"Top to bottom this is just one of most beautifully produced rap albums ever I've heard. And the raps are so damn sexy too. Man, I just think this is basically a perfect, filler-free, all banger filled masterpiece. There's absolutely no fat here. No bs skits, nothing but absolutely astounding beat..."  [+]  Reply

"An album everyone should hear once. Not something i feel driven to return to often but definitely a worthwhile listen ... and by worthwhile I mean bone chillingly terrifying."  Reply

"Damon Gough's greatest album. It's an eclectic record, full of fantastic songs and is an excellent musical journey through different moods and styles. A modern day British classic."  Reply

"The tone of this album is a melancholic and meditational mixture of Western and Eastern existentialism allied with a sense of Christian piety and exotic detachment. Gabriel's masterpiece is first and foremost an ethereal and evocative study in 'sound' which acts as a kind of catalyst for the semi..."  [+]  Reply

"It's taken about a half-dozen listens (of the offline version), but it finally clicked. There really just isn't anything quite like this. It's a dark, hard-hitting, no-holds-barred gauntlet of killer bars and mind-bending beats. Yeah, maybe you could trim this down, but why would you want to when..."  [+]  Reply

"Now this one is also really good. The opening song is a real burst of energy that fits the subject-matter really well. You really feel like you can get up and do whatever the fuck you want, right now. The ending of the song is such a heavy groove, just lovely. Through the album, the bass-playing ..."  [+]  Reply

"I have very mixed feelings on this album. On one hand, the reissue is great. More and better tracks from what the original offered, to say the least. The problem with this album stems from the night itself. Not the recording or producing or tracklisting, but the show itself. The fact of the matte..."  [+]  Reply

"In my opinion, Wilco lost its experimenting creative edge and slid a bit towards adult contemporary fare on albums "sky blue sky" and "wilco (the album)". There were a couple songs like "bull black nova" and "impossible germany" that stretched the new, adult wilco sound, but for the most part, th..."  [+]  Reply
