"No one is more in the bag for this record. It took To Pimp a Butterfly to beat it for my AOTY the year their debut was released. The Underside of Power does not have the immediacy of Algiers' self-titled, which is really to this record's benefit. There's more room for variety, for atmosphere, for..."  [+]  Reply
