Advantages: Mostly great

Disadvantages: A few dodgy bits

The Score was of course the acclaimed album from the Fugess from 1996, and includes the hits Killing Me Softly, Ready or Not and Fu-Gee-La. The album is a really good mix of hip hop/rap, with elements of Dance, and instrumental stuff. The album also has some skits which generally aren't too bad but don't actually add anything to the overall score.

I bought the CD version and on there there are no less than 4 versions of Fu-Gee-La meaning that almost 19 minutes are the same song. That is the worst part of it, as I don't need all the versions, as most of them are rubbish, especailly when that makes up almost 1/4 of the album....

Generally though it's quite good and provides enjoyable listening. It is quite standard fare though of Hip Hop remixing old songs, with more music involved. I think my favourite songs is No Woman, No Cry, which is another remake for the band.
