0822. Slaughterhouse-Welcome_to_Our_House-2012

Just started downloading this... I won't be able to listen to this before evening though..


Read couple of pages of this thread, All I'll say for now is that they did hint (multiple times too) that they were gonna put more "commercial" album so all that "I never saw this coming" talk seems kinda weird. Unless u didn't follow their interviews etc. after they signed & started recording the album.

People saying they shouldnt be a group no more? listen to the Mixtape shyts on most albums music is music who cares if its a mixtape or album. There owed some commercial success

 

[torcher]

I understand why they tried to go mainstream. Making a underground themed album would've been a waste of time for them, they could've just stayed with Koch if they were gonna do that.

No matter how much pop music this group attempts to make nothin is gonna make them mainstream or help them sell records cuz they just don't have that appeal. Theres no way a female is walkin in a store to buy a Slaugherhouse album. By making this type of music they just gonna lose sum of the fanbase they built in the past couple years

See, that's the thing. Their fans tend to overrate everything they put out. The mixtape was good. Nothing classic, or even near classic. There's nothing this group has put out that's a strong indicator that they should continue being a group. Even though these dudes are in their mid 30's and hasn't had much solo success, I still believe that them being part of a group is fruitless. None of them has much charisma and none of them has shown that they excel in a group environment. Them disbanding and focusing on their solo careers would probably be a lil bit more beneficial to all involved.

Naw, they went full retard....instead of going from messageboard rippity rap to mainstream urban radio rap, which I think everybody would have understood and expected, the album has the sound of the Eminem styled top 40 cac rap garbage....which works for Eminem because he has that crowd on lock and they'll absolutely buy any and everything he puts out...but Slaughterhouse ain't Eminem...this album is about to do absolutely JACK shyt as far mainstream success goes, it's gonna brick (speaking of which...WHERE THAT BETTING THREAD AT)...so now they have a worst case scenario, an unlistenable trash album that's gonna sell no albums...no singles...just an all around complete failure that the core fans that plan on buying it anyway can't even enjoy...they should've stayed on Koch because they will have accomplished nothing being signed to a major for years

 

[deeznutz]

This album is a complete joke. Seriously only 3 decent tracks?



signing to shady smh

 

[MoneyBags]

ehh, i never thought they were dope together, didn't hear any song that was a straight banger from them. listening to this though just solidified the fact that Royce fell the fukk off.

 

[Digga38]

4 out of 5 mics...i dont know about u nikkaz really...had a couple really dope cuts along with some snoozers but in no way is it a bad album...they clearly went for the college crowd not you new nikkas. we will see it works for them...

2 chainz album sounds like heaven compared to this shyt


bout to relisten again for the hell of it

 

[H.J.Duck]

I was able to listen to this a lil sooner than I expected.

couple of thoughts (I had read all the comments here & @jbtv.com before I started listening to the album so I had seen all the comments/opinions from "trash" to "dope", so I really didn't know what to expect)

negative:
-Joe should've had a verse on "Our House"
-Busta Rhymes damn near ruined "Coffin" with his wack ass hook
-Throw That is still wack, I'll probably never listen to that again
-Why put Park It Sideways on the album when it's not even a single? Easily their 2nd weakest song, makes Throw It Away almost sound good
-Royce still has the first verse on really many songs, just like on the first album. I wonder why they didn't change that
- Bonus songs The Other Side & Place to Be are better than Throw That & Park It Sideways, why those ain't on the album?
- Throw It Away/Throw That/Park It Sideways weren't really even needed since those are not good single material so they really do nothing for the album commercially, only ruin the listening experience
-Get Up instrumental is really loud...
-They really had weird single choices after My Life... (=Throw That/Throw It Away) considering there was better single material on the album..


All that being said.. the positive:

-I don't really have problems with most of the production... Boi1da was the MVP of the album as far as production goes (Goodbye/Our Way (Outro))
-Both Skylar Grey/Alex Da Kid songs were surprisingly good, especially Rescue Me where Joe & Crooked both had probably top 5 verses on the album (Joe still should've had a verse on Our House though)
- Also, Rescue Me is the type of "commercial" song which I expected to hear from them, they better use that as the next single, they all did their thing on that
-Crooked was impressive as hell damn near all the time

there's more things I need to comment on too but I can't remember everything right now..


So, after one listen (which is usually way too early for me to tell the actual rating).... I'm gonna say this is 3.5-3.75-ish outta 5. Which is disappointing to me... not nearly as horrible as some of yall said but something (like 2 more dope songs) is missing.

Oh I gotta say this post was on point...

This right here. This the worst case scenario for these nigs. Most people would have been cool with them scaling down the bars in exchange for more appealing urban type mainstream songs. No matter what you gotta make quality music. I'm not even sure who this would appeal to. I'd respect them if at some point in the near future they admit they put out the tape because they knew the album just wasn't quite right. I know they cant outright shyt on it(even though they should), but admit they realized the fans wouldn't dig it so they gave the fans some good music on the tape out of love.

Just googled 'Rescue Me' - yet another generic 'epic' track filled with pretend 'emotion', you have to hate music if you like worthless tracks like that.

Your are very level headed and an optimist at heart so I expected positivity from you.

Let me say this: Is every song garbage? Naw. But the songs that are decent and possible even good on their own do nothing to improve the overall subparness/wackness of this album. The songs I felt were decent were still not songs that I could repeatedly listen to because they have no soul or passion or style or substance or it to them. There is nothing that I can remember being fire, but I need to listen again because I lost patience towards the end due to my disappointment.



Edit: I came into my listen with modest expectations. But all I thought to myself was, "I know there are at least 5 or so bangers out of 20 tracks on here that I can just add to the mixtape and I'm good" but naw, these nikkas couldn't even give me that.

 

[Mask and Da Glock]

so not one but TWO alex da kid with skylar grey songs? that's bold.
