"All That May Do My Rhyme" was a triumphant return to form for Roky. From the Buddy Holly-esqe "Starry Eyes" to the semi-autobiographical "Please Judge" it is a solid CD. The musicians involved seem to really understand Roky and it feels like he feeds off this energy. "Don't Slander Me" is full on rave up that burns like a Elevators track, while "Clear Night For Love" is probably one of his better love songs to date.
