That's kinda true. I found the second half to be meh as well, but a couple of more listens has learned me that System Blower and Bitch Please are pretty f*cking good as well tbh. Hacker is kinda odd but I don't necessarily dislike it. The only real con to me is the beginning of Punk Weight. Nice try, but I think the high-pitched voices are just odd. The rest of the track ain't half bad, but the intro is awful to me.
As for Ex-Military: I don't think the second half is worse at all. While I like the overall sound of The Money Store better, Ex-Military seems to have it spread out better. The beginning has Beware, Guillotine and Spread Eagle Cross The Block, the middle has Takyon and Culture Shock and the end has Known For It and I Want It I Need It as some of the best tracks off the mixtape. (Yes it's actually a mixtape.) The Money Store has the best stuff focused on the first half but it's overall a stringer record IMO, although Ex-Military isn't far away from its level.
