Skull And Bones

The Source (6/00, pp.218-20) - 3.5 mics out of 5 - "...May be their most drastic turn yet....Cypress' flavor runs thick across the disc....They break down the barriers in order to transcend the industry-imposed terms of alternative and rap....another set for the weeded."
Vibe (6/00, p.223) - "...Marks the first major shift in the group's direction....Half of [the album] is a head-banging jam session....Songs like '(Rap) Superstar' prove that the group still has that winning formula..."
Rap Pages (6/00, p.42) - "...May be the best album you hear for the next 2 years....[it] is so artistically good that it [will] stay inyour personal rotation..."
Rolling Stone (5/11/00, p.132) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A bipolar breakdown....proving hip-hop is more like T2...capable of morphing into anyone they wanna be."
Mojo (6/00, p.113) - "...Finds them sticking a finger in the air and finding the wind blowing in the direction of thrash-metal..."
NME (4/29/00, p.33) - 7 out of 10 - "...Picks up where the groggy metal/rap melange of '98s CYPRESS HILL IV left off....It's business as usual....They do hip-hop and they do funk-metal rawk....evolving slowly..."
CMJ (5/1/00, p.23) - "...Proves rather convincingly that Cypress Hill still packs a mighty punch."
