...it's the choruses on the second half. Singing man and the show stand out the most as being underdeveloped and boring.

But overall, it's a very solid album. A few of my thoughts:

-this album feels like a celebration, what with all of their friends on tracks, and the intersplicing of the old demos and phone calls and such. it's really looking back while looking forward. this is a distinctive and cool feel only the roots could achieve.
-really not as "synthy" as i thought it was going to be.
-fav. tracks: get busy, 75 bars, i will not apologize, rising up
-i hope someone does a full on dub remix of i will not apologize, awesome feel on that track.
-p.o.r.n.'s verse on i can't help it is awesome.
-peedi crakk sounds like mc pee pants (from aqua teen) a bit on get busy
-i like the intro to the show, it sounds like the intro to Curtis (mayfield)

but overall, another solid release from the boys, with some definite highlights, but some definite detractors, too. and it's shit you can look at objectively, without having to compare it to any of their other releases
