  1. Though he's as loud as ever, he has never sounded more tired.
  2. Busta has never sounded so mature.

    A much more conventional Busta. [Aug 2006, p.111]
  4. Busta seems to be treading water too often.
  5. In the end... The Big Bang feels as hollow as a CGI-fueled Hollywood blockbuster.
  6. On this album, then, the bad news is the same as the good news: Busta Rhymes is still Busta Rhymes. Which means that this CD contains about a half-dozen songs so infectious that they obliterate all the rest.
