I first heard this album my freshman year in college back in 96 and couldn't stop playing it. Strange and Recognized Thresholds of Negative Stress were my jams. Also, get the Honeydips in Gotham Remix if you can. I got the 12" which has two remixes on it - the one played on the video and an alternate remix. Gosh, I'm getting old. Anyway, a few years later I found a copy at a pawn shop for $3 and it was and still is in mint condition. Sonically, this album is a masterpiece and the music has an otherworldly ... Read More
Rating: - Let Me Rip It To A Slow Jam (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5.0 stars)
I find this LP real fun to listen to. The Boogiemonster's (Vex, Mondo, Yodared, and Myntric) first LP Riders Of The Storm: The Underwater Album, has those early 90's vibes that are real easily to listen to. The track "Jugganouts" really has that nostalgic sound, which is a good thing for me. Me, also, who has little or no interest in religous topics when it comes to hip hop, can listen to "Mark Of The Beast" and "The Old Man Jacob's Well" easily. I mean, these guys flow perfectly, with absolutely no profanity. ... Read More
Rating: - Imaginative and refreshing.
I remember seeing the video to 'positive thresholds of neagtive stress' on MTV raps in 1994, just before the album dropped, but due to limited availability in the muisc stores I forgot all about it for 11 years.
Obviously with the Internet allowing very easy accessibilty to all music, I checked out the whole album over a year ago and did not hesitate to buy a copy. It is one of the more complex, creative and dynamic albums, which at first is almost too overwhelming to take in straight away, due to ... Read More
Rating: - I'M NO HYPOCRATE!!!
AS SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT GO TO CHURCH, AND REALLY HAD NO SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, I FELT THAT THIS WAS A REFRESHING ALTERNATIVE TO THE RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA WE ARE USED TO BEING TOLD. BY THAT I MEAN, WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING WHAT IS TRUE OR NOT, YOU HAVE TO SIT THERE IN CHURCH, AND BE TOLD SOMETHING BY SOMEONE WHO WAS NOT THERE.
I AM ALSO NOT SAYING THAT THIS RAP GROUP WAS THERE, BUT THEY TELL YOU THESE STORIES OF WORSHIP, WITHOUT BEING PREACHY, AND IN YOUR FACE, ABOUT MODERN DAY PROBLEMS. THEY USE TODAY'S ... Read More

yeah, no one here is lying.. this album is the $#!T
and is on my list of all time classics!
the fact that yodared and myntric left for ?religious reasons
baffles me, cuz they coulda done that on follow ups,
and i woulda still followed as long as it was delivered properly.
anyway, enuff of that bitching & moaning..
let's get back to the perpetual freshness that is at hand.
at the time, everything that these guys were about, i understood..
