Have you heard?
Singer, and now rapper, Queen Bee, has just released her second studio album, Beware.
The album takes Queen Bee in a different direction from her debut - this time recording a 9-track long hip hop album, again under Residual Records.
Where is the album available?
Initially, Beware was set to release on:
Modern Spartans, inc., Brain Dead Records parent company,
commenting on copyright issues with Queen Bee's "Beware".
SoundCloud also houses Beware, but only the first 5 tracks are available over there, for now.
Because of the complications that arose, Residual Records announced that BandCamp will be the only location that will house the Deluxe Edition of Beware. The Deluxe Edition contains 2 bonus tracks by fan favourites Tri$ha and FranTiK that are only available once the album has been downloaded, and are not available for streaming.
For our review, we will be focusing solely on the Standard Edition, but we will have a section at the end dedicated to the bonus tracks found on the Deluxe Edition. How much does the album cost?
This is Residual Records' first paid release.
Although The Struggle EP and Life Hurts were meant to be paid albums, they were both released for free, exclusive to YouTube over fears that they would not be successful commercially. However, Beware was always intended to be a paid album, and Residual Records followed through on that this time, confident that the album would be a success. Because of this, Beware is priced at a very reasonable £4.99 (British Pound Sterling), and is available globally. Should you only want to purchase a single song from the album, individual songs are priced at £0.99 (British Pound Sterling). If this is out of your price range, the entire album is free for streaming on BandCamp, and will be coming to other locations shortly. Payment is only required to download the album. At the end of our review, we will discuss if we think the album is worth buying or not. Disclaimer

First Impressions
The layout of the album is far better than it use to be.
Residual Records is the first NWC record label to distribute music in this way. Previously, all other record labels have sold music through YouTube videos that require purchase to be viewed. We think Residual Records have just changed the game. Though it seems like the obvious thing to do, it's just never been done before Beware, and we have a feeling it will be done by all NWC record labels in the future - especially for all of Residual Records' future releases. The page setup is very minimalistic and simple, and the album credits are clearly displayed below the play/buy section. Additionally, every track has an 'info' button next to it, allowing the listener to read the credits for that song individually. One song, Ashamed (Pre-Release Version), by The Beast, also contains the track's lyrics, allowing the user to sing along with The Beast. Track 1 The first track, titled Beware, throws the listener right into the album, and serves to set the tone of the first half. The theme of the song is very dark. Almost horrorcore-esq, but not really. The beat is very dark and creepy sounding, and the lyrics could be best described as telling the listener to 'watch their back', because this world is full of "snakes" and "fakes". One of the very first things that stand out, though, are the vocals. Forget what you remember about the sweet-sounding Queen Bee, because this is the new Queen Bee, and her vocals are harsh and to the point! Even though there is still a softness to them, the vocally damaged Queen Bee is gone, and a new one prevails! It will be interesting to see what Queen Bee has to say about her vocal performance and recovery during our Beware Interview (releasing soon). Track 2 The second track is titled Exclusive, and contains a lot of references to Queen Bee's youth, as well as 'bigging herself up'. The beat is very nice. It's more fun and upbeat than Beware was, and the hook is comprised from samples of old hip hop records - a real throwback to the origins of the culture they're representing with this album. What we can't get over, however, is the censorship in the song. We're not entirely sure why, but many of the words and phrases are distorted and censored, seemingly deliberately. It's a shame, because this could easily have been the best song on the album if it weren't for the constant and extreme censorship. It sounds weird, and it isn't even done very well, in our opinion. This is defiantly going to be one of the first questions we ask Queen Bee in our interview. Track 3 The next track is called No Hook. We don't really know why the song is called that, because it does, in fact, contain a hook, even if the hook is just; "No hook just bars, no hook just bars / No hook / No hook just bars, no hook just bars / No hook". Regardless, it's a very nice song with a chill beat. A break from the intense first and second track. Track 4 The fourth track is a little different from the rest. The beat is more modern than the beats on the rest of the album, and the flow and lyrics aren't up to the same level of the other tracks, in our opinion. The song has a single word censored, but it's still clear to make out what it means. We were curious over why the sound is so different, so we looked at the track credits and compared it to the other songs. Despite being titled Que Beast (seemingly a cross between The Beast and Queen Bee), this was the only track that was not written by The Beast, with The Beast being credited as the main writer for every other track. The overall crew involved was smaller, too, with only one Assistant Producer credited. Despite all of this, it was still a very good track, and some of our team thought it was one of the better songs on the track. Track 5 The fifth track is different from all the others, and marks an essential shift in the tone of the album. This song, titled Ashamed (Pre-Release Version), felt almost unfinished. The production value is very high, but it's almost as if it were rushed. Nevertheless, the track is very solid. What is different about this song, though, is that it only contains The Beast, and nobody else is even credited with the making of the song, other than Rujay, who received an engineering credit. The lyrics are somewhat juxtaposed with the beat and vocals. The vocals and beat give off a really sad and depressing feeling, but the lyrics are rather comical, telling the story of a person that poops their pants in school, describing that person's experiences.
