25-years old and still as potent as ever. Cypress Hill teams up with Get On Down for this ultra-deluxe 25th anniversary reissue of their 1991 self-titled debut. And when we say "ultra-deluxe," we really mean it. They really went all out with this one, going so far as recreating the group's '91 logo as a 3D physical skull crafted out of custom designed black resin that doubles as a holder for the included remastered compact disc! If that wasn't enough, they've also included is a revealing 100 page hard cover book with detailed liner notes by journalist and author Chris Faraone that dives deep into the stories behind each track from members of the band, plus full album lyrics and rarely seen photos provided by the group. Boo-yah! There's really no better way to celebrate 25 years of Cypress Hill than copping the skull and doing a ritual listening session of this double platinum classic (preferably in a higher state of consciousness). B-Real, Sen-Dog and Muggs keepin' it solid like Ashford and Simpson. Includes all the hits - "How I Could Just Kill a Man", "Hand on the Pump", "The Phuncky Feel One," "Pigs," "Stoned Is the Way of the Walk," "Latin Lingo," etc. Recommended.
