CD Reviews3-1/2 stars -- What? Terror Squad has a decent album? Anthony Rupert | Milwaukee, WI | 10/29/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "Terror Squad has changed a lot since their last album, considering the death of Big Pun, the dismissal of Cuban Link, and the forgotten-about Triple Seis. Their latest album, True Story, probably won't win any awards for Best Album of the Year, but it's a pretty decent offering from the group. First off, I really don't understand why nobody seems to like this album. A lot of reviewers say that "Lean Back" is the only good song on here, and I have to disagree. It IS the BEST song on the album though, but there are also some other good songs, like "Streets of NY" and "Thunder In the Air". And while implementing deceased rappers' vaulted rhymes onto tracks is played out, it still works on "Bring `Em Back", where Fat Joe is teamed up with Big Pun and Big L. There ARE some skippable tracks on here though, like "Terror Era" and the lame "Take Me Home". I'm also wondering if the generic "Yes Dem to Def" was really intended to be on Fat Joe's upcoming album Things of That Nature because he's the only one in that song, and he keeps quoting that album title throughout it. But that brings me to another point. This album really feels more like a compilation than a group effort, because at no point are all five members in the same song, not even during the chorus (The Firm, anyone?). Oh well, this is still a pretty good album from Terror Squad. It's not the best rap I've heard all year, but it's worth picking up. Anthony Rupert" Terror Squad is Terrible Damon J. Byrd | Chesapeake, Virginia United States | 09/24/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "Terror Squad, True Story. This you would expect to be a good album seeing the you have Fat Joe on as the headliner in the group along with Tony Sunshine, Prospect, Armageddon and the new comer Remy. A twelve track record with only two songs that are even worth listneing to. This was a sever dissappointment to the music lovers. The only people I could see buying this would be the die-hard Fat Joe fans or those who just have to have every Terror Squad record. Let's face it, the lead off track, Lean Back, is indeed a good track because it is true. That is exactly what is done in the clubs these days. What is untrue is that every hard core acting woman can rap. I am all for female rappers but Remy is one who should have simply supported the female rappers from afar. The track Yeah, Yeah, Yeah is yeah, yeah, stupid. What the h*#@ is it? Does anyone know? Having Remy in the background repeating the words yeah,yeah, yeah was a waist of time. It's monotenous chours is sicking to the ears. One really has to ask the question, 'Why is Remy there?' 'What is her purpose?' because she does not improve the groups persona at all. True Story, according to Fat Joe, was suppose to bring rap and hip-hop back to the streets of NY where he says it all began. If that is the way it all began then he and the Terror Squad should have picked it up somewhere in the middle so we don't have to relive the embarrasment of rap and hip-hop in its infancy. This album was like your parents showing those embarrasing moments your parents happened to catch when you were little and showing them to the world thinking it is something cute. Let's lock those away and hope they never see the light of day again." T.S. did not disappoint me with True Story Tha Murdah Wun | CANADA | 08/06/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Personally, I think this new album from T.S. is better than the last one. The only reason I think this is that I got bored of the old album. But others might not think like me but this is my opinion. Okay, well T.S. has grown from their last. The beats the rhymes and the songs are just hot. Fat Joe, Remy, Tony, Geddy, Prospect and Armageddon all have their own talents. I think Fat Joe and Remy are the best rappers in this album. I dont really need to say much just go out to your nearest store and buy this album! You will like this rap/hip hop music. Its someting new and different from other rap groups. But Wu Tang is always the best group. They are definitely bringing back real hip hop to the BX and NY.
Ratings: 1. Nothing's Gonna Stop Me 3/5 2. Yeah Yeah Yeah 5/5 This beat his just too good, it pumps me up and Remy just spits on the MIC like crazy. 3. Hum Drum "When the chips are down"... Too good to make a comment for. 4/5 4. Lean Back 5/5 I think yall heard this joint already. And do the rock away, now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back. 5. Take Me Home 5/5 Next single, too hot. This is for the ladies. 6. Streets Of NY 3/5 Tony Sunshine is a pretty good R&B artist. 7. Bring 'Em Back 5/5 All I can say is its hot. The group is at it again with probably the best lyrics on the album. 8. Yes Dem To Def 4/5 9. Pass Away 4/5 Good meaning. Lots of menaing. 10. Let Them Things Go 5/5 Good club anthem. 11. Thunder In The Air 5/5 One of the best beats on the albums, one of my favourite songs. Prospect just spits on the MIC like theres no tomorrow. He's sick on this song. 12. Terror Era 5/5 Hot beat, good joint. Good ending to the album. R.I.P. Big Pun,Big L, Pac, Biggie" |
