The Commercial Appeal[2]

God Sound is the second album by the American rap group Boogiemonsters, released in 1997.[3] It was produced by the group and Domingo.[4] It was Boogiemonsters' final album.

The album peaked at No. 47 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 15 on the Top Heatseekers chart. A single, "Beginning of the End", reached No. 89 on the Hot R&B Singles chart and No. 39 on the Hot Rap Singles chart.

Critical reception[edit]

The Washington Informer wrote that "these brothers hit you in the head with common sense and a little Christianity ... the music is hip-hop divinity with a mature voice."[5] The Commercial Appeal thought that "while taking a Book of Revelations view, the group's musings on 'The Beginning Of The End, 'Behold A Pale Horse' and 'Sodom & Gomorrah' reflect the current, apocalyptic trend in gangsta rap."[2]
