"Yes, he is finaly back, after more than 2 years since his 1st solo effort (Temps Mort), booba strikes back again with his violent and fierce sound. first, let's get this out of the way, this album is not as good as Temps Mort, which according to my books is a classic; one of the best french rap albums ever. i was upset that he left Lunatic and 45Scientific (because of money/contract reasons) since i thought the production/beats there were great and fit his style to perfection. but lets not dwell on the past, he is here, and back with vengeance. if you understand french you should realy hear this one, its dope. dope lyrics once again, great beats, although not as good as previous ones. i did notice one thing that distinguished this album from previous ones, in that his flow is faster and the production is closer to U.S. styles. My Favorite tracks in this album are: Le Mal Par le Mal, Commis Doffice, Hors Season, Baby, Avant de Partir. Bref, If you are a booba fan then you should have this one, after all this wait, you cant miss this. however, don't expect the same quality (in beats especially) as in Mauvais Oeil and Temps Mort."
