Leading off Terminal Illness is The Mist of the Darkness which really doesn’t heat fans up off the start, but instead eases them into some tranquil, laxidazical type vibe. The Intro in the number two spot also doesn’t send fans into a frenzy. Its with Noodles that fans get a real taste of this albums purely raw essence. A tight beat, and hard hitting lyrics lite fans ablaze. The album remains continuously explosive through-out.
