I thought this was a pretty cool album. I think the Pharcyde was one of the first real alternative hip-hop acts -- ignoring the prevalent gangsta rap happening on the west coast and really doing their own weird thing. I think I preferred the highs on their '95 album, but this is a bit more solid overall, minus some skits. Highlights for me were "Passin' Me By", "Oh Shit", and "Soul Flower". 4 stars.
