can't even begin to tell you whats wrong with this. Just slow down with the releases and take your time on an album. I was listening to KMK when they came out with Royal Highness and have been following them since. The last concert I went to on the Koast 2 Koast tour was kinda lame cause of the new songs...also the band has become commercial. I see everyone and their momma wearing spades and KMK shirts. Im not saying they don't deserve the fame, but keep the sounds underground with the flava man! Rollin Stoned was the best KMK release, so if your looking for some awesome KMK music, check out that album.
pretty tight.......2006-07-14
this album is not bad.... the beats are good some songs aren't anything special, but tracks I like are "This my Club Song" "Iv'e Had it" Koast to Koast" and "Smile" ...check it out
It's ok.......2006-07-03
It's an ok cd, it's better thatn no. 7 for sure, that cd sucked. however it's nowhere near old standards. for one, daddy x can't rap. i'm sorry, but he can't. also, Loc can't rap very well anymore either. Richter's the only one who can really rap still, but even he isn't as good as he used to be. anyway here's a song by song review, but i'm skipping the ones that aren't really songs.
1) Where's the weed at - cool beat, cool raps, only a matter of time before it's played out though. 5/5
2) This my club song - ok song. stupid chorus but ok verses. basic hip hop beat, sounds like Kingspade 3/5
4)Keep it Kali - awesome hip hop beat, cool raps, but too short. 4/5
5)I've Had It - this chorus sounds kinda weird but it's not that bad of a song. 3/5
6) Friends - don't like this song. they keep saying "friends" in the chorus and it's just annoying. 2/5
8) Everybody move - this is an ok song, nice beat that gets you moving. 3/5
10) Bong Toke - I like the chorus, it sounds pretty cool. the verses are ok too. 4/5
11)Irie Feelin - Pretty good song. the beat is really laid back and relaxing. the chorus is cool too. this song reminds me of Dog's Life more than Dog's Life part 2 does. 5/5
13) Neva Stop - This song sucks. the chorus is stupid. since when has KmK abandoned rapping in their choruses and started to just repeat 4 words? 1/5
14) No Regrets - This is an ok song. the beats and chorus is cool, except when he keeps saying No Regrets during the chorus. 2/5
15) Hustle - I like this song. The chorus is cool and catchy. the beat is too. good raps. 4/5
16) Smile - this song is stupid. i like that they are lovin life and are happy but this song is pretty damn corny. 1/5
18) Do the math - this song is ok. 2/5
19) Koast 2 Koast - this song isn't bad. Richter's part is awesome because he raps pretty fast, even if it is a little sloppy. the chorus is cool too. Loc's part is way to short though and X's part sucks. 3/5
20) Party - SKIP THIS SONG. the verses are ok, but the chorus is absolutely horrible. all he says is "a party, a party, we goin to a party" over and over. the only good thing is the beat 2/5
21) One Too many times - the chorus is ok. the beat is cool, the raps are ok. 3/5
22) Last Chance - This song is ok, i like the chorus and the beat is pretty cool. 4/5
23) Forever - Stupid song. "just me and you just me and you that's right." stupid chorus, another corny song. 1/5
24) Subnoize - 2 minutes of nothing really 1/5
Overall: 2/5
This cd is ok, but not their best obviously, High Society will always be my favorite. The things i don't like are: Loc and X can't rap, which sucks cuz Loc used to have some awesome raps (King's Blend), and their raps and songs are too short. most of the songs barely go over 3 minutes. i remember old KmK had most songs go over 4 minutes, and some even over 5. also, each King used to be able to rap by themself for a whole minute, if not more. The longest i heard Loc rap on this cd by himself was about 20-30 seconds. dude, Things I Do had 3 minutes of ONLY Richter rapping, and Built to Last had over 3 minutes of ONLY Loc rapping. how can the new stuff compare to that? also i LOVED when they used to rap back and forth (Round and Round, Good as Gold).
if you like big talk, so so raps, and ok beats, this is for you. if you like awesome raps, poetry in motion, awesome beats, and real effort, get High Society or Royal Highness or the Hidden Stashes.

