This album was EVERYWHERE in ‘96. You couldn’t escape it! MTV had the videos for “Ready or Not” and “Killing Me Softly” heavy rotation. I’m not complaining, though; “The Score” is very near perfection. I could do without all the skit interludes, but doing that kind of thing was kind of en vogue then, for some reason (there’s a bunch on “The Chronic”, too). Not every song on this album is a 100% banger, either. “The Beast” and “Cowboys” being the weakest tracks on the album. Four stars is the rating here but the more accurate score (pun intended) would be 4.5.
