This was the first album I heard from the group Atmosphere. I saw the music video for the track Guarantees and fell in love. I don't know how many times I have listened to this album, but its safe to say that it is probably too much. I like this style of hip hop where its smart, not all about how good you are at rhyming or what you are doing at the club. Each song is a look into someone's life, sometimes his own, sometimes a child, sometimes a single mother. It really shows the struggles people go through on a daily basis. Slug is great at creating lyrics that convey that story and really paint a picture. Ant makes some really great beats in this that are very different than a lot of other stuff out there. I got really into this group for a while this year, but have still missed what a lot consider to be their best album "Lucy Ford" which is on my list much later on. I can't wait to come that one.
