Takes some effort to get into..........2006-06-26

The same group that dropped one of the best albums of '92 (Tricks of the shade) return 2 years later with a release, that unfortunately takes some effot to get into. The reason for this; unlike Tricks of the shade, there is very much a Rock/Metal influence throughout "No Goats, No Glory" that really, for me, sounds awkward and out of place especially with the solid lyrics & flows. It just doesn't sound right. Similarly, although some essence of their political vibe is still here, alot of no goats no glory focuses alot on blunts & ridiculous concepts that imply lack of direction. However, despite this the tracks "Wake N Bake", "The Boom", "Mutiny", "Lincoln Drive", "Blind With Anger" and "Times Runnin Up" are undoubtedly great tracks that maintain the album's overall worth from becoming a total waste of time.
Although I appreciate the kind of vibe that the goats were aiming for with this short album (EP), I still believe that it has not done them any justice and if anything will turn away listeners before "grabbing" them in. A disapointment for those looking for the same group that came out with the essential classic "Tricks of the shade". Pick that up first. PEACE!

Lyrics - 8/10
Beats - 5/10 (6 tracks ; great, 5; not so great)
Replay Value - 5/10 (very short and just under half not worth listening to)

Overall - 54% = 3/3.5 Stars!

illadelph's finest.......2005-09-09

Best lyrics of any rap group period. most creative, thoughout rhymes that actually meant something, whether is was burning right wing conservatives, stomping dumb bigots, or simply blazing to start the day. "No Goats, No Glory" may not have been the "theme album" that their 1st - "Tricks of The Shade" was...but it was a better showcase of the band behind them, that made them the best live rap group I have ever seen. I grew up in Philly at the time when the Goats and the Roots were just breaking ground, and used to see them at clubs like Doc Watsons and the Trocadero, great period to be living in philly. Goats are still my favorite rap group, and they only made 2 albums. If you can find it...1 of the 2 MC's - MADD Max...released an album with his own band "Incognegro" - self titled album, it is my favorite rap album of all time. can't say enough about these guys. The Goats ARE hardcore rap.

p.s. to the guy from Kansas City who gave this 1 star...your comments make no sense.

No Goats, No Glory.......2004-10-12

this is easily one of the best hip hop albums ever.

This is to elevating the fusion of jazz,turntable(ism),rap and rock (shlock) as Kid Rock (shlock) is to elevating the human race. Jack off all trades......master of wack.
