This is a bit like their last album for me, quality wise. Some awesome tracks but not enough of them to be a classic. The rest of the tracks are okay to good, which make it an album you can play through, but not enough awesome stuff is here. Still though, a solid 3.5/5 and probably closer to a 4 than a 3. Atmosphere fans won't be disappointed. Best Tracks: Puppets, Your Glass House, Me, In Her Music Box.

Not a bad remix mixtape but the remixes don't add a lot to the originals which is how one should probably rate a remix album. They are different though.

Better than I expected, for an album that took me over six years to finally get around to listening to. The beats from the likes of Cool & Dre, Knobody, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, The Alchemist and Emile are not mind-blowing, but as you'd expect from those names, they get the job done. Lyrically Remy is quite unoriginal with a gangster chick persona and at times slutty lyrics, until the last few tracks where she becomes more introspective. Overall, there aren't any terrible tunes, and I find this to be a fairly easy listen, but there probably isn't anything I'll be going back to to make this deserving of a high rating. 2.5-3/5 Best Tracks: She's Gone, Lights, Camera, Action, Whuteva, Crazy

Z-Ro the Crooked is one of the better artists going round in the hip hop genre these days and usually puts out quality stuff. 'The Rain' features some of that but not really near past Z-Ro material and a fair bit of this album is just so-so. Overall, the production reminds me of past Ro material, maybe not so much 'Crack', but stuff before that. It's fairly raw with lots of slow/emotional vibe type beats. The majority of the subject matter is your normal Z-Ro topics about the hood and the bad things that come with it. The collab artist Chill is fine, can't really complain, never heard much from him before I don't think. You'd rather a solo Z-Ro album though. For fans of Z-Ro I'd still recommend this as there will probably be something you'll find. It's a listenable album with that Z-Ro style given to it but it's not near other album's he has released. Still though, nothing too bad and some good. Best Tracks: Mama’s Lil Boy, Mama Don’t Cry, Soulja, False Profits, Rain or Die

Most of the hardcore hip hop here is pretty bangin' (mentioned below), but again the poppier tracks just ain't anything special from Twista and severely slow the middle of the album down. The pop rap single 'Make a Movie' ain't bad, but how many songs have there been about making a sex movie?... You can't blame Twista for trying to earn a couple more bucks making tracks for the radio, but I think if he created an album full of tracks like 'Up to Speed' and 'Darkness', with harder/darker beats and him spitting fire you'd have a great album. Inconsistent, but there are a few tracks to go back to if you enjoy Twista's ferocious tongue. Best Tracks: Darkness, Up to Speed, I Do, 3 Minute Murder.
