Welcome To Strangeland Review
Hey all, the album will be coming out tomorrow which I am very excited for, however I have not heard all the songs yet. So I would just like to know everyones input on the album. Either an overall album review or a track by track. Heres my review of the album... Thanks
Review
Stars: 8/10: The hook is pretty cool and I love the intro. I also enjoyed listening to the verses as they were both fast and medium paced. Overall a great start to the album.
Welcome to Strangeland: 7/10: This song is pretty cool as I loved the chorus and the music, it went quite well.
Unfair: 8.5/10: I was really excited for this song due to the teaser video. However, it didn't live up to the expectations I had. Although, it was a good song with great chorus but the verses were meh.
Kocky: 6/10: this song is just a bit weird. The verses were good but the chorus just ruined the song...
Who Do I Catch Now: 9/10: Awesome song, defiantly one of the top 3 of the whole album. The BET verse just flows so well and the chorus is catchy ;).
My Favourite: 7/10: The beat is really good, but the chorus is a bit weird at first, but it will soon grow in you.
Retrogression: 10/10: I my personal opinion, this song is the best in the whole album. The beat is very chill and everything is just about perfect about this song.
Bang Out: 8/10: This song by 816 Boyz is a lot more better than Pu Wah Wah on TGMP. The chorus is quite good and I love that chicks voice in the background during the chorus.
Beautiful Music: 8.5/10: Quite disappointed that this was a pre-order track and apart of the regular album. However this song is great, Krizz is awesome on the chorus.
Won't You Come Dirty: 9.5/10: Am I the only one that loves this song. The chorus is really good and I love the Darth Vadar breathing throughout the song.
Sad Cirus: 8/10: Song is good. Brotha Lynch Hung did great and tech did well aswell. Chorus is quite soothing.
The Noose: 8.5/10: This song is quite good due to its story about the troops. Another Mayday track which is a stand out of the album.
Slave: 9/10: The flow of this song is really good. The chorus done by Krizz again which is always a good thing. Also Kutt Calhoun did his verse very well.
Overwhelming: 10/10: Awesome song, I love everything about it, through the verses and chorus and even the so...so...so!
Gods: 9.5/10: The chorus is awesome. All the verses were great. Also this track i believe Tech stood out more.
Extra Tracks
I Need A Drink: 9/10: The best bonus track, such a catchy song. Also it was different too the whole album.
The Real Thing: 5/10: I tried my best to love this song, but i just cant stand her voice. It will soon grow onto me, but for now it become the worst song of the whole album.
EMJ: 8/10: This song is getting a lot of hate which i find very strange. I just love this song because most of the strange crew is on it. I also like the story behind it, which is true, right?
Road Rage: 7/10: This song is like the Stress Relief of WTSL. The song is ok, but nothing special.
Overall, I think this ablum is one of the best Tech N9ne Collabo album to date, just ahead of Sickology 101. As for best Tech N9ne album... hell no. Everready and All 6's and 7's are still my favourite Tech albums. Welcome to Strangeland is still a very good album as it has NO FILLERS, I never have to skip a song (maybe The Real Thing occasionally if I cant handle her voice). The album is full of top songs and has a better overall feeling compared to A6&7. I might add more stuff or change a few ratings as I listen to it more.
Welcome to Strangeland: 9/10

And I think thats crazy
James Franco said:Unfortunately, I completely agree with pretty much everything you just said. I really haven't felt that he put his heart into his music since K.O.D.
Pimpalicious Mc Dees Nuts said:All 6's and 7's didn't meet my expectations at all but this album i had my expectations set low and it didn't disappoint but, its far from his best album even far from his best collabo's album. For some reason i just don't get that same vibe from Tech's new music as i did his old stuff maybe it's personal taste, or i don't know if others feel the same way but Tech just isn't making songs that really touches you deeply or you can relate to anymore (the exception of The Noose). It's just less emotion I mean I just don't get the same vibe that his old shit had even his hard ass songs ain't got shit on einstein or riotmaker etc. I just think Tech's heart is not really in it no more, he's not as hungry as he used to be. If Tech drops another album like A6's and 7's or WTSL I might just stop listening to his new stuff, because it's just a mere fraction of how good his old music is.

I agree with you on several points weis. There are some dope tracks on sickology, but some of them I skip pretty much every time.
I also don't have everready as high on my list either. Its got some great tracks, but anghellic and ap top it imo.
As for what tech cd is best, I have a very hard time ordering them. I love wts. I would agree that it is more consistent than the other collabos.
I wouldn't go so far as to say techs heart aint in it. I think that he has been in somewhat of a rush to drop new shit. I feel 6s and 7s could have been better if a little more time was put into it.
I just hope he takes his time with kabosh. That is next right, after kluster fuck?

thank you zee. all 6's and 7's was on another level.WTSL is close to it. techs music gets better as he grows in my opinion. "tech doesn't go mainstream, mainstream goes tech"
zee said:i don't agree wit ya 2 cents,i'm a part of this people who think that tech gets better albums after albums

Wow; you really have no idea about music at all. Gates is horrible, MLK was average, Sickology is one of this best albums PERIOD.
WtS? Aaaaverage at best. What has happened to Kali? Vitiligo was PERFECT (bar the skits), but he's been slowly going down hill with every album - Hip-Pop? WTF is he thinking? Really getting sick of him doing the hooks on EVERY song. Getting old real fast.
EDIT: Also; I LOVE Tech & Strange, but what in the FUCK are all these songs bragging about being better than everyone and being kocky? Guys, you are UNDERGROUND AS FUCK!! You guys claiming to be 'on top' are like ICP saying that they're bigger than Chris Brown. (No, I don't like Chris Brown one little bit, but he's popular as fuck and knows how to sell music & gain fans.)
Also, making film clips like "Who Do I Catch" are NOT going to win you any new fans. Tech claims that he's not a devil or a devil worshiper and I tell EVERYONE who's not into Tech as much as I am, and then he goes and makes a film clip dressed up with makeup on like ICP & Twisted. If you want to gain new fans like you say you do, SORT YOUR SHIT OUT! You've already got the juggalos as fans; you don't have to try to impress them anymore (and you certainly don't want any MORE as fans. No offence juggalos).
Best songs on Welcome to Strangeland:
- Stars
- Unfair
- Retrogression
- Slave
& maybe EMJ

Lol at Real Things being the worst song.. 9.0/10 the chorus is musically mesmerizing and Tech spit it real quick telling people in this industry they are they are a real force in the industry with no gimmicks or tricks. Real Things, Cult Leader are two great hits,Why? because Suwandi is showcasing she should be Lady Strange. She showed something on this album to me, and she has done a few songs now for tech.

wow you must not listen or understand techs lyrics or his message at all. its not about fitting in to "mainstream". its all about doing you and not giving a fuck what other people think. maybe they aren't popular in the industry but fuck the industry, FTI baby. lyrically they are on top whether the industry knows it or not. Tech has done pretty well for being underground don't you think? Why should he go mainstream just to get fans? fuck that. im no juggalo or devil worshiper...far from it but Who Do I Catch video was bad as fuck.
