N.W.O. Reviews. WARNING! Spoiler alert!!

I do what I can lol.

okay, so i suck..

I listened stay ready, cities on the moon, 4smokazonly, babylon fall, bucky lasek & hey now on youtube





FUUUUUUUUCK! IS THE REST OF THE ALBUM AS GOOD AS THOSE SONGS?!
cuz that'll mean we have the best (hed) album since... well, eh, maybe EVER!

In my opinion as much as those songs kick total ass you've heard the weaker ones. Be prepared for pure gold my friend!

Broke, those songs are great and some of the best, but there are a few even better (although Stay Ready is my favorite)

The ones you listened to are cool but others are also nice, for instance Everything All The Time. Though Stay Ready is ma favorite as well.
And yeah, it's a really good album

No, this is far from being the best (hed) album. And I'd also say that all the songs you've heard thus far are some of the strongest ones on the album. I hate when bands release the best songs off their album before it drops.

in your opinion

It's not the best (hed) album but it's a very good one

Ya dude definetly not the best IMO but its still very good. U might think its very low but i love every cd, and theres only maybe 5-7 songs in the history of hed that i havent liked.

1. Broke
2. self titled
3. OIA
4. blackout
5. Insomnia/NWO
6. B2BX

i've listened to the album on youtube
It's all there
i think it's better than Insomnia, but i'll have to listen to it for sime time more to make a final decision
Some thing i like: melody! There are very catchy choruses on this album! Renegade blew my mind from the first seconds and i could not stop listening to that shit (on youtube ).
Mainly there's little filler on this album, that's what i like.
What i don't like... is the repetative topics and lame raps... sorry, but in like only 2 songs on this album i've liked the way Jah rapped. Don't know why I like raps like he did on Darky, Soitbe, and iv'e missed these here
But, again, i've listened to it once on Youtube, so i'm not too ready to judge

Aight, i listened the album twice no.. i think it's one of the best hed albums ever.. i dunno if it's better than the self-titled/COR, but it is really really really good

Hey guys glad to hear you all love the album, its really awesome. It has great grooves! Oh yeah I added a poll in the first page of this thread, so you can give a vote for the album.

Nice poll. So I voted 4.5.

Actually I'd give it a 5 if they got rid of most of the intros, they're just annoying fillers imo.
And I think an intro should be at the beginnig of the album not all over it.

But the songs are really cool and so is the overall impression.

i find it amazing that you guys dig this album 'that' much. don't get me wrong i mean its fucking cool but in a few months when i'm looking back it's still going to place about 4th best for me.

Same. I think for a lot of people it's still riding on that 'new album wave'. It happens to me a lot. I know when an album is REALLY good when I keep coming back to listen to it months after it's been out. I haven't touched Insomnia, B2BX, or OIA on months, the latter two probably more than a year. I doubt the same thing will happen with NWO, because it's significantly better than those albums, but you get the point. But I'm still contstantly spinning the old shit. NWO is good, but not great. I voted 3/5.

Yeah possibly. I voted a 4. I know for me personally I never get the 'new album wave' feeling. I work the opposite. Generally I think less of an album when I first hear it but the more I listen to it the more I like. I mean I never felt strongly about Insomnia when I first heard it and still to this day think it is definately their weakest.

What MAY have happened is that it appears stronger to me than it actually is because it came after the 'oh so disappointing Insomnia' haha like Obama coming after George Bush. I dunno... Glad you dig it Broke. Dope album.

I'm probably more the same way actually. I can usually tell right away what albums will keep me interested from the very beginning. Some albums I can tell that they will never grow on me, which thankfully is very few of them. A lot of them just grow on me after a few listens. I did get the 'new album' feeling with Insomnia for the first couple of weeks. I already knew it was a weak album, but not nearly as much as I realize it is now. I think everyone can agree that NWO blows Insomnia out of the water, though.

Yea same way here, I can usually tell right away if I'll like an album or not from the very first listen. If i don't like it, no matter how many times i listen to it, it won't grow on me.

for example, taproot, I could never get into them, I forced my self to listen to their cd that it almost drove me nuts, the more i listened the more i disliked it, they sounded like very boring deftones wanna-be band, i ended up trading that cd for a vhs movie, lol.

And yeah NWO does blow insomnia out the water, i give it a 4.

i kinda voted classic, i guess i'm the only one

That's too bad, because Taproot is an incredible band. Nothing like Deftones...
I won't like, their new album is probably their worst effort to date, but if you haven't heard Blue-Sky Research or Gift, then I suggest taking a listen.

My god it came. I have it. Stay Ready.... has.... everything... Damn. I'll rate it later.

Taproot is definitely an acquired taste, I can see why some would not enjoy their music. I for one have always liked them (although their newest album was just terrible)...to me Welcome was their best effort

@ LOZZ: Stay ready truly is a fantastic track, one of the best surprises on the album. Even Dirtball sounds really good, good enough for me to check out his own work

Ok, who here in the good ol' US of A has still not received a damn thing from Sub-Noize...?

I'll start it off,

#1

yeah man! this is more like it. now if we could only get the more soulful Jah back. is he afraid of melodies now? oh well baby steps i guess. at least he's sticking to one topic per song now. needs a little work before ripping off RATM. maybe rant about REAL issues and hold rallies a protests and not sounding like an angry stoner on a soapbox with fucking ADHD. LOL-ski!
