Released on October 13, 2009, Carried Away was the group's seventh album, a testament to the group's unparalleled longevity and relevance in a quickly changing music industry. As explained by The Onion in their AV club review "Carried Away proves that Thes One and Double K will be pumping out sunny, laid-back party anthems long after the Internet memes grow stale".[1] Carried Away debuted at #5 on the iTunes hip hop charts and was featured by iTunes, who noted: "As usual with PUTS, Carried Away is a self-contained effort with no guest producers or MC cameos, just entertaining rhymes and straightforward beatwork dotted with well-placed samples meant to delight hip-hop purists everywhere."[2] Carried Away debuted on the Billboard charts at #23 on the Heatseeker Charts.[3] Fans who had followed the group for years noted in many submitted reviews that the album was a return to classic PUTS material.[4] Though demand to tour the US following the release of Carried Away was strong, PUTS were determined to break new parts of the world and proceeded to tour Brazil and then the southern cape of Africa following the release of the album.[5]
