TECH N9NE - WELCOME TO STRANGELAND

TECH N9NE
COLLABOS - WELCOME TO STRANGELAND
2011


1. Stars
Excellent opener. Sick beat
and Tech flows his ass off. 
The 2nd verse is sick.
Nice concept and hook. 5/5
2. Welcome to Strangeland
You'd expect this as first track
but having heard Stars you know
what's up and this speaks to the
creativity put into this. Dope as! 5/5
3. Unfair
Flows smoothly after the previous track
and yet another sick beat with crazy
melodies and a sinister Tech. 
Man this is good stuff right here. 5/5
4. Kocky
Knockin beat with tight features and
a catchy hook. Typical? Maybe, but it's
still a Tech N9ne joint. 5/5
5. Who Do I Catch
Tech used the first verse for his rap
on the 2011 BET Cypher. On this beat
i get it and it makes it even better. 
One of my favourite tracks of the alb. 5/5
6. My Favourite
You have to be really into it to capture
this track to it's full potential. When you do
it's pretty dope, otherwise it's a so so track.
Brotha Lynch is always nice though. 
Still not a fan of the hook. 3.5/5
7. Retrogression
Back to business, this track is tech sick.
Mayday adds to it and overall it's got a 
really tight flow and feel. 5/5
8. Bang Out
This kills your speakers, Dwam!
Nice club banga. 4.5/5
9. Beautiful Music
I would'nt call this beautiful per se, 
but it is greastness nonetheless. 
Love the kick play and tech goes off
all over it. What i'm talkin bout. 5/5
10. Won't You Come Dirty
Just like My Favourite, this one is out
there with a weird slow beat. It works
though and i'm hooked. Original. 
Nice to see Young Bleed feature. 
And Stevie Stone always pulls it off. 4.5/5
11. Sad Circus
My god, this is my favourite without a doubt.
Even better featuring Brotha Lynch Hung.
From the getgo the music pulls you in. 
Straight dope and creates such a mood 5/5
12. The Noose
Wow, just wow. Mayday is great once again.
This track makes you just sit there and listen.
Tech is just amazing on this slower than slow
beat and compliments in every way. 5/5
13. Slave
With a title like that and Krizz and Kutt featuring
you know it's that crack. Everything top notch. 5/5
14. Overwhelming
Not truly a fan of this one, but still nice overall  3.5/5
15. Gods
Omnipotent. That sums it up. Great closure to the alb.
Doesn't hold that much of a punch, but still... 4.5/5

Like I said before, this is more like a Tech solo album
and a follow-up to K.O.D. The whole album has a great
sound and flow throughout. Not sure this is for everyone,
but for the real fans, this is a must and heaps better than
The Gates Mixed Plate. I Love Tech. Period.
Overall Score: 9/10