Kmk 4 life.......2006-06-12
This is a great album to smoke a bowl to. Hidden Stash has got tracks from their First Ep "Stoners Reeking Havoc" and some other tracks that were b-sides left off the "Royal Highness" sessions. Also this was the split of Saint cuz of creative differences. I liked Saint but they work better with JR. That's my personal opinion tho. Sweet release but not their best. If you a fan get it!
old school kmk.......2005-09-25
bought this album back when it first came out, finally decided to review it. this album is not their best, but it still is an awsome album. who really cares why saint left, he's back now and sounded allright on subnoize soujaz. the best tracks on here are: frontline, (old) so high, roll it up, everyday, and freaks. this is a great album to just sit back and get high to. if you haven't got this, it's a must have for any kmk fan. however, if you're just starting to get into kmk, i would suggest high society, and hidden stash 2, those are the best kmk albums. also check out the judge, big b, dirtball, kingspade. subnoize is better than anything else out there right now.
Hidden Stash.......2005-07-31
alright yall the people who are sayin that your not a true fan if u dont know the whole history of KMK and what order their cd's cameout in your just stupid as hell. im sure if any of the kings heard you say that they would slap ya upside ya stupid ass heads.now onto the review.
this cd is great im not a huge fan of saint but this is still a great cd. it shows alot of juggalo love so that just makes it that much fresher.
stay down 4 ya krown
peace
2nd only to stoners reaking havoc.......2005-03-01
as far as kmk cd's go, this is their second one, but their first one that was on a major lable. who cares what happened to saint, when he was with kings they had some of their best and layed the foundation for what is now a diansty, shure there was beef o well with his help this cd rules all, freaks of the industry, love songs, and pimp twist are da bomb hands down! so go to bed and get some sleep UR DONE
Saint Dog is Crap!.......2004-06-25
You guys are idiots! Saint dog wanted more songs to be ghetto hip hop because he thought he was black. KMK wanted to keep it real. Have you heard Saints new album "Ghetto Guide"? That fool is strictly a wannabe.

Another Great KMK Album.......2007-06-14
You get 36 chronic songs and a full-length DVD. This deal is off the hook.
You also get tracks with subnoize artists with KMK members.
Is it the Best? No.... But not bad at all.......2006-12-04
Ok... Now I am not going to go out here and say its the greatest cd ever released by the Kings, but it is better than a lot of [...] that is getting released....
You have 2 cds, and a DVD full of contente. Sure the cds are not "KMK only", but that is because this was released as a way for the group to expose to people works that they had either never released or were done with the other SuburbanNoize Records artists... Unlike the other reviewer who said there are some songs on here that do not feature KMK artists he is wrong. Every song has at least one of the members of KMK on it...
As for tracks on here and even the last couple of albums sounding less punk that is not a bad thing. The Kings are able to go out with these tracks and pull in fans who are more 'hiphop' induced and pull them back into the "riphop" sound... The last few albums have been more underground rap than a lot of people like, but I am going to tell you this right now...
Kottonmouth Kings are still going to be around and they are adapting their style to the times... They have 'gangstad' out their style, but they are more rap; because they do know it sells and will get their message out and partied to a lot more...
by the way you can always listen to their older stuff if you have the cds... gott evolve and not sound the same all the time...
What happened to the Kings?!.......2006-11-30
Man, this CD is not what I was expecting. After Rollin Stoned, they have been losing the punk - rock - rap style. Little guitar riffs and they changed it into underground rap. Kind of Crunk, underground rap. I guess it's more mainstream but I'd rather listen to their old stuff. High Society is their best Album. Rollin Stoned is pretty good too. Oh well, new sound but I'm still gonna go to their concerts cause they get the crowd rowdy!!! d[-_-]b
Not exactly a KmK release.......2006-11-30
Ok this review isn't gonna be very long. First and foremost, this is more like a Subnoize Souljas release, because most of the songs feature other subnoize artists, and a lot of the songs don't even have the Kings in them. Anway, i took off one star for that reason. I was expecting a lot of KmK songs, especially a lot of old ones that hadn't been released yet. Unfortunately, there were only a few. And i LOVE High Society, i think the Kings were at their best back then. Anyway, i took off another star because a lot of these songs have already been released. I can name at least half or more of the songs from this cd that have been on a subnoize souljas cd. To me, that's just either getting lazy, or just an attempt to put out enough stuff as you can in order to make more money. It's still a good cd though, even though i don't listen to many other subnoize artists, cuz they don't really stand out to me. If you're just getting into KmK, get High Society.
