most of the comments on this board got it covered. the guest spots are on point, the tracks are sick, and riq is still on point of course.

- the dark mood of the album is well set. i am missing kirk, but he'll bring it live, i'm not worried.

- once again, the guest spots are on point, but considering the length of the album i feel like i haven't had a thorough enough dose of BT.

- i'm sure people are going to be complaining about how quest called this the best roots project to date. of course that claim will be debated, but i think its foolish for people to say stuff like "now the expectations are too high." i don't see how anyone's expectations wouldn't be high anyway, seeing that they are coming off of a great album in game theory.

rising down pretty good album then. it'll be interesting to see the reviews and such. we'll all need a week or so to figure out how good.
