IS "KILLER" TECH'S BEST ALBUM TO DATE?
- Thread starter underground
- Start date
Absolute Power> Anghellic> Everready> Killer> Calm Before the Storm>MLK>the Worst
That's my personal order. Yes, I included the very first "regional releases," and excluded Vintage Tech (because it contains mostly previously released tracks). If I were to actually list what is actually Tech's best based on beat, lyrics, etc., then it would probably be a much different order.
I voted "no" only because I feel Tech is at his best when he has beef with someone, and can verbally assault them on a track. Killer comes really close..... he has his minor digs at people in Killer, but it's not quite what it has been for Tech in that department. That's why I have always felt Absolute Power as my favorite, and I really dig Anghellic because the overall lyrical content is so good. Both Everready and Absolute Power have one thing in common...... Tracks 13/14 through the end of the album are straight heat. You can also count on at least one track on each album to be highly personal & deep.
There are a lot of much older Tech fans that will always swear that the Calm is Tech's best album, and MLK reminds them a lot of that album... I've heard that more than once.

Welcome Back/Party Hard
I think Everready is like a bridge from the first Tech N9ne music, to the newer Tech N9ne music. Anghellic & Absolute Power were different, but very similar in their overall sound. Then, I see some similarities between Absolute Power and Everready, but not an overwhelming amount of them. I can now see pieces of Everready and Killer being similar.
I know, right! I was really feeling that track, and then I was like, "What... the... fu.....?"
Great production, and then that dude just shit on the beat, forgot to flush, and wiped with his bare hand. That "Dark Side" bullshit did not turn out like I would have thought. Trying to please everyone, I know, but will it really work if the tracks are just.... ehh...? Too many collabos on decent tracks.... and what was up with the crazy, weird talking voice at the beginning and end of "Darkness"? That was completely not necessary. We did not need to be told we were headed to the "Dark Side." That beat was hard enough to grab your attention. That other shit just fucked it up for me. And then "Hope For a Higher Power" was borderline wack for me. Most of ya'll probably like that one, but it's not that great. And then, just when "Psycho Bitch 2" gets really good, it implodes......
Disc one was saved at the end by "Poisonous" and "Too Much for Ya." :eyecross:Oh I enjoy it, don't get me wrong. But I've been a fan for waaaay too long to NOT over-analyze this CD. It's just feedback, that's all.
I think it's his most "mature" work. All of his talents he'd been working on over the years came together. Great balance...not "too dark" like Anghellic can be (don't get me wrong...it's perfect when you're in the mood for it) and not "too fun" like AP or Killer can be (*cough*Sextion).
