It was a good album, for sure. I never have liked two-disc albums because I am always switching discs, it seems. It hasn't been one of those CDs like Absolute Power for me, where all I do is listen to it. I think my reason is a different one; I'm at a different age and time now. Absolute Power came out at just the right time for myself. The anticipation for trying to make Absolute Power blow-up big time, and the constant news from that time frame made everything go so well.
Absolute Power is not Tech's best, but it is my favorite, even though I love Anghellic & Everready. They all have their good points. Killer seems to be off in its own world. Not saying that's bad, but it is different. Everready was the beginning of this, but it wasn't as noticeable until now. There was Anghellic & Absolute Power, released a year apart. Then there was a 4+ year wait between albums. Everyone expected Everready to sound like the previous two, but this was not quite the case. Now, two years later, it has progressed even more. You can tell the difference; it's there.
My least favorite song has to be the one with KMK & Hed P.E. Tech's part was cool, but then the rest just made me want to eject the CD out the window. Then I came to my senses, and just skipped that track all together. Also, Psycho Bitch II with Liquid Assassin sucked ass, too. How you gonna have this dude tell us about some psycho bitches? If they were going to use someone else, at least use Grant Rice, or someone that played a part with all that original Anghellic shit. Not the whole thing sucked, but definitely he part with Liquid Assassin. The beat was real good in keeping with the original, but also adding some new flavor.
I will say that the "Sexion" was ok after all. I was thinking it was going to be some graphic ass shit like Sex Out South, but it was far better then I anticipated.
Overall, the beats are by far the best Tech has ever assembled. They all sounded so crisp. Somehow, Tech has managed on every album to avoid multiple songs that have the same basic beat (such as Eminem or Timberland beats).
