This starts off fairly well with most tracks from two to eight being good and a few being close to excellent. However, after that, while you will still find some enjoyment the beats become less thrilling and not much stands out after that. It ain't just because they ain't brilliant though I feel too many tracks have the same sort of sound and it all sort of blends in together. Another thing about the second half of the album is that there are too many featuring artists. Most of the featuring verses are pretty good and raw particularly on 'Post Traumatic Warlab Stress' and 'Ripperland' (some aren't too good though) but if I'm listening to a new Canibus album I wanna hear Canibus most of the time and he goes missing in the last half a dozen or so songs.
As another user has mentioned lyrically it is dumbed down a bit from what we have seen in the past which is good and bad. Even if I could never understand what the hell he was rapping about I could still enjoy the track and it made Canibus stand out even more from other artists. He is still lyrical though just not at the vocabulary level we have seen in the past. Overall, if you're a fan of Bis check it out as you should find something but I wouldn't rank it near his best - 'Rip The Jacker'.
