Sonically, pretty much the best thing Em's ever put out. Rock infused rap ballads might have gone out of style a long time ago, but this is one of those immortal works that slaps no matter what year you listen to this incredible album in. Its devoid of satire and counter culture elements that made Em's previous albums so great, but he makes up for it with an incredible transition to emotionally poignant and personal song writing that were only scarcely prevalent in his previous albums like The Way I Am and Rock Bottom.
