"One of the definitive albums of the 90's, a genius work of hip hop/electronic music. It samples jazz,hip hop,electronic,funk, etc and sounds like all of them and nothing like those genres. One of those records that sounds like nothing before it and nothing since. "Midnight in a Perfect World" is truly haunting and beautiful and "Why Hip Hop Sucks in 96" is actually pretty funny."

"This is such a cool album. I just feel cool listening to it. Its simply so unique and out there. Its just bursting with creativity; it feels like a whole new take not just on hip hop or electronic, but music in general. It would be the post-rock equivalent of the genre, I suppose. Other than a few just plain odd samples and the awfully dated sounding intro, its one helluva listen, though it does take a couple listens to appreciate fully.
Also shout out to the number song, the most underrated one on the album and an absolutely fun track.
90/100"

I don't get why people think this is so good or ahead of its time, sounds dated to me like most 90s albums.
Not saying this is a bad album though.