It is here that an essential shift in the album is made.
Beware is very much split up into two sides, we feel. The first side (tracks 1-4) is a hardcore hip hop album, and the second side (tracks 6-9) are more soulful, and, with the exception of track 8, would probably be classified as R&B, rather than rap. Overall, this was a good song. The beats of Que Beast and Ashamed (Pre-Release Version) fade into each other seamlessly, but the track still feels a little out of place in the album, especially considering it doesn't even feature Queen Bee herself. in fact, the track isn't even accredited to Queen Bee, it's credited to The Beast. It's almost as if The Beast is just trying to force himself into every nook and cranny of Residual Records. We guess he has the right to do so. He is, after all, the CEO of Black Dog Records, Brain Dead Records and Modern Spartans, inc., but even so... it just seems weird. Track 6 At 02:03, the sixth song is by far the shortest on the album. This is actually quite upsetting, because it's an amazing song, and the hook is extremely catchy. Track 7 Papier-Mâché Heart... what can we say about this song? It's good? It's great? We don't know. Regardless, it's a very song, and the decision to place it right after I'm Q was an amazing decision! Well done on this record! Track 8 The next song is called Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, and it takes a break from the soulful R&B side of the album, and, honestly, we have to say this was a fantastic call! The song really serves to balance out the pacing, and ensure that listeners that aren't a fan of the slower style don't give up on the album right before the end. The beat is very hard, as are the lyrics are vocals. It's very similar to Exclusive, just without all of the pointless censorship. The lyrics almost carry on from Beware, but are more aggressive towards people that are trying to enter the culture without the proper respect for it. We would have to say this is one of the best songs on the entire album, if not the absolute best. Track 9 The final track is called Sidekick, and it details Queen Bee's relationship with one of her ex-partners. Hopefully we'll be able to find out some dirt about their relationship in our interview. Anyway, the song is very well made, and it sound incredible. It feels final. You can tell the album is concluding, but it leaves you wanting more. At this point, we don't think bonus tracks are necessary. The ending feels good as it is. Positives
The lyrics are impeccable. I know we bashed on The Beast pretty hard for Ashamed (Pre-Release Version), but nobody can doubt that he is an impeccable lyricist and Executive Producer. If one were to argue that The Beast was up there lyrically with hip hop's greats, I don't think we would be able to argue with you. It's also nice to see that he can write songs that aren't raps.
The pacing of the album is very good. You feel hyped when Queen Bee wants you to, and you feel chilled out when she wants you to. It's also amazing how The Beast and Queen Bee are able to make the listener feel emotional about things we have no knowledge of. Sidekick is a great example of this. I don't even know who Queen Bee's ex is, only that he or she "left [her] for the side chick" - but that doesn't stop me from almost balling my eyes out. Negatives
The location of the album is a bit awkward.
Most people would have found iTunes or Spotify more practical, but we can't really fault Residual Records for this. It would have just been nice if they could have sorted these issues out before releasing the album. If you listen on a PC or Mac, it's fine, though. It's only mobile listeners that may find it awkward. I know we've said it before, but Ashamed (Pre-Release Version) feels so out of place. It genuinely is a very good track, we're not just not completely sure it fits in well with the rest of the album. Bonus Tracks
We have listened to and analysed both bonus tracks, and honestly, they are very solid.
