Temples Of Boom is easily the best Cypress Hill album to date... and the least know of Cypress Hill's work.. which is unfortunate, for example, see the ammount of reviews written for this album compared to their other albums. DJ Muggs production on this album is his best in my view... dark and psychotic, which fits B-Real and Sen Dogs (not on the album much) raps perfectly. The beats are just so undeniable... even thou the raps are about the same ol' same ol' (weed) it is still great to hear B-Reals nasal raps. My favorite tracks are Spark Another Owl, Illusions, Boom Biddy Bye Bye, Killafornia and Everybody Must Get Stoned, and more...

Cypress Hill has had great sucess with their Black Sunday. This CD takes more of a dark approach then their past albums. The whole album has dark, mysterious beats that match the great lyrical mind of B-real. Pick this album up! There is not a negative side to this CD. Its one of the best cypress hill albums- if not the best, You Wont Be Dissapointed!

-(Illusions the best song, F**k it there all good!)

This is arguably Cypress Hill's best album to date,FLAWLESS ALBUM very rare in todays hip hop I mean hip pop.D.J MUGGS production on this album is SICK,that's why he is one of the best producers in hip hop. ONE LOVE TO D.J MUGGS A PRODUCERS PRODUCER.

When you look at the enriched history of Cypress Hill, you see different flavors of music. One of their early attributes was the rare ability to crossover rap into the rock genre with success from the very beginning with their self-titled classic Cypress Hill album. Following the triumph of their debut album, Black Sunday mixed a similar formula for success. However, on their third album, Cypress Hill released what many fans desired for years, an utterly hip-hop banger.

Temples of Boom was seventh heaven for their rap-oriented followers; while fans of their rock-twist weren't highly impressed. As a result, Temples of Boom experienced platinum success, however, many fans voiced their dislike of the album to their record label (Sony / Ruffhouse) and other parties of interest. This ultimately (After IV) lead to mediocre albums such as Skull & Bones and Stoned Raiders, which featured a "forced" rock concept to each album respectively. While these albums received slight praise within their rock fanbase, it perplexed their rap followers due to the novelty that was Temples of Boom.

Cypress Hill's latest release Till Death Do Us Part, is a more hip-hop oriented album, however, still not as impressive as Temples of Boom (or even IV). Temples of Boom was the pinnacle of DJ Muggs. The instrumentals were earth-shattering and still to this day, these tunes are ahead of their time. The dark and sinister sounds accompany B-Real's flow perfectly. A dash of Sen Dog here and there, made good use of the album as well. In terms of a "street" album, Temples of Boom is as rough as it gets. The production is hard, the lyrics are gritty, and the ending result is almost flawless.

Cypress Hill's debut album is entirely classic, especially when you consider the sound the album introduced to the rap industry in the very early 90's, but the mid-90's release of Temples of Boom blessed the hip-hop community with a pure style that highlighted the group's greatest talents (especially that of DJ Muggs). Fans divided between genres forced 50/50 albums (rock & rap), and because there was little to no direction on these projects, the result was mediocrity. Temples of Boom was the only Cypress album with an entire direction focused on hip-hop music, however arguably their best.

Close the doors, dimm the lights and "spark another owl" as you put this album in your music-temple!!! Cypress hill is setting the mood for a laid back evening with their best album!! Yes people, this album is better then Black sunday because B-real, Muggs and Sen dogg kick it like they should: slow,dark beats with the smoke related rhymes equals a dope cd!!!

Spark another owl (my number one 'marihuana-track') contains my new lifequote: 'I aint got no kinda love for a brotha who comes to the party with no bud'. YUP; B-real is telling yall how it is and sen dogg backs him up!! BUY this one!!
