Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Never mind the fact that Cypress Hill's 15 minutes of fame expired around 10 ganja-fueled years ago--Till Death Do Us Part is a solid release from a crew who've largely been written off as a cartoonish novelty act. The South Central cartel has given its signature sound a much-needed overhaul: B-Real has smoothed his trademark nasal whine into a more measured flow that complements DJ Muggs's rejuvenated sound. The underrated producer wisely eschews the rap-metal formula that has made Cypress Hill such frat-boy favourites and instead infuses their seventh studio album with a combination of sinister hip-hop beats, sweet Latin brass and pure, unadulterated reggae. Inspired guest appearances add flavour as well, most notably by Puerto Rican reggaeton don Tego Calderon, who turns the Alchemist-produced "Latin Thugs" into a Spanish hip-hop classic. Despite the revamp, Cypress Hill retains their love of weed and wacky sense of humour, both of which figure heavily in tunes such as the Beastie Boys-inspired "Busted in the Hood." --Rebecca Levine

I've been a big Cypress fan since their self titled album back in '91. Right up to Temples of Boom I loved them, the funky-nasal raps, the big smokey beats .. the paranoia .. everything. I felt a bit let down by 'IV' 'Skull & Bones' and 'Stoned raiders' - They drifted away from everything that made them different and became just another gangster hip-hop act, the rock-rap crossover era just didn't cut it for me. Thank God for this then, 'Till death do us part' sees The Hill boys return to top form. The tracks vary in style, 'Another body drops' Kicks off the album, rapid fire raps, busy bassline and gunshots, 'Till death comes' is laced with piano and strings, 'Latin thugs' follows in the style of 'Latin Lingo' but with a harder edge featuring Tego Calderon doing some great aggresive Latin raps, 'Ganja Bus' which features the ragga vocal stylings of Damian Marley (Yes, Son of Bob)wouldn't sound out of place in a club, 'What's your number' featuring Tim Armstrong (Rancid frontman)- samples the Clash's 'Guns of Brixton' and 'Once again' is a typical Stomping Party song in the vein of 'Insane in the brain'. The dark side of the band is still present on tracks such as 'Never know' and the title track 'Till death us do part'. It did Muggs no harm to venture out alone and experiment in different styles, such as his Trip-hop album 'Dust'. What you get here is Cypress back to their best since Black Sunday. Dark, moody and still ever so slightly Paranoid .. but now they sound like their having fun and are in party mood again. Play it LOUD.

If like me, you loved Cypress Hill in the old days, the recent albums may have left you disappointed. Rock should have never been incorporated into their music as I felt Skull and Bones showed. However, Till Death Do Us Part takes me back, lyrically and musically it is more like Temples of Boom or Black Sunday. A fantastic album which I hope sees the return of proper Hip-Hop from Cypress Hill.
Tracks such as "Once Again" and "Bong Hit" could have been written for them 5-10 years back.....brilliant...go buy it now

After having dabbled a bit with heavy-metal guitars, Cypress Hill is back in good shape on "Till Death...". Influences of dancehall, ragga as well as the usual latino-flavours give this album a nice flow with different styles and DJ Muggs' production keeps it together nicely. Lyrics are about the usual things and the rapping style is tight, whining but heavy as we've learned to love them.
Several tracks stand out but the best one will have to be "What's Your Number" which samples the Clash's "Guns of Brixton". It takes courage to do a remake of such a classic song but Cypress Hill gets away with it. If you like the early stuff from this band, you'll like this new CD.
