He still fills his tracks with clever arrangements, and they're always catchy, even if they don't have the irresistable soulfulness he's known for. Personally I find the beats here to be weaker than on any of his other LPs, but his musical talent remains. The beats are generally more upbeat and less smooth than before. On "The Return of the Regulator," the sound is a little different, adjusting to the evolving West Coast sound following Dr. Were all marked by his wonderful production, his signature g-funk sound with rich instrumentation, laidback vibes and a soulful, slow-rolling feel that evoked images of his sunny California home. This album succeeds in most of the areas that his earlier efforts do, but fails in a few notable areas. His 2001 album "The Return of the Regulator" is his weakest effort, but one that's still worth a listen for his fans in my mind. Warren G has always been and will always be among my favorite hip hop artists, one of the West Coast's most ingenious producing minds.
