1) It's a demo
2)The music has that jazzy sound that alotta artists were trying to achieve around the time
3)Black Thought even in his freestyling state isn't worse than most other emcees at the time
4)Going with last two points, it has be judged within the context of the time it was created
5)It's a demo

All that said tho, there are at LEAST 3 stand-out tracks, which is what you can
expect from most average ALBUMS... and this is a demo!

If anything, this is just to show the potential of the band, and even in light of that,
I find it some cool easy listening on a lazy day. Still worth throwing on every now and then.
