As well as containing new tracks, Same !@#$ Different Day contains new lyrics over remixed beats from Lyrics Born's 2003 debut album, Later That Day. Some versions of the album includes a bonus DVD, featuring music videos, a documentary, and footage from the 2004 tour.[3]
Dave Dierksen of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying: "This is the sound of soul, and it's what's been missing for far too long in hip-hop."[8] Vish Khanna of Exclaim! called it "an essential album for both old and new fans of Lyrics Born."[5]
