September 13 street date. "Same As It Ever Was" is the second album by House Of Pain, which followed their massively successful debut album. With this album, Everlast changed his style of rapping considerably and unveiled a much more distinctive and recognizable approach. Sounding twisted, damaged, and maniacal, Everlast grabs the listener's attention and refuses to let go on such wildly entertaining fare as "Back From The Dead", "Over There Shit", and "Runnin' Up On Ya." House of Pain's subject matter - namely, their superior rapping skills and the threat they pose to sucker MCs - is far from groundbreaking. But an abundance of strong, clever hooks and Everlast's psycho-like rapping make "Same As It Ever Was" consistently appealing. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, this edition contains a bonus of remixes of the tracks "On Point" and "Legend".
