ALBUM COVER!

I'm on 2 songs on the bonus CD.

3 songs are being streamed here:

http://www.pavementmusic.com/survey/hedpe-new-single/

Just listened to them

"Closer" is a decent track, kinda reminds me of Skindred, not a fan of the chorus though.

"Jah Know" is a really good heavy song written for Jared's son, Zion.

"Pay Me" is the best out of the 3, after being impressed with the song live, I had high hopes for the studio version, it's not exactly what I was hoping the studio version would sound like but still great. I usually get annoyed when they throw samples into the music, but I felt like this sample fit the song well, but what probably would've made the song better was if they dropped the sample and Jared just did some angry rant about financial struggles, something similar to what Zack De La Rocha does at the end of the RATM song "Know Your Enemy."

Closer chorus is really bad and this is the track 3 of the album ugh! The drums machine sound a bit amateur.
Jah Know is a good one, Truth Rising feeling.
Well i have hope for a good album right now, finally something better than Evolution at Pavement Entertainment.

Good job! Any information about who produced the tracks on it?

was hoping someone would rip 'em before they took 'em down, lol. oh well.

Thanks for the heads up to the link.

I found Closer to be quite weak as an overall song, particularly in the chorus. Agreed Catar4x! Yuck!

I think Jared's age is really, really beginning to show on his vocals these days. He sounds old.

Jah Know and Pay Me were pretty good though. Be interesting to see which way this album slides.

I don't feel they've made a consistently awesome album across the board since B2BX (which took me many listens to fully appreciate and which I think is terribly under-appreciated). I'm just living in the past though. Haha. Fingers crossed.

i think all their subnoize were phenomenal. especially truth rising. evolution was such a letdown for me, personally.

their subnoize records. can't figure out how to edit on this new mobile site, lol.

Interesting. Didn't you find Insomnia quite weak? Especially in comparison to B2BX...

I mean I think Insomnia is awesome first half and very lacklustre last half. NWO was a huge, huge step up from it. I actually really dug NWO.

b2bx is one of their best.

but insomnia has madhouse, walk on by, game over, suffa, comeova2nite, children, atlantis a.d.... and i won't lie, i dug mirrorballin' a lot back then, haha. b2bx is definitely a better album overall, and at the time, i really appreciated the old school production, but 10 years later, i'm really missing the bass on that one. as for nwo, another fucking awesome record, but the thing that bugs me is the track list just seems like they threw it all together in 5 minutes and tacked on a bunch of extra songs to clean house. i mean, "girlfriend" is from 2003/2004. but then truth rising blew me away. overall, subnoize era for life.

Hahaha! Mirrorballin'? Really!?

See man. I reckon it goes- S/T/Broke/B2BX/OIA/Blackout/N.W.O/Truth Rising/Insomnia/Evolution.

Insomnia definitely is their weakest effort, but one thing I do agree with is that the subnoize era is better than this current Pavement era. They seem to have lost a lot of what made them unique, and maybe that has something to do with Jahred being the only original member, or the new label, but I don't see much of the genre-bending or signature (hed) p.e sound on the new songs I've heard. It all sounds a bit generic.

One thing I will say though is that their live show is still incredible. I've seen them twice in the past year (one of the times my band opened for them) and every time they kill it from beginning to end.

it's hard for me to rate the albums in order like that because they're all so different and i love them all for different reasons. OIA is the record that solidified my love for them and i still think that's the hardest any band or artist has came back after getting screwed by their label. so if i had to pick one of their records i couldn't live without, it's OIA. and they all hold memories for certain times in my life, it's just so hard to put them in order. let me try, lol.

OIA
B2BX
Broke
NWO
Truth Rising
Insomnia
S/T (it's not this far down on the list cuz i don't think it's phenomenal, trust me.)
Blackout
Evolution

still can't edit. i'd actually put S/T before or with Insomnia. my list is based on a mix of quality and sentimental value, remember, lol.

and about them live, i'm dying to see them again. my girl's gotta see them, she hasn't been to a lot of real shows (she used to be a fucking edm fag, lol) and HED puts on a REAL ass show, still. it's crazy. and who knows how long they're gonna be around. jared getting older and he's gonna wanna spend more time raising zion soon. it's obvious zion's birth was a major reason for the 4 years between records.

Madman, you opened for them? That's pretty rad! Well done!

Really, really interesting to see the rankings Kennk.

It is hard to rank them because each album brings its own thing. They are so different from one another. I think I love S/T so much because it is just so experimental and dense. There are so many layers to each song. It feels completely coked out too. It's just dripping with bad news and drugs and sweat and punk, reggae, metal vibes and Jahred sings his songs with real soul and agony on each track.

Darky is probably one of the coolest songs I've ever heard.

agree With you, hed_2012. s/t is still probably my favorite album from any band.
so much energy and pureness no hidden agendas or compromising. p.o.s., ground, darky, firsty, ifo, hill and all of the other songs are just great.
i think it's sad when jahred some times disses their earlier work for them being on drugs and what not. it's their best Music in my opinion.

favorite albums probably also depend on when you start listening to the band.
if i'd rank the albums it would be.
1. s/t
2. broke
3. b2bx , oia, blackout
4. the rest of the albums

The Lost Soul - Realness Featuring Cryptic Wisdom DZK Jahred From Hed P.E. & John E. Necro from OPM (Beat By Beatsmith)

and

The Lost Soul - From The Heart Featuring Jahred From Hed P.E. & DJ Immortal (Beat By Life And Death Productions)

are the two tracks I have on the Family Fresh Bonus CD.

Featuring Jahred on them both.

I'm so excited.

Theses tracks seems to be already included in your early 2016 album? Nothing new then?

If someone can share the tracklist of the second disc it will be great, zero information yet and i'm about to get my copy in one week. Thanks!
