Let This One Grow, Time Will Reveal This Is A Good Album (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars)
Rating:
Above The Law's fourth full length album is quite different than their previous ones that they have released. After leaving Ruthless/Relativity Records and on to Tommy Boy ATL switches their style in their rhymes. On Livin' Like Hustlers, they had a more gangsta style rhyming. Their next two full length LP's Black Mafia Life and Uncle Sam's Curse were more focused on their pimp style of rhyming. The latter LP had a little spice of political influence. Time Will Reveal went back to the gangsta style rhyming, with a more updated touch.
At first I didn't like this album, because it didn't sound like other ATL albums. In fact I didn't make it through the album the first time. Around "1996" I lost my interest. But hearing this album a few more times, the album get easier and easier to listen to. KM G and Cold 187um rhyme like they haven't lost a beat. "Encore" and "The Evil That Men Do" are two tracks that lead off the album with energy. A few other standout tracks on here are "Killaz In The Park" featuring MC Ren and the bouncy single "Endonesia" (I have no idea who that girl is in the video). "City Of Angels (Remix)" featuring Kid Frost is a good track, not to mention "Apocalypse Now" ends the album on a high note. ATL does get back to pimpin, but briefly on "Clinic 2000" featuring Enuff and Daddy Cool.
This album can be a drag sometimes, especially with the fact that there are many songs with hooks that are longer than they are supposed to be. That might expain why most of these songs here clock in at 4 1/2 minutes where KM G and 187 only spit two short verses. Not to mention since ATL decided to focus on life in the Ponoma streets, they aren't saying anything new than what any other group from L.A. has made a while back.
Given that this is a dope album. Tommy Boy shouldn't let this go out of print, because this is one of their best albums that are from that label (believe it or not). This is nowhere near classic material from this group, but fans of gangsta rap from Cali will be impressed with this one. Peace.

Customer Reviews for Time Will Reveal Cd
awsome A.T.L album
Rating:
let me first start off by saying i only have 3 ATL albums i have this one,uncle sams curse and livin like hustlers.this review is just my opinion.I think this might be better than uncle sams curse because on this album it has songs that i think are better than anything on uncle sams curse, songs such as evil that men do, encore and the one with kokane.but it also might not be better than uncle sams curse because on this cd towards the end of the album the songs get worse there a few songs that are not good and on uncle sams curse all the songs are good but none of them really blow you away either.so i dont know my opinion i would have to say pick up time will reveal over uncle sams curse
