I was waiting for this album for about 5 years and have to say it was worth the wait.  Definitely worth purchasing.  The album flows well and has great production.  I would give it an 8.5/10.

A very well put together album. I was expecting more since he said it was going to be the best album in the past decade to come out but overall it was a good album. Definitely better than most that have come out recently.

Just got my hands on it.  Really digging it.  Just Blaze has some great production and him pretty much producing the whole album gives it a nice flow that is missing from most of today's hip-hop.  It feels like an ALBUM, instead of 16 random songs thrown on a disk with one song produced by Dre, one song produced by Kanye, one song produced by Blaze, one song produced by J Cardim, one song produced by Khalid, one song produced by Scott Storch, etc etc.

Lyrically, it isn't anything groundbreaking, but Saigon is just good enough so that he doesn't ruin the quality of the project on a whole.  He has a great flow, and the guest spots aren't too intrusive.  The bonus disk is also a treat as each song is solid.

I bought it the first week it came out. Waited 5 years for it! Good album, but still sad that the public will buy stuff like Drake instead of this.

Now if we could just get Dr. Dre's Detox to finally come out!