FranTiK's song comes first, right at the end of the main album, and the transition into it is nice. The song is nothing special, but it's very good. It's probably the best thing we've ever seen from FranTiK before, which says a lot, doesn't it? However, Tri$ha's song is the real star of the show. We know it's what you're all wondering about, really, and it's okay to wonder about it. We sure were, and it completely blew us away. We think it's worth paying £4.99 just for this song, never mind the rest of the album. So is it worth paying to download the album? That's subjective, and we can't make that decision for you. This is just our review, and this is only our opinion, and whether or not you think it's worth downloading completely depends on your individual situation and whether or not you like the songs, and if you have been following Tri$ha's career and recovery as closely as some people have. But if you like it, it's only £4.99 ($6.57), so we would 100% recommend downloading it. Album Information
Total Run Time: 54:45 (60:37)
Number Of Tracks: 9 (11) Release Date: 07/01/2018 Artists: Queen Bee , The Beast , Tri$ha , FranTiK Conclusion
Interest/Retention --> 5/5
Sound Quality --> 5/5 Production --> 5/5 Sound --> 5/5 Lyrics --> 5/5 We give "Life Hurts" by Queen Bee a 10/10!! You can't deny that Residual Records have done an amazing job here. Seriously, we're going to go back and revise all our previous reviews soon, because they have been vastly overestimated. This one... this is a perfect 10. What we found amazing was just how long it is. It really doesn't feel like an hour long album, but is clearly is. Time really flies when you listen to Queen Bee, I guess. Sponsors

Incase you're unaware, some serious gang leaders were making strong threats over on Twitter late last night.
This could be much worse than you would imagine. Why do you think we haven't been reporting much recently? Why do you think that all of our reviews and stories have been about music recently? Because there's nothing else to report on, right now! The community has been very, very peaceful and stable for the past month. This could all change very quickly!! Lets take a look at how and why now... WARNING
The rest of this story contains continuous vulgar language and words that many may find hurtful or offencive.
Viewer discretion is strongly advised. The Tweets
Before anything else, let's take a look at some of the tweets that were sent back and forth between prominent rival gang members on the public domain.
The above tweet was posted by a member of the Ballas street gang, and was tweeted to some other members of the same gang.
That wasn't so bad.
It's pretty normal for gangs to do this on Twitter as a way of showing their appreciation for their gang. This is something they call "putting work in" and "representing". However, the problems arise when the leader of another gang, who were sworn enemies with the Ballas for years before they called a formal truce, slandered the gang in a tweet replying to theirs.
It soon became VERY clear that the Ballas did not take this lightly and took immediate offence to this, and multiple tweets were sent back and forth between three gang members.
After a few minutes, the leader of possibly the richest and most influential street gang in the whole community, The Vagos, tried to intervene.
You may be surprised, as we initially were, to see that the Vagos wanted it to all end peacefully and respectfully, rather than turning into another war.
But why is that? Why did the Vagos want it to be resolved peacefully?
Lets see why, shall we? The Vagos' Point of View
To understand this, we're going to need a quick history lesson.
The Vagos Street gang, the Families Street gang and the Ballas street gangs all started up, in this community at least, in late 2008 and were some of the very first organisations within the community. Naturally, given the nature of Grand Theft Auto, and the community, at the time, it didn't take very long at all for these gangs to begin fighting. Once they did, this sparked a very, very long, drawn out and dangerouis war between the three gangs and their allies. In 2012, the Vagos underwent some structural changes and started working for Don Eladio's cartel. Once they did this, the Families and the Ballas gangs were smart enough to realise that the Vagos were way over their heads now, and continuing to fight any Vagos members would surely result in the destruction of their entire gang. Since then, the Vagos have remained the most powerful and influential street gang in the community, and one of the most powerful organisations overall, due, in part, to their strong connection to Don Eladio, the cartel, the mafia and other very important and powerful organised crime syndicates. Because of this, the Vagos have remained in relative peace since then. This was until early 2016, and the later named "Red-Age" which we all know too well. The Red-Age saw the Vagos take part in more petty, low level crime as Don Eladio had his first downfall. This, of course, meant that the Families, Vagos and Ballas went back to fighting. However, it didn't take too long for the Vagos to realise that this fighting really wasn't worth it. Around that time, Eladio was gaining traction again, and a new organisation, the Modern Spartans MCC (later known as the Modern Spartans MC) were rising in power and influence. The Vagos quickly became friendly with the Modern Spartans MCC, and helped Eladio grow to power again, keeping a stronger relationship with him than ever. Again, due to the immense power of the Vagos, as well as the Vagos being allies with the Modern Spartans who were also allies with the Families, the Families and the Ballas stopped fighting the Vagos. However, for Don Eladio, this was no longer enough. Eladio, as well as the Modern Spartans MCC, wanted to end the violence all together. They organised a formal meeting, with the assistance of local and federal law enforcement, and arranged a formal peace treaty. In return, both gangs could go stronger, obviously, but Eladio and the Modern Spartans would also help each gang to grow financially as long as they kept within certain peaceful guidelines. Eventually, Eladio, the Vagos and the Spartans stopped dealing with the Ballas as much as the Ballas wanted to go in a slightly different direction - but they still kept within the agreed upon guidelines. All of the other gangs, however, remained regular business partners of the Families. This system has worked very, very well until now. All of the organisations are larger, richer and stronger. The FIB, IAA, SNS, LSPD, SASD, LCPD, GSPD, PBPB, ACPD and the SAPR have all reported far less crime statistics since then. It is very clear that the Vagos want everything to stay this way so that they don't have any more roadblocks, police scrutiny or financial setbacks. This is also likely the same view that most other gangs and organisations share. The Families' Point of View
The Families street gang liked this system, too.
