Joe Budden 
Not as good as MM3 imo, and the Slaugherhouse guys all mailed it in(with the exception of Royce), but another solid cd from Budden.
Anyone get Mood Muzik 4?

Yea man, I love Escape Route. It had more structure than the MMs, and I liked the style of it(even though it sounded terrible from a production standpoint).
MM2 was incredible, but I have a cunthair lower than MM3 because it wasn't as consistent(imo). That said, my two favorite Budden songs of all-time are on MM2(Dumb and 3 Sides Story).
The top 3 can change with my mood, and MM4 has yet to settle, but right now I have them it at.....
MM3>Escape Route>MM2>MM4>MM1>Halfway House>Padded Room>Joe Budden.

Yea outside of the poor sound quality, like you said, the completeness of Escape Route is what I like. I think "3 Sides" and "Secrets" would have to be two of my favorite Budden tracks. Really missed having that classic story track on MM4.
I would have to go....

What I like about Budden the best is you can re-listen to all his music and can literally interchange his albums depending on how you feel that day.

Dperr. Seems like we are on the same page here.
Me and my buddy avoided listening to any leaked tracks(although I did sneak a listen to Black Cloud and Sober Up), and Friday night took a ride and bumped MM4 from front to back. We both said the same thing as you did. Solid album, but missing that one 7 minute story track like 3 Sides or Secrets. Great production all around. We agreed that Banks ruined the Titans track(Budden, Fab, and Royce were great). We were both a little disappointed at Ortiz and Crooked verses. We thought the two skits were hilarious. We both thought that Styles P stepped his game up, but couldn't understand why Pusha T would agree to do a Budden guest spot and only bring a 35 second verse(it was solid tho). We both were blown away by the second verse in Black Cloud and rewound it about 20 times. My favorite tracks are probably 1, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17.
Secrets is a bad ass story. Fuckin China.

I cannot even listen to Banks anymore. I used to like the guy when he first came out and thought his "Hunger For More" album was solid. Now a days he just sounds like he is mumbling.
I would say my favorite tracks on the album are 1, 2, 7, 9, 14.
Two more of my favorite Budden tracks of all time...
"So Long Goodbye"
"Whatever It Takes"