Track Highlights in a best to worst order are: Still Smokin, Karma(which was obviously recorded during High Society, the Kings' peak), Police Story, and Gone Get High.

Baby Baby Baby!!!!!!.......2007-01-19
You gotta love Slade. With a propensity towards raucous raving, these guys were among the pivotal glam bands of the early 70s. The first 2/3 of this collection attest to the yobbish hellraising these guys invoked. And yet, it was all in good fun. The sing-along nature of the work clearly shows how, beneath the tough-yet-glittery veneer, sugar and jollyness was at the core. Like I said, the early and middle portions of this compilations consist of classic after classic after classic. Wonderful.
Their 1980+ output varies in quality. Some is as great as anything they put out in the 70s. Other stuff is terrible. "Run Runaway" is like BTO's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" meets Little House on the Prairie. Terrible. But the rest isn't terrible.
Overall, this set deserves 5 stars because it presents a great portrait of the band. It gives a greater emphasis to the good stuff, but it also acknowledges the highlights of their later days. And man, is the music great. Check it out. You'll love it.
The better UK Version Cost Permitting But A Finer Tribute.......2005-08-22
The same guys that remastered the Who re-releases were responsible for the remix of this fine collection that covers Slade better than the latter day US version Get Your Boots On..but this is a pricey import but worth it if you are looking for a quality compilation of these boys who added a touch of glitter and rock to the whole glam rock scene.
Forget the influence they had on some of the metal bands, Slade were foremost a bunch of tough working class rockers steeped in the UK tradition of either rocking out with solid uncomplicated but loud catchy chords,clever tunesmiths of ballroom music or doing lovely ballads like Paul McCartney himself,using pianos and strings when needed.
Their parodies of using letters rather than words in their album and song titles were later copied by Prince and it's childishness was all in good fun and meant that way.
Their singles are well captured here and if you never heard Noddy's voice this is a great place to start. The rest of the band rocks on..hard to believe, I saw them open for ZZ Top once in New York a long time ago....they should have headlined, I went to the gig to see Slade.
Dumb but great fun!.......2004-02-15
Good old silly, irreverent Slade never really caught on in the US, but their melodic early-70s glam rock sounds as energetic and fun today as it did back then, and this is the best collection of their works, including all of the Slade's hit singles from the early '70s, from 1971's "Get Down And Get With It" to 1975's "Thanks For The Memory (Wham Bam Thank You Mam)".
Slade scored a whopping 11 Top Five hits between 1971 and 1974 (five of which topped the charts), and they're all here. So are their latter-day chart entries, like 1983's #2 hit "My Oh My", but Slade never got better than they did at their stomping glitter-rock peak, and "Feel The Noize" captures them in all their glory, filled with Noddy Holder and Jim Lea's big, dumb, misspelled shout-along hits ("Look Wot You Dun", "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me" and "Gudbuy T'Jane").
Slade Rocked ******.......2002-10-05
This was a rock band folks. Say what you will about their "lyrics", this group was pure ROCK AN ROLL. I saw them as one of the groups at the Largo Arena in Md opening for Aerosmith way back in 74 or 75. Actually, I came to see them and was not disappointed. Noddy Holder is COOL - STILL! This is a great CD to own if you are just getting into the glitter rock of the 70's.
I have the lps and they are still among my faves to peruse.
From an oldster.......2001-12-17
OK, it duzn't include ALL my favorites, but lots of 'em. I'm more partial to the heavier stuff -- The SLAYED album especially. If you still have a turntable you can get all their LPs for like five dollars each in the used bins and pick 'em for 'yerselF. I had the pleasure of seeing 'um live in 1975 (yes, 1975) -- one of the first concerts I ever saw, I was 16 years old. They warmed up for ZZ Top in NY. Wow-ie. I was hooked ever since. And if this CD is all the SLADE you ever buy -- you can't go wrong. They're is a very, very, good chance that many of the songs on this CD will stick in your head for a lifetime.