It has worked very, very well for them, and they are all far more successful than they were back when there was war. However, take a look at the tweet below that one of the Ballas leaders sent to the leader of the Families gang.
You may be wondering what this has to do with this story or what this even means.
Well, let us tell you.. The Ballas were actually the ones who fired the first shot (both metaphorically and physically). The aforementioned "Burk" in Lil' Stretch's tweet was Burkley Lang, a member of the Grove Street Families set. Lang was fatally shot a week ago in South Central Los Santos, SA, by some members of the Ganton Gang Ballas set. This was the first act of violence between the two gangs in over a year.
But why did the Ballas do this?
Well, it's time to take a look at their point of view. The Ballas' Point of View
Although, in our opinion at least, the Ballas escalated it way too far after more than a year of peace; they weren't fully at blame for their actions.
The Ballas were only responding to a line in a song on OG Riffs' recently released album, The Struggle EP. The song in questioned, the first track on this album, actually contained members of the Families gang as well as the Ballas gang, and was also largely written by the leader of the Modern Spartans MC. This shows that all was really peaceful as the song was being made. However, one of the lines on the first track went as follows: "Crustified Slim shot up Little Bitty $am, back when Drake and Little Wayne were just little bitty kids."
Without getting too into the specifics and the politics of this line, it shines light on something that the Ballas wanted to keep hidden.
The Ganton Gang Ballas, having a fiery leader than the rest of the Ballas, wanted revenge, and took this revenge far further than was necessary. Even with this leader, the Ballas knew that they couldn't go after the person who wrote the line, as he is the leader of the Modern Spartans MC, and starting any war with the Modern Spartans would mean the end of the Ballas gang. So.. instead, they went after the person who rapped the line. However, they soon realised that this wouldn't have as much of an exaggerated effect. So, they went after Burkley Lang - a very, very prominent leader in the Families gang. It was reported that they shot and killed him in a three man drive by from a gray and purple Emperor. So Why Didn't Families Retaliate Sooner?
Well, the short answer is; they did.
The long answer? Well we're not too sure about that. We couldn't find much out about that, unfortunately. What we can tell you, however, is that all three men involved in the drive-by were reported dead the next day. The Deputy Director of the Federal Investigations Bureau (FIB) directly implied that he believes the Grapeseed Police Department and the Modern Spartans MC aided the Families in taking out these three men in retaliation when we asked him - though this is not on the official report. But Then Why Didn't The Ballas Retaliate?
Luckily, the Ballas don't have the same mindset as organisations such as the Sons of Anarchy MC or the Modern Spartans MC and understood that the Families' retaliation was justified.
Had this happened to a lot of other gangs, this would have escalated FAST!! So.. Why Is It Escalating Now, Then?
In truth, it appears as though OG Riffs (Families), who was very, very close to Burkley Lang, was still upset about what the Ballas did to him, and so sent this tweet in response to Hustle's tweet (Ballas).
And, from here, the verbal action escalated until it has become what it is now.
But WHAT Is It Now?
To be honest... We don't know.
