The Green Book

by

Twiztid

Edit

this is a great cd, while not their best (belonging to "mostasteless" in my opinion,) definately their second best. this is a basic break down of the album i've put together:

THE GREEN BOOK: ?/10

-the intro is normally skipped over unless it's the first time you listen to the cd... so yeah, it's pretty much unrateable.

ON THE OTHER END: 9/10

-the beat to this is really strange, and the end is pretty "the wraith-y" (ICP,) but paul's verse completely makes up for anything.

WHITE TRASH WIT TAT-2'S: 8/10

-a pretty good song, it's completely original, because they aren't bragging about how flashy their teeth are, but what they really are deep on the inside.

AFRAID OF ME: 9/10

-the deepness in this song is completely jaw-dropping. one of the few, along with "wrong with me" and "i'm alright." the piano in the beat is a pretty cool touch.

WONDERING WHY? (WITH MIKE E. CLARK): 10/10

-the best song on this cd, if not tying with others as their best song ever. M.E.C. completely schools the beat, and this alone is proof that ICP should've made up their differences with him and never left.

CALL ME: 6/10

-the only skit on the album, so it automatically gets bumped down, mostly skipped through, but it's kind of funny.

I'M THE ONLY 1 (WITH SHAGGY 2 DOPE): 8/10

-though i've never really liked twiztid's songs like this, this is probably their best yet, since it's not just defiling women, but trashing ones who sleep around.

SPECULATIONZ (WITH E-40): 7/10

-the chorus to this song is un-beatable. but like many of the other non-psychopathic guest artists, e-40 just doesn't match twiztid's intensity, and takes alot out of it.

THE WORLD IS HELL (WITH ESHAM): 9/10

-probably the best guest appearance on the album, esham holds his own with twiztid. the beat is alot better than the original version released on twiztid.com. raw lyrics.

NIKATEEN: 7/10

-not meaningful to me, since i'm straight-edge, but paul completely holds it for his health-hazardous hobby. maybe if it had been a little longer it could've been better.

U DON'T WANNA B LIKE ME: 9/10

-one of the best songs on the cd, it's similar to the old HoK sound. the metaphors and style are/is great.

SERIAL KILLA (WITH TECH N9NE): 9/10

-the beat sounds like some older ICP stuff, tech n9ne actually does a good job, even though the name game deal isn't really my thing. another one of the best on the cd.

MARSH LAGOON (WITH VIOLENT J): 5/10

-a good song, just not on a twiztid album. it reminds me of some dark lotus. and the chorus is about horrible. sorry, joe.

BOBBY'S DAD: 8/10

-a really "freek show" sounding song. tons of distorted guitars in there, and the acoustic break down at the end is pretty cool. though kind of repetative, still a good song.

HYRDO (WITH LAZY-BONE): 8/10

-though again, not my thing since i'm straight-edge, a good song about one of twiztid's hobbies. lazy-bone's verse is decent, and the beat is pretty addicting.

FRANKENSTEIN (WITH COLTON GRUNDY): 8/10

-really addicting chorus. when i first got this cd i was singing it at random times for a week straight. blaze should be proud that he atleast left the fans with this before leaving. though not one of the best on the cd, one of my favorites.

EVERYBODY DIEZ (WITH ABK & BUSHWICK BILL): 4/10

-i can't really say i like this song at all. twiztid's verses are ok, but the chorus is horrible, bushwick's verse is kind of wack, and any time abk does a compilation, with his higher-pitched voice he sounds pretty weak. probably the worst on the cd.

FAT KIDZ: 7/10

-jamie putting it down for the kids with dinner rolls under their arms. the line "hey yo, fat people are hard to kidnap" is un-beatable.

HOM-SHA-BOM: 9/10

-another one of the best. for some reason it really reminds me of "echo side" by ICP. though a completely different premise, really good story telling, really great beat, good rhyming and a good chorus.

DARKNESS: 7/10

-a good song, another deep one. but the fact that both verses are virtually unchanged kind of takes the quality out of it. good guitars, and surprisingly decent singing by both.

OVERALL: 147/190
