    The album features good songs, my favorite song is called, “Can I Take My Gun Up to Heaven?” because its so funny. Also a little ironic. Why would you need a gun up in Heaven? The song also has some harps on it. Do you get it? It’s because their up in Heaven, so they need their harps. The song also has a lot of rocking guitars and a rap section featuring Ice-T. I have listened to this song at least a million times, already I just downloaded it yesterday. It is incredulous that any song could be that good.
