My least favorite of his 3 major label albums. His best is by far "Face Off" and "By Any Means Necessary" is better than this one as well, but this cd still has its highpoints. He stays true to his down south Georgia sound that he loves. He still has those tracks that tell ghetto tales and he tells 'em well his his signature deep, raspy voice. A few great songs on here and a few that aren't to good as well. Still a good album to have if you're a fan but not his best work.

Easily my favorite PT cd. From top to bottom each and every song is tight. The beats I would give a 4 out of 5, but with PT's verses, they make the songs a 5

Pastor Troy has long been an underground legend in the A-Town. Ever since his beef with Master P and the menacing 'No MO Play In GA', Pastor Troy has yet to disappoint. With his first album 'We Ready, I Declare War', He proved he was the most intriguing new artist to hit the scene with fresh original beats and original lyrics. His second album and his first major release 'Face Off' was another classic even though it featured only about 8 or so new songs.

Pastor Troy returned in 2002 with his album Universal Soldier. First off this album doesn't compare to any of his previous albums so scrap that idea. This album is definitely...uhh...different. Some of the songs do have a commercial appeal to them but that doesn't mean they are plain out wick wick wack. He still has the songs with the ultimate rawness we have come to expect from Troy. Despite what many think, Are We Cuttin is a tight song...and has Troy kicking a completely different style previously unheard of from him. Timbaland keeps up with the theme of the album.

Pastor's rawness is displayed on 'Who, What, When Where?' a sinister track that is hard as bones. Gangsta. 'If I Wasn't Rappin' features the extremely underated duo UGK and is a fiyah track. 4 My Hustlaz and YOu Can't Pimp Me are tight songs as well as 'Ima Raise Me A Soldier and Undefeated. NO mo Play IN Ga Pt. 2 is the real gem though. Sporting a great chorus "I'm rEady I'm ready for war bump Peace, I'm Im ready for war I'm in these streets"...that's crunk right there.

But don't be mistaken there is some weak trash on the album such as the horrible Tell Em It's ON as well as the less than stellar Chug A Lug. And When He Comes and If They Kill Me are both wack.

This is a nice album from Pastor Troy. He expands his fanbase on certain songs and on others he gets too experimental and loses focus. But the album is still a blast to listen to and I would recommend it to you.

I was trying to listen to this cd... but after carefully listening to all the tracks and based off his classics We REady I declare war and Face off ( I won't mention I am DSGB cuz I wont) man this is the wackest cd ever came out by him... I lost respect when I heard his commercialized lyrics and beats. What happened to you Troy?

I never really liked the Pastor Troy's style. I gave this CD a chance because his last CD really caught me and the song Champion is stuck in my head. So I got this album. Production is the greatest thing on this album. Pastor Troy basically talks or screams out WAR CRYs on some songs and he didn't rhyme sometimes. However there are decent songs, just not enough to carry the CD.
