can't wait for this one... features and production top notch

This and Demigodz "Killmatic" are the albums I'm anticipating the most. 7L, Deck, Cappa & Vinnie on the same track?

Shit...if this is anything short of magnificent it will be a disappointment. I have a really good feeling about the length tho. 14 tracks seems just about the right length for the whole fucking album to be non-stop dopeness. I bet they wanted Ghost to feature on It's Raw but maybe his kid had a birthday party or some shit so they brought in Bronson...lol.

Decks solos have been average since his debut. Manifesto was decent I suppose. I'm expecting this to be somewhere in the 4.5 - 5 range

Add Ill Bill, Planet Asia & Gensu Dean, Trinity, Durag Dynasty & Alchemist to that list for me

pre-order it here, total after shipping is like $12 and change...deluxe version too

Deck has released strictly average solo efforts since he started releasing them including Manifesto which I have at 3.50 stars and has absolutely NO replay value whatsoever...I haven't heard that effort since I bought it...lol

Deck is way better in the group setting...that's when he writes and spits like his life depended on it and normally it does when trying to deal with all those WU-TANG spitters on the same track...if he wants to get noticed then he's got to spit with charisma, style and substance all of which he terribly lacks on his solo efforts....this one will NOT be a blind buy for me by any means necessary.....

hmmm Czarface is a group project...he's way better in a group setting so wouldn't that make this a blind buy according to your post??????

I aggree. His solo albums has a missing ingredient. One drawback is his production choice. Even U-God and Masta Killah got better beats. But I feel with 7L on the boards this will be a good album

this is a group album and i cant wait.

i agree on Deck;s solos except Uncontrolled Substance, i absolutely love that album, listen to it all the time, its a classic for me

Everything i've heard from the album has been dope.

I'm downloading it now.

hoping my pre-order arrives today. i'm expecting a solid 4.5 album at least.

Ive given it 1 spin. And its kinda what I expect. I tell you this album sounds better when your just listens to the samples cause your imigination is running wild on how great the album could be. On alot of songs INS sounds slightly hoarse similiar to how Sean P on Master P sounded.. Its just a small gripe. Esoteric lyrics were high octane--dude was spittin' as far as INS he just didn't bring his A Game...still his lyrical prowlness was better than most cats. Ghost Face and Cappadonna kicked dope verses but Vinnie's rhyme was trash. As far as the beats they are crazy. It has a 70's punkand 80's boom-bap feel. I can see this being top 10 material.

This album is dope. I agree Deck could've put forth more heat, but he delivers on a few tracks I've heard so far. I also agree this has Top 10 potential.

Just finishing this up now. This album does everything right.

7L is at his best... just incredible production. Esoteric delivers, probably some of his better verses, but mostly I'd say consistent to his usual. Deck really only drops a few verses that aren't up to par.

I won't be putting this down for awhile.

CzarFace gets better as you listen to it but it just lacks something. Its a cool album you can just listen all the the way through w/o skipping a track. I think all collaboration album have that missing ingredient. Random Ax, The UnderGodz, Heavy Metal Kings (this album has really wore thin in sort a period of time) all have something just missing. I would say CzarFace is better than said albums and better than any INS album except for Uncontrolled Substance.

This is an incredible album, I think that 7L is the Mvp right here. He created sounds very similar to RZA '93/'95 style, and the Esoteric/Deck team work very well in particular it was a long time that Deck hasn't been on point like that. He kills nearly every track. I agree, this is a great album, but somethin's missing...not a perfect 5, but very close.

Samples sound pretty good, I'm definitely gonna get this.

this is really dope, Deck outshines Eso on most of it, production is on fuckin point

I heard the first 6 tracks on Spotify. So far. so good......

This is a dope album from what I heard. Spun it once and very nice for what it is.

I'm fucking loving this joint right here. I really wasn't expecting this style of production from 7L, I thought he was gonna set the tone with his usual style (which would have been dope too). It was a pleasant surprise tho. I agree he was channeling a bit of early RZA, and a bit of Doom too, IMO. I loved the use of the wrestling samples too, I always love Nature Boy's rants, lol. As was already said, I also thought there was a little something missing keeping it from classic status but its easily a 4.5 for me and way out front as best album so far this year.

Best album of the year so far 4.5/5

This album is the dopest of 2013 so far for me too. 4.25/5, I was disappointed in Demigodz (I wasn't really feeling it...) and pretty much everything else to drop this year so far, I'm just waiting for The Maven and 12 Reasons to Die to drop at this point.

Does anyone else get uncomfortable when there isn't a single anticipatable [sic] mainstream album in the works??

lol... you just said Doris is gonna be the best OF to date. Pretend all you want, but that shit's mainstream.

I think OF is mainstream to some degree while they don't have the mainstream style or sound but they were able to reach many people and put them up there as a group/rappers the media will report on. Also Frank Ocean is another factor that plays a factor into their mainstreamness imo but as far as lyrical content and beats would be concerned I can't them being mainstream (Wolf/Doris at least)

Okay, but it's not huge. Earl's not a household name or anything close. I guess I meant big time artists like Jay-Z and shit.
