Album information

This album is best-known for two of its songs - Trouble and Lowrider. The song Kronologik also summarizes Cypress Hill's career from their debut in 1991 until the album was released. Many of its songs feature guest artists like MC Ren, King Tee, Redman and Method Man.

'Here Is Something You Can't Understand', is a sequel of their breakthrough single, 'How I Could Just Kill a Man'. 'Lowrider' is also used on the British TV Series Soccer AM.

Reception

Mixmag (12/01, p.63) - 3 out of 5 - "They seem to be searching for new sounds and styles and this explains the multi-personality nature of the album way better than the ubiquitous chronic."

Vibe (1/02, p.125) - 3.5 discs out of 5 - "Cypress Hill proves that where there's blunt smoke, there's fire. The quartet's hip hop joints haven't been this potent in years."
