    A unique blend of styles the Neptunes have created. production is top notch and the lyrics are amazing as well. like outkast they know how to create music that you can listen to again and again. classic

    Not the best lyrics and singing but I can deal with that in favor of the great beats in all of the songs. Plus there's interesting subject matter instead of the usual love/drugs/getting money and **** stuff in music these days

    one of the greatest albums of all time, the beats are top-notch, the lyrics are mesmerizing, everyone should give it a listen, you'll love it. the first time i listened to it, i love it, ut every listen after that the album became better and better. Bobby Jones, Tape You, Things Are Getting Better anf other songs are incredible. listen to it

    Ooohh, I like this one. Dope. I can't describe the feelings I have for this one. It represent the ups and downs of the teenage life, and the production is so different in a positive way. No weak songs neither...

    Having created the noise to which great hip and ace hop is made, they are now infusing the genre with new blood, vibe, and funk. The future just happened. [Review of UK version]

    A roducer's album in the best sense, showcasing the personal and lyrical over flashy technique. [Review of UK version]
