Reviews Customer Reviews for 3 Years 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of      Classic, brings back lots of memories      Rating:      I'm going to take a different approach to reviewing albums on Amazon. Instead of going in depth on each album and describe each album in detail, i'm going to simply rate each album with how many stars I feel each album is worth based on the below criteria. I hope this helps you make a better decision on purchasing this album with a simple individual rating. If it doesn't help read another review. 5 stars- Classic, Album goes beyond description, Perfect in every way, Could remind you of a certain time or place, Lifetime replay value. 4.5 stars- Near Classic, Incredible album, Maybe only one song that is skippable or just overall doesn't quite deserve classic status. High replay value. 4.0 stars- Awesome album. Very solid album from start to finish. Met every expectation and more. Maybe only one song or two that is skippable or just doesnt' quite deserve a classic or near classic rating. High replay value. 3.5 stars- Above average album. Solid from start to finish but there are a few songs worth skipping. Met expectations, minimal replay value. 3.0 stars- Average album. Nothing bad but nothing great either. After the initial appeal will collect dust. 2.5 stars- Major disappointment. You had high expectations that were ruined as this album is not good at all. There might be only one or two songs worth listening to. No replay value. 2.0 stars- Below average album. This album doesnt bother you to hear as background music but you would rather not listen to it if you didnt have to. No songs really appeal. No replay value. 1.5 stars- Terrible album. Makes one sick to hear it. No songs really appeal but there might be one song that you could stand to hear. Would rather throw in garbage than even waste space in your collection. 1.0 stars- Makes one cringe and the ears bleed! *keep in mind, each album review might not be based on opinion of the band but the album itself in the bands discography     Customer Reviews for 3 Years 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of Cd      The way house party hip hop is supposed to be made!      Rating:      This album presents a postive message in the most head bopping way possible. I have owned this album for 15 years now and I still listen to it on a regular basis. A blend of hip hop, soul, funk, and blues. Most of the tracks are upbeat hip hop joints that would rock any dancefloor filled with those who know good music. Just some good ol hip hop with a real southern feel. Add the fact that there are no curses and you have a great cd to welcome your teenager to the world of hip hop done with class. Editorial Reviews for 3 Years 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of Audio Cd      Amazon.com      With their feel-good humanism, uniquely rural perspective, and melodic blend of funk and rap, Arrested Development seemed like the next big thing in 1992. The group hailed from Atlanta, which was not then a capital of hip-hop and R&B, and this, their debut recording, won the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics poll. Speech, the primary lyricist, wrote and delivered eloquent attacks on gangsta rap's mindless nihilism: the band's first hit, "Tennessee," spoke of reclaiming Southern black traditions from the racism that sullied their memory, while their second, "People Everyday," deftly updated the Sly Stone classic. Although Speech's rapping style was not distinctive, Dionne Farris's keening vocals highlighted the band's front line. Unfortunately, Speech began to run short of ideas and the band failed to maintain the high standards that this debut set. They disbanded a few years later. --Martin Johnson
