audio review : Filthy America [ It's Beautiful ] ( album ) ... The Lox

This is the first Lox album since 2000. The Trininty set was EPs and a mixtape. Perhaps Filthy America should’ve been another one. The album, which would time in at a mere thirty-something minutes if not for two skip-worthy interludes, sounds more like a mixtape than the long-awaited follow-up to We Are The Streets. Ryde Or Die Bitch remains my favorite Lox song. Nothing here comes close, though The Agreement, which has a similar concept, is a notable highlight.

audio review : The Trinity ( EP ) ... The Lox

The title represents the three Lox members, but they should’ve reinforced that concept by limiting this set, a four-song EP, to three songs. Faded is the only one with a decent chorus, thanks to singer Tyler Woods, so that’s a keeper, along with Love Me Or Leave Me Alone, which jacks an old school Brand Nubian joint.
