It's kind of weird to call your second album The End, but whatever. The greatness of this album totally overshadows any nitpicking of the title. It certainly picks up right where Mystic Stylez left off. It's got that same creepy vibe, yet is far better produced. The album kicks off with "Stomp" - a track that samples the theme song from Unsolved Mysteries and carries all the creepy cache that said theme song might carry. It's haunting and spooky and impressive and dope. It's also an excellent way to start things up. The record moves along and manages to never sound overlong even at 17 tracks. The well thought-out sequencing plays a big role in this. "Late Night Tip" is another eerie track with fantastic back-and-forth between Gangsta Boo and Lord Infamous. "Walk Up 2 Yo House" makes you feel like these guys are insane - in a good way. Later on Project Pat shows up on "Where Da Killaz Hang," a track that makes a stray Master P lyric sound like the most demented thing you've ever heard. It slowly makes your head nod, but also makes you feel kind of nervous at the same time. Three 6 is great at making these kinds of schizophrenic tracks. The album closes with the one-two punch of "The End," an instrumental that could very well be a horror movie score, and "Life Or Death" a Killa Klan Kaze track that heavily features snippets of Makavelli's "Hail Mary" slowed down for ultimately macabre-ness. Whereas many artists can only hope to avoid the sophomore slump, Three 6 Mafia has managed to follow up their debut with a record that is absolutely stunning.