Nobody does, infact. Not even the Ballas or Families know what is going to happen. We asked the FIB on Twitter, and they had this to say:
This was fairly concerning.
We asked what the FIB would to if a war did happen and they simple responded with "No Comment", which, as you would expect, only added to our concern. But why? What is it about this situation that is so worrying? What would the outcome be if a war broke out, and what would even happen? Lets take a quick look shall we? Why Is The Idea of a War So Scary?
This answer is pretty simple, so we'll make is so.
In short, because of how powerful everybody is. If the Families and the Ballas got into a war, other gangs and organizations would definitely be dragged into it. The Vagos, for example, would obviously choose to side with the Families. However, what this means is drastic. The Vagos being dragged in would almost certainly mean the cartel being dragged in to fight for the families, too. Not only the cartel, but the Modern Spartans MC, the Varios Los Aztecas, the Sons of Anarchy MC, the Hell's Angels MC and many, many more people would also fight for the families. So, the Families would easily win, right? What's so bad about that?
Well, we thought about it and, as it turns out, it may not be so clear cut.
Eladio joining would almost certainly mean that the Mafia.. Yes! The entire mafia would fight for the Ballas. And, whilst Eladio (and the cartel) and all of the other people involved in the war fight long, slow, drawn-out mini-battles, the mafia do not!! On the rare occasions where the mafia have been involved in wars, all of the fighting takes place in a single lobby over around 10-12 hours. However, you can easily multiply that by at least 10 with everybody else that's going to be involved. This means that, for about a week straight with no stops or breaks, there will be an all out gang war until only one prominent gang remains. And, of course, the military and police departments would all get involved and martial law will be introduced. So, in short, the community could pretty much all but end if a war broke out, and everybody knows it!! SO WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?!?!
Well, honestly, nothing.
It is ALL in the hands of the gangs. The good news, however, is that, at the moment, it is only tension. It's extreme tension, but that's all it is at this point. This, thankfully, means that unless somebody fires the first shot, nothing will happen. We can't foresee the Families or any of their allies firing the first shot, so it would likely be the Ballas. As long as the Ballas don't do anything, it's likely nothing will happen. However, it is VERY important that all sides sit down and talk about this, first. As even though nothing will happen if the Ballas don't strike, the tension will still be there, and could easily come back should anything else happen. The only way to completely avert this crisis would be for all sides to meet and discuss this peacefully, coming to terms, like last time.
What do you think, though?
Do you think this will start a war? Do you agree with out analysis? Please, make sure to tell us in the comments of this article, we'd love to find out what you have to say. Are you a member of the Families or Ballas gangs? Please tell us your opinions. After yet again very little notice, Residual Records have released another album. This time it is the debut album of fan favourite, OG Riffs. His album is entitled The Struggle EP. Interestingly, it has a song named The Struggle on it, too. You can find the full album below. Weirdly, this album is only consists of five songs - none of which are skits. What makes that even more interesting is that whilst it only consists of five songs, the total run time comes to almost exactly 20 minutes - almost as long as Life Hurts, a 16 track album. The art cover is very interesting, but it doesn't appear to have very much to do with the theme of the album. Can you find what the connection is? If you can, please tell us in the comments section of this article or over on Twitter. We will defintly be condudcting a thurough review of this album, soon.
If you would like us to include your thoughts and opinions in our review, make sure to comment your views in this article. The latest music video by Residual Records has been released!! It seems like Residual Records are going to be continuing the trend of releasing videos with their songs - which we are definitely not complaining about. Incase you missed it, Residual Records announced on Twitter that OG Riffs (from this song) will be releasing an album on sunday!!
