State of Psychopathic

[LuckyNumbrXIII]

I have to say, I am impressed.

I read a recent interview with Twiztid, and basically they said that Psychopathic is no longer run by the artists. This gives the artists time to concentrate on the music, and music alone.

The result is, in my opinion, the best music that has come from Psy in a very long time. I feel like every artist's most recent album is their best. Death Pop is my favorite ICP, Abominationz is my favorite Twiztid, Gang Rags is my favorite Blaze, Medicine Bag is my favorite ABK, Opaque Brotherhood... dunno if it's my favorite Lotus, but at least it sounds different. Boondox and AMB are gone (thank god). Cold 187um is a cool concept, and the music is good... but not sure if you can count this as a new album... more like a mixtape, I suppose. I dunno about you guys, but I felt like for a while all the albums were exactly the same. The production was the same, the beats sounded the same... now every artist has their distinctive, signature sound.

Has anyone here actually given the last few albums an honest listen? Or do you just skip around, listen to the first 30 seconds of a track based on the title, and write it off? I feel like if you listened to the albums straight through, you could actually enjoy it all.

Anybody?
