i picked it up yesterday. it's pretty good, though the middle is kind of weak.
ghost is back is pretty hot though. it just uses the instrumental track for eric b & rakim's juice (know the ledge).

i thought it was just okay

nowhere near as good as Fishscale, and i dont even know if fishscale will make my top 20

once again he's totally dragged down by his guest appearances. he could have made one consistently excellent album out of this and fishscale.

^^ but i think he thought of doing this album partly because of the response to fishcale
