I thought it was solid. They touched on a few different topics, beats were different and good, and they both brung it on every track. It's gotten better as I listened to it a few times. So it has replay value, and its an EP so that's good. Overall a good project. Definitely makes me wanna hear the LP.

^ Yeah this definitely made their debut LP for Strange more desirable (for a lack of a better word). Not that I wasnt looking forward to it anyways.

I was disappointed.  I haven't bought it and I'm not sure that will. I think with the exception of 2 songs they were all pretty boring.  For me they lack the ability to stay on a steady topic it seems like they kind of just throw random shit in there verses;  Whereas Tech N9ne, and the rest of the crew can paint a clear pictures with words to tell a story.  They're just not for me i think and its a shame because i like both of their voices.  Just my opinion no reason to get butt-hurt for any of big time Ces fans.

I kinda agree, after Colosseum and Klick Clack Bang I thought it was gonna be awesome front to back, but there were a few tracks where the beat and/or hook kinda lost me. But I still liked most of it, Tempus Fugit, Colusseum, Klick Clack Bang, Peter Parker and Time Is Now are all dope imo. It's Over is good, I like the verses for One Bomb State (except Info Gates), but I didn't really like the beat or chorus, so I'll probably end up skipping that song. I don't really like the hook for Livin' Life either. But I definitely think Thrift Store Halos was consistently great so compared to that, 13 isn't as consistent imo. Still a good EP though, don't regret buying it, can't wait for an LP.

I feel you but I don't think comparing Ces to Mayday is fair lol. i personally loved this EP. only listened to it once full threw so far but i look at it like, they're still developing their skills and this is just an EP. for their first Strange release, it left wanting more from them so mission accomplished.

I actually enjoyed 13 more than Thrift Store Halos. However I really liked Take Me To Your Leader. I think after listening to 13 a few more times "Time is Now" is probably my favorite track.

Why isn't it fair to compare them?  Honestly i think they have the most justification to be compared, they are the only Strange Music 'Groups', and they both have two Emcees.

Yeah I understand it's not the fairest comparison, but I'm just saying, I thought that Thrift Store Halos was more consistent, I'm not trying to compare the music itself, just the consistency of it, I know most everyone on Strange has the ability to put together a consistently dope EP, but like I said, it's still worth the money and I'm happy with it. But yeah, Ubi & Godemis have great chemistry, but are still dope when solo, I'm looking forward to any future releases from Ces Cru, whether it's solo or as a group

REALLY!?  Well i guess Thrift Store Halos did have two per-released songs, 5 new tracks. 13 had what 8 new tracks?  The only thing about thrift store halos that i didn't like was the 1 minute and 30 second intro to Amnesia.
