Customer Reviews

Simply the BEST JMT album ever.
This is the BEST JMT album. All of the songs on this album are classics. Songs that stand out to me are Retaliation, I Against I (classic), Exertions, Heavenly Divine, Sacrafice, The Executioners Dream, Army of The Pharaohs, Untitled, and Blood Runs Cold. Just these tracks alone could create a timeless album. This album is worth the money, definately up there with the classics.

The DVD footage is good too. It just follows JMT around during their tour. The ending footage is tight, it interweaves a few different concerts of JMT during their tour performing "I Against I". Very well produced.

WAY more than 5 stars
I can't really stress how crucial it is to add VBD to your collection. When I first got this CD a few years ago, I played it to the point where none of the tracks even played correctly anymore; I rocked it to death. Luckily, they've re-released it, with a remix of Retaliation, a vicious new track with some tight back-and-forth emceeing on the third verse, and also finally putting Blood Runs Cold on CD. Thank you, hip hop gods. Vinnie Paz has since dipped a bit in his ferocity and mythical references in his verses, but JMT is still a huuge force to be reckoned with; go get Legacy of Blood to hear their new stuff (with GZA, Sean Price, Killah Priest... I don't need to say more).

Dude is a clown, portland sucks at life
I didn't want to write a review for this, because anyone who appreciates raw, east coast hip-hop already knows about Jedi Mind Tricks, and their seminal underground smash that is Violent By Design. This album is by far their best, and personally one of my top 5 hip-hop albums of all time. The kid(and yes this kid is probably 13) who gave it 1 star and reccomended Swollen Members and Living Legends is a clown, plain and simple. His west-coast bias is obvious, and Del and Murs from Living Legends are the only cats he mentions that are really holding down the West Coast, and even their most acclaimed work has been with producers from different areas (Dan the Automator and 9th Wonder).

Back to the album. It is banger after banger, every single song on the album is good, especially Heavenly, Divine, Sacrifice, The Deer Hunter and Retaliation. Don't expect any politics or deep introspective lyrics because that isn't what this is about. Both Vinnie and Jus Allah rip these tracks with a sick flow, voice, and some ill ignorant punchlines. The beats are incredible, and on par with RZA and DJ Premier(seriously). I've been listening to this album for four years and haven't gotten tired of it--thats saying something. To all you cats that are just getting into hip-hop cop this album...philly at it's finest. PEACE.
