Ill Bill/DJ Muggs "Kill Devil Hills"

This album pretty much came and went without much discussion. Surprising since it was so highly anticipated. I still haven't heard it because i'm waiting to buy it and just started a new job, so funds have been low and will be for another 2 weeks or so. What's the verdict? How's the production? Is it a top 5 album of the year candidate? Thanks for any feedback.

I was(am) personally unimpressed

I feel like we talked about this album A LOT. You guys only pay attention to certain threads, apparently.

Well, the threads were inconsistent. Most of the talk around this album occured in the chat box.

Production is incredible. If you're a Muggs stan such as myself, you will be pleased. I will say the drawback to the album is Ill Bill. He's not in top form, and the guests tend to be more memorable. He's not wack by any means, but he's definitely been better. Also, the length of the tracks is an annoyance to some people too, but it doesn't bother me too much.

I don't see the problem with Bill on this album. He has some of the best hooks in his career on this album.

It doesn't sound like anything else he's done. maybe I'll like it more after getting used to it.

this album needs to be talked about more, its top 3 of the year right now

People are bitches Slang so they choose not to talk about it. It's still one of my favorite albums of the year.

I didn't really like it all that much which is why I don't talk about it....

Guess that's why you don't fuck with me.

I'll be recieving it soon, can't wait.

dn't really care for it at first, myself. I'd say it will fall right around the 10 spot so far this year. 2010 has been the best year in quite awhile.

i dont know what you're listening to. The beats here are crazy, Muggs really outdid himself experimenting with sounds/patterns i havent realy herd him do, the drum programming is literally next level shit. I wont lie at first Ill Bill sounded off but the more i listen he fits this shit to a T. He basically bodies every track, the one exception being Trouble Shooters where he sounds slightly off compared to everyone else, but besides that no complaints from me about Bill's performance. Also, i agree with Jeff that he does have good hooks on here.

At first I didn't listen to this accurately, even if I'm a huge fan of the DJ Muggs vs series. At the end of the day this is classic Muggs material, his production is crazy dope and I think he's much better in these project than in late Cypress Hill releases. Ill Bill is a great Mc, so the fit is perfect. The title cut is a banger, seems like a gem from the nineties era, but I really enjoyed every track there.

yea i love this album, top 3-5 from last yr
