If any issues arise and we are unable to fulfill your order, we will refund you in full—this is rarely a problem.

The full title of this album, EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT, gives one a good idea of the themes contained herein. The album kicks off with a spoken word piece setting a scene of apocalypse and the end of civilization as we know it. This rather fatalistic prediction is given life on the title tune, but many of the songs here are concerned with less weighty topics. Janet Jackson guests on the propulsive, sexy "What's It Gonna Be," a tune with more carnal concerns. Ozzy Osbourne even turns up for the rallying battle cry of "This Means War!," which is based around Black Sabbath's classic "Iron Man." As always, Busta knocks out some impressively tongue-twisting rhymes over unpredictable, off-kilter beats, in his patented, unrelenting style. Both fearsome and fun, E.L.E. is prime Busta.