Not only that, but he will also be releasing another music video before then. This is a very exciting time for music, so make sure that you stay tuned with us here on our site, as well as on Residual Records' Twitter and YouTube, as not everything they post is also posted here. Yet again, Residual Records gave us very little warning before releasing some music. However, this one is a bit different. That's because this is their FIRST EVER MUSIC VIDEO. The song is by a female artist called KT. We didn't know who she was, so we did a little digging and found that she is one of the members of the rap group, Douglas Fam. Remember them? They released Residual's last single, In This Like 2012. First ImpressionsFirstly, the song; The song is really good, but it isn't that impressive compaired to some of their other music. Don't get us wrong, it's far better than any of Residual's competitors could and have ever done, but it isn't the best thing they have ever made, in our opinion. Now, the video; The video is far less impressive. It seems like the sort of music video a teenager would've made with the Movie Maker equivalent in the 1990's. It isn't so much a "video" as it is a collage of images. However, that being said, it does provide a lot of images of the artist, KT, as well as other members of Residual Records that we're assuming are members of the Douglas Fam. She's a really good looking girl, actually. It also shows off some really cool Douglas Fam artwork - though we aren't sure whether they made them or they're fan-made. Either way, they're really good. It's also important to note that this isn't the type of music we necessarily expect from Residual Records. Whilst it is rap music, like most of their music, it is more like the sort of rap music you heard on Life Hurts, rather than The Posse. It may be worth noting that the song is very short, too, only lasting 100 seconds from start to finish, though this isn't necessarily a good or bad thing as long as it is 100 seconds of quality. PositivesWe get our first peek at what the members of the Douglas Fam/Residual Records look like in real life - including KT. We also get a good idea of her personality through the images in this video. She seems like a really laid back yet eccentric character, once being pictured with a real, live snake on her face whilst she's just really calm, and once being shown with a snake painted onto her face. She's also pictured in a gas-mask with earphones over it, as well as shown smoking either a cigar or a really big joint. The song is really chill and good to listen to whilst you're laying down relaxing or when you're in a really chilled out mood. It also gets you thinking about some of the things she's talking about in the song. NegativesThe first, obvious, negative is the music "video". It just isn't what we expected. Residual Records have, since they re-branded a few months ago, produced and released nothing but the absolute best quality they can; and, whilst this video is really good, it just isn't the quality we expected. Also, the video doesn't really go with the song. It does go with the song well, but it isn't very well timed to the tempo of the song. Not only that, but the actual video quality is very poor. It is only available at a widescreen 360p quality - not very good. On most parts of it you don't even notice it and the quality actually looks really good, but there are a few parts of the video that don't look so good in the quality. Track InformationTotal Run Time: 28:52 Track Name: In This Like 2012 Release Date: 08/04/2017 Artists: KT ConclusionInterest/Retention --> 5/5 Sound Quality --> 5/5 Production --> 5/5 Sound --> 4.5/5 Lyrics --> 4.5/5 We give "Cerebral" by KT an overall score of 9.6/10!! This is a very, very good score!! It's about onpar with all of Residual's other review outcomes. Whilst simple, and not what we were expecting, the music video is still pretty good an interesting.
It is the first one that Residual Records (or Exploit) have ever made, so they will definatly get better and more confident at it later. It seems like they really want to make music videos with their songs, having asked their followers about it repeatedly on Twitter. Residual Records' first ever music video has been released!! You can find the full music video below for FREE!! What did you think about this music video?
You can find our review HERE, but we want to know your opinions. Tell us in the comments!!
Residual Records is already well established within the community as the most prominent and influential record label.
However, they have never actually released an official video with any of their music. That is until now, at least, because Residual Records have just announced that they will be releasing a music video later today!!
When Will It Release?
Though they didn't release a time publicly, we contacted them in private and they informed us that it would be releasing at midnight (UK time zone).
OTHER TIME ZONE RELEASES: New York, USA --> 20:00 (August 4th) California, USA --> 17:00 (August 4th) How Much Will It Cost?
Luckily, you will be able to watch and download the music video completely FREE.
Where Will It Be Available?
The music video will be exclusive to YouTube and, of course, our website.
This means that you can either check back here when it releases in you time zone, or you can find it on the official Residual Records YouTube channel. Who Will Be In It?
They wouldn't tell us who's song it will be.
However, due to the fact that The Beast didn't actually appear on his own album, The Posse, we think it's most likely going to be his music video - though we don't know for sure. After what feels like a lifetime, the long-awaited album The Posse by The Beast has finally been released!! You can find the full album below for FREE!! This album was announced two weeks ago, and we have finally received it. It really doesn't feel like two weeks - it feels far longer. We have covered everything we knew about this album here, on our website. We hope that Residual Records keep up this habit of releasing all of their music for free. We absolutely love all of the work that they have put out before, and we know that all of their future projects will be just as good! What did you think of this album?
Did you like it? How much did you like it? Did you think it was better than Life Hurts? Whatever your thoughts, make sure you tell us in the comments!! We hope that you enjoy this album as much as we did. |
