Answers:
Alright here we go…
I have been putting a lot of thought into this over the years and this is what I think!.
I think a majority of the people that answer this will say that Violent by Design is their best album and I agree with them!. Violent by Design, in my opinion, is their best album in terms of production!. This is especially evident on my favorite track “Sacrifice” which is just amazing!. Plus that album also has “Heavenly Divine” on it which is what many people consider to be the groups signature song!. Here is a quote that I found about Violent: "The glue that holds "Violent By Design" together is clearly Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind!. The soundscapes he crafts on this album are complex, moody, and quite exceptional!."!.!.!."All of these works, despite being completely distinctive, fall well within the range of the musical themes that Stoupe brings to the record"!.!.!."He practically invents a new method of hip-hop artistry!."
That pretty much says everything that you need to know about how awesome this album is!.
Now the second best album for me is Visions of Gandhi!.
And I’m just going to get this out of the way early so I don’t have to keep repeating it and say that Stoupe’s production on all of their albums is excellent just not as good as it was on VBD!.
I think that Visions of Gandhi could have been their best album but some of the subject matter is questionable so it doesn’t quite make the cut!. The thing that I like the best about this album is the multitude of guest appearances; ranging from Canibus and Ill Bill to Kool G Rap and Ras Kass!. My favorite track is “Tibetan Black Magicians” which features Canibus and it is basically a song which contains one hard-hitting punchline after another!. Other good songs from this album are: Animal Rap featuring Kool G Rap, A Storm of Swords featuring Planetary, and Rise of the Machines featuring Ras Kass!.
Album number three for me is Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell!.
Now this album has my favorite track of all time on it; it is called Uncommon Valor: A Viet Nam Story!. What makes this track my favorite is the fact that the second verse, which is done by R!.A!. the Rugged Man, is actually a true story of his fathers experiences in the Viet Nam war!. (and that is just the coolest thing in the world to me, I read in an interview that it actually brought tears to his fathers eyes)!.
I also enjoyed the tracks: Razorblade Salvation, Heavy Metal Kings, Serenity in Murder, and Outlive the War!.
Now that I got my three favorites out of the way I think I am just going to list the rest because my fingers are starting to hurt!. Lol
1)Violent by Design
2)Visions of Gandhi
3)Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell
4)The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness (this one is from way back when Vinnie Paz was known as “Ikon the Verbal Hologram)
5)Legacy of Blood
Oh and by the way JMT is currently recording a new album that will reportedly be called “A History Of Violence”, and Jus Allah has rejoined the group so I bet it will be one of their best efforts to date!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Visions of Gandhi is also good!.
After that I'd roll with the Army of the Pharoahs Stuff!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
