Better than most...period. August 29, 2008
Typical Green Lantern production, if you've heard any of his work with Eminem this will be similiar, could almost hear Em on these tracks...as far as Immortal technique goes this album is not as dark as some of his previous works, more about politics and how we deal with other countries. His voice has changed up a bit too, sounds like Nine from 1995 or so.
 Kind of weak August 20, 2008

I, like many, came in to this album with pretty high hopes. This fell in to my lap after picking up a string of great hip-hop albums like Prolyphic & Reanimator's "The Ugly Truth" and Sadistik's "The Balancing Act" which further boosted my anticipation.
Having DJ Green Lantern as the major featured producer left me a little skeptical but I went ahead and got it anyways. My worries were justified, Green Lantern brought the large dose of generic beat making I had feared was going to ruin this album for me. What you're left with now is the same yawn-worthy club sound you'd expect to find on a 50 Cent album in a train wreck unison with socially relevant wordplay, it just doens't work for me. Even Southpaw, a producer I admired on previous Immortal Technique albums, seemed to lower the bar for himself on this album.
This lack of continuity made Immortal Technique's lack of progressive content stand out as well. He's beginning to sound less like somebody fighting the good fight and more like a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist clinging to the mistakes of days gone by. How many albums can he make about 9/11 and how much he hates Bush before he becomes that crazy old man rambling to himself? I've heard this all before and it's a little boring at this juncture. I was expecting to hear a lot more regarding his take on current world event and although there was a bit of that overall the lyrics of this album fealt recycled to me.
Is this the worst album I've ever heard? Not by a long shot but I personally wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to my friends either. Overall it strikes me as just barely passable from an artist who has in the past repeatedly proven himself to be a pretty safe bet. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a better showing on Revolutionaries Vol. 3.
Dope release-still waiting for 'Middle Passage' though....Solid 4 out of 5 August 19, 2008
'The 3rd World' is a solid effort to satisfy the fans that have waited 5 years for ANY material to be dropped by Immortal Technique. We did not recieve a hastily, uninspired dime-a-dozen mixtape either....you can feel the energy and effort brought by Tech on each song. While not totally cohesive(it is a mixtape!)as his previous efforts, Immortal Technique used this more as an opportunity to lay out his many thoughts of the recent times and improved raps on wax. The production is on point with Green Lantern & Co. behind the boards-overall, bangin' beats..definitely doing Technique a justice.This release heightens the hype for the upcoming 'Middle Passage' and 'Revolutionary vol.3(probably his intention) so dont expect a full fledged follow up in the series, think of it more as an update on his movement(unless your up on his myspace page, we havent heard much from him). Cop this album and support true revolutionary hip hop.PEACE.
