   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 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… Expand

   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-almost always started by Royce da 5'9. Which, by the 3rd or so song became very predictable. Throw it away, Hammer dance and Rescue Me were my favs.… Expand

   There are highs and lows with this album. Tracks like "Rescue Me", "Goodbye", and "Our House", are all great tracks. However, then there are tracks like "Asylum", "Throw That", and "Throw It Away", which make you scratch your head. Basically, like with most supergroups, Slaughterhouse have moments when they really click, but other times when they're underwhelming.… Expand

   Before everyone gets mad, I am a honest to god Slaughterhouse fan. I have their debut album as well as various solo albums. I thought they were a very strong rap clique focused on furious lyricism and with the boost from Eminem, they had the potential to be in the same league as Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, The Roots and many more in the "legendary rap group category." With a strong EP from Bad Meets Evil and an amazing job at the BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher.
   
   But this? This was nothing I expected, I mean this is bad. Very, VERY BAD! I mean not K-Fed level bad. But bad nonetheless. Where do I begin? First off, the production. Yes, I know the production should take passenger side to the lyrics. But these beats sound like leftovers from Recovery, they are as poppy as Lasers. The only songs that sound like traditional Slaughterhouse songs are Hammer Dance, Coffin & Die. Aside from that, songs like Park It Sideways & My Life are just too sugary for me. I'll admit I liked the title track song, probably because it has the only Eminem verse on this album, it's the only Alex Da Kid beat where it's not too poppy, and the only Skylar Grey hook that's not too emo. Speaking of hooks, what the **** is up with these trashy hooks? Cee-Lo is on the song My Life to give you a hook where he drops multiple f-bombs on you (where have I heard that before?), Swizz Beatz is as awful as ever on Throw It Away, Eminem sounds bored as hell on both Throw That & Asylum and Skylar Grey (again) sounds emo on Rescue Me. On Goodbye, Joe, Crooked and Joell all give very personal, very touching verses and then some anonymous singer delivers the worst hook on the album. Aside from that Flip A Bird, Throw It Away and Frat House are obvious reaches for the club and on the song Our Way (another song I liked), they had the balls to say they didn't compromise their integrity. But to be fair, that could be true, maybe they wanted this all along. But the On The House mixtape proves otherwise, pretty much delivering the album that should've been. I would've happily paid money for that mixtape over this. You might ask why I've talked so much about the hooks and choruses on the album, when Slaughterhouse were always about lyrics. Well that's because the lyrics are practically non-existant, because they are drowned out by hooks & beats that never should've been there in the first place.
   
   Sorry if this was too long winded, it's just that I respect Slaughterhouse too much to let them become everything they stood against. Say whatever you want about Radioactive, but at least Yelawolf, for the most part, kept true to his Trunk Muzik sound. But here, there's very little redeemability and a definite dissapointment.… Expand
