Considering how tight "Strength & Loyalty" is, it's not likely anybody is going to forget Bone Thugs-N-Harmony any time soon.
-
Entertainment WeeklyA pleasant surprise after years of diminishing returns. [11 May 2007, p.74]
-
Together, they have their tricky, intricate flow intact, and the songs are supremely melodic, sharply arranged to remind you of how tuneful and infectious hip-hop can be.
-
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.
-
BillboardA relatively solid return that should bring some new fans into the flock. [12 May 2007]
-
Although the group's signature speed raps suffer without Bizzy's haunting high harmony, the Thugs' collective ear for a hook remains undiminished.
-
When their free-flowing, melodic patter is matched with the right groove, that Cleveland magic returns.
-
SpinThe veteran group's dizzying flows remain flawless. [Jun 2007, p.90]
