I think this is an interesting avenue they're going down. It still sounds like excellent Aesop Rock, and Rob Sonic is becoming a force to reckon with, after all. Need more listens, but I'm generally happy. Not a perfect album, but I don't find faults in it off the bat...

The only fault i can pick out at this moment is the chorus'. For some reason they're kinda annoying.

Thom Yorke · 05-14-2011, 09:57 AM

Has to be my favourite album of the year. I agree somewhat about the choruses though.

Mrd00d · 05-14-2011, 10:19 AM

I'm not much on hooks. I agree, their presence is giving off a sour vibe. It's not awful, just forced, almost.

Yeah I wish more artists would go with the "madvilliany" model; shorter richer songs without hooks.

That being said i don't think they're terrible on this, aesop usually writes some of the better hooks of any rapper i listen to.

I've still yet to listen to this, but I have it in my download folder. Tomorrow I'll give it a whirl. Any fave tracks from it at this point?

Hey Thom Yorke, how about adding album artwork when you create these threads?

RVCA · 05-15-2011, 02:12 PM

Breakdance Beach is pretty damn funny

Mrd00d · 05-23-2011, 02:07 AM

Table Talk is dope, favorite so far.

Wanted to say really don't like the rhyme echo they do, for example on Mailbox Baseball. It's kinda fun for a second, but... meh. I don't hate it or like it.
