''true hip-hop heads long for the day when commercial rap no longer appeals to the masses. when mc's go back to the days were talent received radio play. only the expertly crafted rhymes and raw beats were the catalyst of a respectable career.
although we may never again reach this point, it's good to know that we can always pull 'nocturnal' from the vault and dwell on the underground talent the defined good music. although most of the beats of the album are simple, what is significant is the fact that dru ha, evil dee and buckshot did a great job of matching these beats to the lyrical flow of ruck and rock.
the album can be played from beginning to end with virtually no weak tracks. 'letha brainz blow,' a real head bangin' track is an example of how the beat and the rhymes compliment each other seamlessly. 'who dat?' is an extremely slow track in which the raps almost seem freestyle.
when comparing tracks like these on the album to mainstream tracks today, it is obvious that the hip-hop's golden years have passed. it's difficult to determine who the better mc is (ruck or rockness) but that just forces you to listen to the whole album. and still no determination can be made. i recommend this album to people who can appreciate the underground, let the madness begin!'' - joe borello ''jbore26''
