Summary: CLASSIC
Comment: I would label JMT as Hardcore/Horror core rap with a Wu-Tang influence. They rap about theology, science fiction, philosophy sometimes in a kind of distorted and contradictable way -- I have trouble trying to fathom Vinnie Paz's ideology. Jus Allah is often mistaken as a Muslim but is in fact a 5 percenter which is why he often refers to himself as god for those who don't know 5 percenter teachings; but all in all it's just jarring. Their lyrical concept is fresh and original to a certain extent. JMT is heavy on biblical references the beats and production are top notch. Stoupe is an amazing producer, up there with RZA. This music gets you hyped. I can't really understand how some people despise them and don't consider them true MC's. This is classic material in my opinion.

Summary: JMT
Comment: Hip-Hop and the love for the music we wish never faded as rapidly as it has is back in the main-stream with this amazing mix of beats, rhymes and flow...Vennie P and his players certainlly embroil me with a breath of fresh air. If you want underground Hip-Hop and dont wana listen to "Rims and Ice" then this is the Album of 2007!

Summary: Thoughts of Violence
Comment: ..The album begins with the infamous Dr.Zaius quote, "The sacred scrolls of the ape "lawgiver", from the film Planet of the Apes(1968).."Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn.." ....silence..the sounds of sirens and turntable scratches commence the first track, "Retaliation".
Among your initial listen to this album, you can feel an almost cinematic approach to the record. Each song ties into eachother with either film snippets, rhythmic instrumentals or random shout outs from fellow rappers. Some would say this has a mixtape aura, or a compilation even, due to the heavy guest spots and diverse tracklisting. Stoupe brings upon a production style so dark and distinct that it gives listeners a similar impression of listening to Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers for the first time.
Artists Vinnie Paz and Jus Allah express no subtelty in their religious views and graphic content of their lyrics. With elements of science fiction and often intense conspiracy theories, the duo cover all angles of extreme thoughts and inspirations.
This is true hip-hop breaking new ground; the production and lyrics experiment a formula that has gained a large underground following since its release in 2000. If you have not listened to this album, you are surely missing out on an innovative form of hip-hop; do yourself a favor and cop this classic.peace.

Summary: Darkest hip-hop album you'll ever hear
Comment: VBD puts you in a sinister, brooding mood and keeps you there through the duration. It transports you to a world that seems to alternate between the unreal and the all too real. Producer Stoupe provides beats that are incredibly pretty while at the same time threatening. Add to that the startlingly raw lyrics of Vinnie Paz (who has a voice like the giant toad in Pan's Labyrinth) and Jus Allah and you've got the recipe for an adrenaline-pumping fright night. Even the interludes provide some of the best moments of the album, with samples from sources such as the Heaven's Gate guy and the movie Pi playing over dark, ominous beats. The unapologetic embrace of violence and evil makes this Nietzsche's favorite hip-hop album. When the cd stops, you'll feel like you just won a fight or finished an Ayn Rand book. One of my top 5 albums of all time.
