    overall its a great album
    production could be smoother , cleaner and simply better but it's flaws are covered by group's lyricism 4 MCs are viscus as ever with their rhymes and on point flows and smart bars which can make you hit the rewind button over and over again
    tracks like Throw It Away , Throw That and Walk Of Shame seemed non-Slaughterish and could have been cut off of album and

    tracks like Throw It Away , Throw That and Walk Of Shame seemed non-Slaughterish and could have been cut off of album and released on the mixtape , the same can be said for the mixtape, there are some great songs on mixtape that could've fit right in the album. songs like "Goodbye" are easily slaughter at its finest and are up there between their best works so far like "Move on" and "Rain Drops"
    this album grows on you with every listen and in songs like Our House (with Skylar's charming and soulful voice) you can easily feel their improvement (in song crafting) over their debut album which had perfect bars and perfect flows but they failed to use those bars to make great and well rounded songs
    its an 8/10 but i rate it 10 because haters will rate this album the lowest score possible

    The lyrics are amazing. You will be sifting trough each bar and find a different meaning each time. Great album, must buy for hip hop fans. They are a force to be reckoned with.

    Really looked forward to this. Their crazy hot rite now. I think the group is like a modern day wu-tang (smaller in # of MC's tho'). They can each lyrically hit the mic. Crooked I is the weakest in my opinion (like ODB was for wu-tang). Anyway, this release played like a mix tape. Budden was crazy hot on this. BUt seemed each song had a distinct order in which they hit the mic-almostReally looked forward to this. Their crazy hot rite now.

Which, by the 3rd or so song became very predictable. Throw it away, Hammer dance and Rescue Me were my favs. Expand

    It's executive producer Eminem and his tin ear for a beat who dominate the LP's direction--or, rather, lack of it. [Dec 2012, p.112]

    Slaughterhouse's debut album has plenty of cuts that should satisfy their old fans and at least a few that should attract new ones. [#255, p.96]

    The debut was unexpectedly good and remains a classic. The official sequel to it was EXPECTED to be good and it is.
