Quality-Beats:7.5 Lyrics:9
Electric Circus-Beats:8.5 Lyrics: 6.5
Phrenology-Beats: 7.5 Lyrics: 8.5 (points taken off for missing Malik B)

averaging total numbers is how i could point Quality the 2002 crown.

also, just on innate feeling alone, Phrenology did not have what i had come to expect from the group (Roots for dummies.) too many moments of mediocrity with greatness merely sprinkled in. Quality delivered more in the opposite direction of that equation.
