this era is kind of their peak as a live band. Cedric was at his best and the band sounded tight as shit.

here they just aren't the same and I can sense a lot of band tension.

Nigga you are crazy. The songs on this album are so much better live. They are overproduced as fuck here and live, they are more raw

ya the videos of them playing this stuff live were incredible. Cedric's vocals were so on point. production on this is good. i'm not crazy about Park's drumming, Pridgen and Theodore were better.

Deantoni Parks' drumming is OK but I hate how he overuses the god damn high hat and it just ruins the songs. especially on the title track.

yeah pridgen wouldn't have been as good on here. then again, pridgen never really tries to suit the music around him, he just kinda sets his arms on fire and goes ham.

I disagree about them losing their touch in later years. This extended "trinkets pale the moon" jam really says otherwise. Unexpectedly intense.
