 What happened? December 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Yes it is a good album but the sound quality is lower than almost any mp3 I've ever listened to and this is a CD. I expected more given the quality of his last album. His last album was clear and sounded great. I use this new album as an example of over distortion, over mastering, and over compression. I think anyone that purchased the SACD version of his last album would be in complete shock when they listened to this. I hope Everlast is reading the reviews on here. As I said, the album is great. So great in fact that if he remastered the whole album I would buy it again. Not sure what happened here but there is a definite difference between his last albums and this one. Please clean it up! Album is a 4.5 and mastering a 1.5. Perhaps not his fault but it still happened so I have to rate the project on the whole as a 3...
He was meant to sing the blues December 3, 2008
Out of the 4 albums of his that I own, this is by far the best. Don't get me wrong, Whitey for Sings the Blues and Eat At Whitey's were good albums, but they had tracks that I could do without. I'm not a big fan of when he raps though, so I was glad he did this one pretty much without any. Every song on this CD is good. There are 2 reasons I give this 4 stars instead of 5: because on a couple of tracks he forces some rhymes that don't make any sense; and he is to the point where he is forcing himself to cuss for no reason. I don't mind cussing at all, I listen to mostly rap, but it gets annoying when it is forced.
Great Album.

I bought this for the Saving Grace song but the other songs are good too. Listen to the words, he has some interesting thoughts. Lanuage is a bit rough so be prepared but do get beyond that.

I've had an ear out for Everlast ever since his House of Pain days. The Whitey Ford album was a good look for him. This record goes in another direction but works none the less. He starts off with a compelling first track "Kill the Emperor", "lets stop the War and feed the poor kill the emperor". The 2nd cut "Folson Prison Blues", is reminiscent of the House of pain days.
My favorite songs are (6) "Friend" which is the most introspective song and strikes the chord of emphatic truth, "Lovers come and go but right now I need a friend". The (13) track "Weakness" is vintage country blues and another favorite of mine. The beat and rythm of (14) "Dirty" makes it hot, track (4) "Anyone" is solid also. The final track (17) "Saving Grace" I think expresses societies ills and failings "sitting by the phone waiting for the Lord to send my calling" is very powerful.
His album motif is a bit unusual coming from a so called "Whitey Ford". I think Everlast has reinvented himself since going solo and continues to do just that "thankful for the gifts the angels gave me" He was more of a rapper than a singer on "White Ford sings the blues" this one is more singing than rapping.
Being a firm believer in the livingstone used to make a Temple without the use of any metal instrument,eternal in the Heavens. I find it interesting the word "stone" appears in the title of 3 of the songs on this album. (3) "Stone in my hand" (10) "Letters Home from the garden of stone" and (12) "Throw a stone". Mere coincidence, perhaps not.
Most hip hop heads probably won't appreciate this piece of work,some might not even call it hip hop but I like its diversity, thus the 4 star rating.
