When Hello Nasty was released, it was the first time I was slightly disappointed with them. There's some great songs on there, but as an album it was lacking. It was way too long and it had a few bad songs on there. It was the first time I would skip tracks...

So when TT5B first came out, I remember being slightly disappointed again. Some of the songs sounded too preachy and it didn't feel like a "classic" album that I was hoping for (especially after waiting 6 years).

Now all these years later... I love TT5B! The only 3 tracks that I skip are (Right Right Now Now, Time to Build, and All Lifestyles). If they cut those 3 and just released the other 12, it would have been a classic album just like their first 4. The rest of the songs hold up really well and just like Paul's Boutique, I think it was ahead of its time.

Im always wanting arists to cut tracks to make for a non skip album but l love all lifestyles and right right now now, just shows people have different tastes when they like the same artist

That's funny. All three tracks he suggests cutting are also my favorite three on the record.

I'd only cut the last 2 songs, even though I like them. I think they would ahve made better b-sides. TGNATU, NGB and BSE are all miles better than those last two tracks.

To each his own, indeed.

I was disappointed at the time too, not that TMU was bad, quite the opposite. But it had been so long, I just wanted a rap album from them at that time.

For a while I was taking my favs from TT5B and TMU and mixing them up, to make a more diverse album.
