The Love Movement

I may be in the minority with this one, but this album from ATCQ I never heard to this day. I've only heard the classic single "Find A Way", but not the entire album. How is the album?

I'm not too crazy about The Bowel Movement

"The Bowel Movement" Terry? I can't be that bad can it?

I like it. You can't go into it with expectations. Let it stand by itself.

Well yes and no. As a stand alone album(which is how all albums should be viewed), it's not horrible, but it's hard not to compare it to their previous efforts.

Certainly not better than Beats, Rhymes, and Life right?

No, it's definitely their worst album.

Not good.. not even ten years later... just kind of boring and blase.. I prefer the love below and 808s and heartbreak to this em-o muff party

I was disappointed by this release as well, but it's far better than Love Below and 808's and Heartbreak.

So, due to the lack of votes, lol, I guess it's safe to say that you all who have commented thus far would not recommend this as a purchase right, new or used?

It's cheap if you buy it used(i know you're picky about that). I would get it for the handful of songs that are dope and if for no other reason to round out your ATCQ discog

Yeah, I never bought this when it came out... just dubbed the library copy, but I saw it for like 2 or 3 bucks in store the other day and picked it up at that price.

Yeah Terry, I'm very selective about buying something used. Of ALL the albums I own, I can probably count the number of "used" albums I've bought on one hand, lol. Rounding out my ATCQ discog would be the reason to purchase this.

It's worth copping for 10 bucks or less. It's their worst album but there's a few good cuts to bump from there.

It is not worth 10 bucks.

What is everyone's rating for this album?

I'd give it around a 2.5

I'm sure we all agree that......

Find A Way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yeah, Find A Way is a classic song... only reason I even bothered to peep the album.

I do remember hearing people say that Find A Way their sole reason for buying the album.

Well at the time it was released, Find A Way was the only single that was out. I copped it because I'm an ATCQ fan. It did come with a bonus disc with remixes and previously unreleased tracks like the Scenario remix, Oh My God remix, and Hot Sex On A Platter among others which made me less mad that I bought it. If you get that version then it's definitely worth 10 bucks regardless of what SRP says.

I'am looking at the one w/ the bonus disc.

I agree. This album is not terrible, it just isn't amazing.

3-3.5

Let me break it down for you Wayne. This CD was so dissapointing, the LIMITED EDITION NEVER SOLD OUT!

That's right - the two disc edition is billed as a limited edition and once it sold out they were going to release a regular edition - that was the business model back then - but it never happened. There is no other version to buy but the 2 disc. It is not worth 10 bucks - unless you just really want to have it in your collection. I would buy a used copy for .4 cents on amazon plus shipping - you could buy 3 at that price for the same 10 bucks and just keep the one in the best condition.

lol

Can't argue those economics, no matter what you think of the album.

Um, mine is a single disc with the bonus tracks

Wow, 4 cents on amazon plus shipping? Like new condition?

Really? Man, maybe they did sell out of the 2-disc then and just never put out a regular. Either way - they got a .4 cent copy in very good condition. Like new is 2 bucks plus shipping.

Here you go Wayne. 2 like new copies for about $1

Thanks Terry.

no problem.

And for the record Wayne, I have nothing personal against this album, I just don't want you spending full price on something with a handful of good songs.

I understand, and I can certainly respect it if someone recommends something in an effort to help save me money, lol.

If you want to complete your Quest discography pick it up Wayne. Just don't expect higher than 3.5 for this IMO. My copy was a single disc with the remixes to Scenario and Jazz. That's the main reason why I copped this one when it was first released.

Lol SRP edited my post, I retaliated. You were simply collateral damage. Sorry

I did not edit any of these posts...smh

You're right. The person who did it revealed themselves. My bad.

I agree with the majority. In all, it's a subpar album. But for a cheap enough price, it's worth it for Find A Way and the Scenario remix alone.
