First, the offerings: The box consists of a box with contents, which reminds me of board games. Had better make, but I can also overlook the bar. The T-shirt is, as far as I can tell, well made, no cheap print. Whether you can put it in the public or not, everyone must decide for themselves. The poster is printed big and double-sided. I think it looks as far from good. The autograph card is only printed and not "handmade" signed, which I personally find a bit unfortunate. The leaflets and filter tips I can not judge because I am Non smoking. The lighter is unfortunately the biggest disappointment. Do not know if that's in the other so well, but mine does not work, or it sparks, but there is no flame, making it virtually unusable. Very unfortunate. EDIT: Meanwhile, I've found that the lighter but works, but is very rusty innendrin. Hence my vote remains only is the reason this time the rust in the lighter.
Now the album itself: I will evaluate each song individually and give a small conclusion at the end.
Intro (5/5): Pretty powerful entry. For my taste a bit too powerful, because that come along the tracks after weaker, thus is understandable. I would otherwise called the track and then packed somewhere in the middle.
ACAB (4/5): The track was already previously published, so I think that since I no longer have much to say. The hook is not quite my cup of tea, but the parts and the beat are very good.
Che Guevara Flow (2-3 / 5): Beat is ok, but no board. Somehow the track is a little past me when I turn on him not deliberately. Average, one might say.
Killa (4/5): the track I find actually quite good and the beat like that. But there is 1 point deduction, because it is not the same version as the JBC and the version I liked better there. If you have the version there is one a few times, this works here compared somehow slightly worse because a few familiar things were cut out, which could have been avoided.
Bikini Bottom Gangster (1/5): The beat can not keep up with the others and Patrick interferes somehow totally and pulls Sponge very down.
Planktonweed (4/5): Here it was done significantly better. Nicer and even beat Patrick interferes not quite as usual. The absolute best is of course the Double- / Triple Time, in my opinion the best of Sponge. A star deduction, because the hook is not quite my case again. Otherwise good.
City of God (5/5): Geiler track. There is nothing more to say. Hammer beat horny flow, a perfect stress-free package. One of the best tracks on the album.
Trust no one (4/5): round thing, but no board. No real weakness, but also at any point outstanding.
No Cooperacion Con La Policia (5/5): Again a very good track. Marginal weaker than "City of God", but by far the best of the single-Ausklopplungen.
JFK (1/5): A track that is not even entirely my cup of tea. Here, the beat begins first quite epic, with this quiet home makes you feel somehow put into a film. But the sponge can here once exceptionally not rausholen the best, on the contrary, he did not like it anyway. Unfortunately one of the worst tracks from him, even though Patrick is not even.
Street Fighter (4/5): Again a good track. A star deduction, because the hook along with the beat and everything a little bit "overloaded" acts.
GTA Bikini Bottom (5/5): Once again, an absolutely great song. Here also acts not "overloaded" or so, very good package. Also nice that the whole thing can sound really good and melodic in the quieter mode.
Petty criminal (2/5): The (pseudo standard) probably "most emotional" track of Sponge. Even though it is in itself quite well done, it acts on the album somehow misplaced.
Time is money (2/5): The "Gangster" -lastigste track on the album. Although I have nothing against general "Gangster" drivel, it's me here somehow too exaggerated what then rather negative effect.
Drive by shooting (5/5): ENDGEILER track. The god damn musical hottest track on the entire album, this track even surpasses "City of God" and he is also varied. Could not be better, 1+ with asterisks.
Hasta La Vista! (2-3 / 5): Again, the same reasoning as in "Che Guevara Flow". Had the album stopped by "Drive by shooting", you might still be disembarked with his good feeling from the album, but it somehow seems rather disappointing, grade for the best track of the album.
Conclusion (56/80): I'm a bit ambivalent in this album. Some things are better than me, others would have done better but also genuine. Sure, it's a debut album and one can not expect the same from the ultimate one newcomer. But overall you anywhere just yet feel that not really all was given for the "fans". And surely that is quite disappointing, especially considering the hefty price. So I find a slightly above-average rating of 3 stars justified. Whoever sees it differently, like doing express his own comment about the album.
