    This is by far not the greatest CD released by BT&H. The Fleetwood Mac remake along with the song with Akon are the only 2 songs that stand out as very good tracks. All of the others are just OK to me.

    This is a fantastic album by a group that seems to manager to weather the worst of storms. I have been a fan of the group since their early days, and my love for them keeps growing.

I have been a fan of the group since their early days, and my love for them keeps growing. Having said that, since the E1999 Eternal album, they really went away from what truly made them a legengary group (and also their namesake) - Harmony! They relied on only one or no band members doing the hook, and relegated their style to traditional hip hop styles with each member doing 16 bar verses between monotonous hooks. On this album, they go back to what made them the group that everyone loved. The melody/harmony on most of these tracks has not been present in their music, or all of hip hop, for years - For example, my favorite song, is actually the bonus track "Just Vibe", where you find the trio trading 4 bar verses and HARMONIZING. The absense of Bizzy goes without saying - a huge issue that I hope that group resolves for their next installment. But as long as they keep those two key elements of hamony and melody, then they will have no problem staying relevent for years to come - oh and the beats by swizzy and akon definitely don't hurt the situation!… Expand

    This album proves Bone Thugs n Harmony the best rapper band today. All the songs are very catchy and avoids sex and women things. One of my fav. albums of all time!

    Strength & Loyalty doesn't overcome its challenges; it just sidesteps them and works hard to reward fans for a decade of patience.

    A tight disc that skitters from track to shiny track with imagination and a renewed sense of rap's widened boundaries.

    A relatively solid return that should bring some new fans into the flock. [12 May 2007]
