In my mind, Temples is the best Cypress album...hands down. I've always thought of it as Muggs's own personal version of Srgt. Pepper. "Killa Hill Niggas" gives me goose bumps every time i hear it. But the stand out track for me is "No Rest for the Wicked." Never heard Ice Cube get served like that before or since. Man i can’t believe you forgot how classic this record is brother.

When I bought this in '95, I thought this was the future of Cypress Hill. "Illusions" is classic Cypress, and "Funk Freakers" is one of my favorite songs to listen to riding in my car on a rainy night. Makes you feel like creepin!

I think this might be their most consistent record from start-to-finish. Definitely worth re-visiting. Muggs' production here pretty much rivals anything that ever came out of Bristol.

It's definitely not as ground-breaking as their debut and it completely moves away from the singles approach that got them on MTV, but the whole smoked out vibe out-trickied Tricky. If I had to make of list of "California albums" that go completely against the public perception of the state this one might top the list. I guess they thought the left turn would fly in the alternative era but the window for that kind of stuff was closing fast. Kind of a shame, a turn towards the psychedelic would have been way more interesting than the frat-rap they ended up going with. For my money, actually their best over all album.

I may have to go back and revisit this, then. I believe I listened to it exactly once upon purchase, smacked my palm against forehead, and stashed it away since. How metal is that cover, though?
