BTNHResurrection (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony)
5
Before going under, that is. As Thug World Order was very average, for Bone thugs, anyway. Bone 4 Life was a good album, but just barely. Thug Stories was also a good album, better than Thug World Order and Bone 4 Life, because DJ U-NEEK, one of Bone's long time producers, came back to do some work on it. Strength & Loyalty is probably their worst C.D. to date, but still on the verge of good. We all know, Faces of Death, Creppin' On Ah Come Up, East 1999 Eternal, and The Art of War were all EXCEPTIONAL C.D.'s. Practically flawless.
Now to BTHNResurrection...
Yes, it's Bone is still amazing on this album. Krayzie still with the best flow, Bizzy falling directly behind him, Layzie still tearing it up, Wish still doing his thing, and A LOT more of the underrated: Flesh-N-Bone, who actually appeared on 15/16 of the tracks. He also really rips the tracks apart.
As for the tracks:
#1) Show 'Em - 8.5/10: A great start to the album.
#2) The Righteous Ones - 10/10: The best track on the C.D. Layzie's flow is really smooth and great, Bizzy also does great work here. Same for Flesh.
#3) 2 Glocks - 10/10: Another amazing addition to the Bone songs. Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, and Flesh really rip this track apart, especially Krayzie and Flesh.
#4) Battlezone - 9.75/10: Phew, Krayzie's verse is really long, and also really awesome. Grand song.
#5) Ecstacy - 9.25/10: They all do an excellent job on this song, and it's overall superb.
#6) Murder One - 10/10: If The Rigteous Ones isn't the best song on the track, this would have to be it. Bizzy, Layzie, and Flesh tear it up, boy.
#7) Souljah's Marching - 10/10: Layzie is extremely good on this track, but then again, so is Bizzy and Flesh. Amazing song.
#8) Servin' Tha Fiends - 9.25/10: Excellent track. Bizzy, Layzie, and Flesh work the track, as usual.
#9) Resurrection (Paper, Paper) - 10/10: You gotta love this laidback track. Feel good song, with all 5 of the Thugs working it.
#10) Can't Give It Up - 8.5/10: A great song, w/Kray, Lay, Biz, and Flesh doing their usual.
#11) Weed Song: you know what? I can't remember this track.
#12) Change The World - 9/10: Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, and Flesh do some good work on this great track.
#13) Don't Worry - 9.25-9.5/10: Sounds like a class Bone song to me, with all of the Thugs on it. Awesome track.
#14) Mind On Our Money - 8.5-8.75/10: Another great track. Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, and Flesh on the track.
#15) No Way Out - 8.75-9/10: Layzie, Bizzy, and Flesh on track, great song.
#16) One Night Stand - 9.25/10: Superb Bizzy solo track. He really rips it up! Awesome outro to this awesome C.D.
End result: BUY THE C.D. Whether you be a Bone Thug fan or not, which I am an extreme fan, just buy it. Anyone who has any taste in Rap will love the album. Overall, a superb C.D.
The reason Bone fails to be as good as they were is simple: Bizzy is gone, Flesh is in prison 'til '08, new and average producers, giving them a mordern sound, minusing the old Bone Thug sound we all love, and finally, TOO many guest appearances on Strength & Loyalty. Putting people on a different level on the same tracks as Bone doesn't work out so well.
God bless.
