RapReviews

Alexander Engelen from laut.de rated TOS (Terminate on Sight) with two out of a possible five points. He sees no progress on previous releases and the album is "back to normal". The sound is "too thin, the drum sets too conventional and there is no trace of fresh ideas". Only the first song Straight Outta Southside is highlighted positively.
