 (86 Customer Reviews)
"Never scared to be different," as he puts it, Ludacris didn't need a deal to make a name for himself. He was already a homegrown star in the ATL--selling his self-produced, independent first album straight out of his trunk--before he got put on. But when he did get called up to the majors, he did it in a big way. As the first artist signed to Def Jam South, under the tutelage of Scarface, Luda effortlessly dropped hit after hit, including memorable collaborations with Nate Dogg, Pharrell, and Mystikal. Four major label LPs and a string of acting roles later, Ludacris returns with his fifth Def Jam effort, RELEASE THERAPY, which carries more than a few potential club anthems (most notably the Pharrel-produced banger "Money Maker") and asserts his spot among commercial hip-hop's top dogs. The guest-list features rap cameos from Young Jeezy, Field Mob, and Beanie Siegel, radio-friendly R&B hooks from R. Kelly, Bobby Valentine, and Mary J. Blige, and an MC's dream line-up of hitmakin' producers that includes Kanye West, Pharrell, Jermaine Dupri, and Rick Rubin.

Rolling Stone (p.132) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he therapy tunes are more convincing, particularly 'Runaway Love' -- a powerful song about women in bad situations that recalls Kanye West on 'Roses'."
Spin (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The anger is a new look for him, as is the role of political pundit or chronicler of social ills."
Entertainment Weekly (p.78) - "His fifth major-label album offers enough fierce dis tracks and exuberant punchlines to all but ensure a top 10 debut." -- Grade: B-
Vibe (p.158) - "RELEASE is his most serious work ever....Even the foreboding Billy Paul sample on the hook signals Luda's glimpse into corners previously avoided."
XXL (Magazine) (p.149) - "Luda manages to deliver social commentary with equal skill..."
XXL (Magazine) (p.137) - "Taking a curtain call of sorts, 'Cris was finally ready to get personal on wax." Ludacris Release Therapy Songs Release Therapy Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Yeah whateva

i enjoyed every track on this album
my favorite tracks off this album were do your time, tell it like it is, end of the night, ultimate satisfaction. good music to vibe with and lyrical, just too damn bad that there was only 13 tracks that was the downside

| | Scream Loud!! The Fenton Story CDs (2007)
Release Therapy songs
$28.75
Based in the Grand Rapids, MI, metro area, Fenton Records was not a unique phenomenon. Like many other small regional labels in the '60s, Fenton would record any band able to cough up enough cash for a single that might be little more than a vanity pressing designed to be handed out to friends and family, given to radio, or perhaps sold at gigs. Some of these labels were little more than traps for bands; others wound up cutting some blistering rock & roll. Fenton falls into the latter camp, as its head honcho, Dave Kalmbach, was a blend of musician and mogul who wanted Fenton to be a place where local groups got the chance to see what it felt like to act like a real band by laying down tracks in a studio. Although the label never broke out of Michigan -- likely never making waves outside of western Michigan, to be honest -- there is a peculiar purity to the 45s Fenton rapidly released in the '60s, as they preserve a whole gaggle of bands that were bashing out three chords for the love of the music with little hope of hitting the big time. As such, the double-disc/triple-LP set Scream Loud!! The Fenton Story -- a collection of these rare, collector-cherished 45s assembled by those very same collectors -- almost functions as a piece of regional folk art, capturing bands from Grand Rapids, Holland, Lansing, Muskegon, and elsewhere in western Michigan and thereby offering a specific portrait of a place, or perhaps more specifically a time. Western Michigan wasn't that dissimilar from other areas of the U.S. in the '60s, as there were garage bands everywhere from California to Connecticut, and they had the same influences as everybody else, but as they had no scene or sound to call their own -- or even future superstars, as only guitarist Danny Gatton cut early work at Fenton -- the Fenton sides illustrate just how deeply the garage rock phenomenon of the '60s really ran.
Band after band on Scream Loud!! recycle the same sounds -- the tinny organ, the razor-thin guitars supported by tin can drums -- and some bands even go so far as to cut faithful covers of beloved inspirations, as when the Soul Benders tear into Love's "7 and 7 Is" with a bit too much reckless abandon. As such, much of this is generic but in the best possible sense; it may not define the genre but it embodies it, embracing all the conventions long before they turned into clichés. To anybody who isn't an aficionado -- and quite frankly, anybody who isn't an aficionado has no business with this collection, as only aficionados will have the patience and temperament to sort through this -- this may all sound similar, but this is garage ...
