Anyway, I'm on a first listen and I can already tell it's excellent. The production is just stellar, with a stronger hip hop focus than Why? but in a completely original way.

Check out For Hero: For Fool, I personally like that one more.

I plan to.

God, I read his interview on Pitchfork and man, there is a lot going on behind these albums. Most of it seems to be just in his head though, there's no way I could piece together the songs to come up with that story.

Yeah, Doseone is a completely different breed of human. The videos of him on youtube are pretty entertaining. People complain about his voice but I don't really have a problem with it, the sh*t he comes up with makes it worth sitting through.

For Hero: For Fool is a good album, I agree.. gets better every time I listen to it.

I just bought Why? "Alopecia" because it's a popular release, and accessible. I really like it so far. Chuch!

I appreciate certain projects within Anticon, namely Hymie's Basement, Why? and ClouDDead, but i dont think it has anything on the quality of Def Jux

deep puddle dynamics is in my top 10-20 h/h albums, doseone is a genius, gotta love those scribble jam vids he comes with capital B Bars.
Not had the time to explore much beyond cLOUDEAD, who make Sounds that pleaseth the ear. Not so sure about the schmindie stuff, although I think the hip-hop fusion renaissance of Anticon has got to be respected. 'Genre' does not seem to be a term in their lexicon.
