Summary: The Score
Comment: New Jersey has produced some fantastic musicians. after all we are the second wealthiest state in this country, and yet we have some of the poorest cities. When the Fugees produced this album they gave a voice to the city of Newark., and in the process created a masterpiece. Great Production by Pras. bits of Clefs guitar and Hills vocals make for a nice flow. Hopefully Hill can overcome her Bi-Polar disorder and reunite.

Summary: Best album of 1996
Comment: I first heard the video to fugeela with their safari outfits on and everything and really liked it so I bought the album and immediately said there are some good songs. Did not completely understand the album at the time and now listening to it, as I have aged, sounds much better and means much more to me when listening to it. The bass in the tracks are hard to beat with three mixes of fugeela to satisfy your contrast needs. I like the redo of music by the musicians in the group and the sample of Enya's boadicea. This album does stand the test of time in my opinion and pushes the envelope of sound quite a bit so I give it 5 stars.

Summary: awesome
Comment: This is the best fugees album. the beats really bring me back when music was better and for any Lauryn Hill fans she rhymes and sing on some of the tracks

Summary: Landmark album for the Fugees
Comment: I've always thought the Fugees(minus Pras) was great even though their first album was solid. This follow up album destroys any memory of the first one completely. Even though Pras is the weak link of the group, he doesnt stop this album from being less of a classic. Guest apppearances like Rah Digga, The Outsidaz, Diamond D and John Forte'(somebody let me know what happened to him Peace) shine right along with the Fugees. The production for the most part was great too. Even though they caught a lot of criticism from certain up north Mcs(no names need because they're not that important)because they sold more than these bums ever will, this album is still one of the highlights of 96. Standout Tracks: HOW MANY MICS, READY OR NOT, ZEALOTS, FU-GEE-LA, FAMILY BUSINESS, KILLING ME SOFTLY(masterful rendition of the old Roberta Flack classic), THE SCORE, THE MASK, COWBOYS and MANIFEST. Filler: None. Bottom Line: Fugees' The Score is one of the best albums of 96 and is their best album ever. It still sounds great after all these years.

Summary: Tight
Comment: when i was 8 years old i got this album.
10 years later it's still tight, i listen to it everytime i want to
and i feel this is very good. this album is not just a season hit,
it's a classic, the kind you'd listen to in 20 , 40 years and think -
it's awesome.

Editorial Reviews:

Their remake of "Killing Me Softly" was the hit, but that's only the beginning of the story. A hip-hop trio whose talents reach out into the world of the pop song (Wyclef Jean is a fine guitar player, and Lauryn Hill's a heck of a singer), the Fugees are also all distinctive, inventive rappers--you find yourself waiting for each of them to take the next verse in turn. The beats are the familiar crossed-armed boom-bip, but the group's understated grooves and subtle effects lie low in the mix. Aside from two kicky covers of classics (the other is Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"), The Score's focus is on the stars' rhyming with the free-form grace of performance poets and showing that they've thought deeply about the issues they raise. --Douglas Wolk
