    Busta seems to be treading water too often.

    A much more conventional Busta. [Aug 2006, p.111]

    On this album, then, the bad news is the same as the good news: Busta Rhymes is still Busta Rhymes. Which means that this CD contains about a half-dozen songs so infectious that they obliterate all the rest.

    Though he's as loud as ever, he has never sounded more tired.

    In the end... The Big Bang feels as hollow as a CGI-fueled Hollywood blockbuster.
