"Ayyyyy! I finally GOT it! This album has seemed so dumb for me to me for so long. Dry, repetitive, bland, you name a criticism that has been stated below and I have had that opinion. But after just coming back to it again and again periodically, it finaly clicked, as all good albums do. There is ..." [+] Reply

"This albums' slow climb to the very top is representative of how it affects the listener. I first heard it and was like "yeah that was fine". Then months passed and I gave it no attention. Then I went back to it, and realized how much more than 'fine' it actually is! If it doesn't capture you on ..." [+] Reply

"One could argue that this is A Tribe's best record. I'd still put The Low End Theory first but this is undoubtedly a powerful, emotional, and worthy final outing from one of the greatest rap groups of all time. Highlights for me are Whateva Will Be, Space Program, We The People..., and Dis Genera..." [+] Reply

"Glam-art-rockers were up and coming, full of talent, and sure of it. FYP feels a little too self-consciously charismatic to provide the effortlessly classy pop they became known for, but is interesting enough to fool around with from time to time." Reply

"OK so why do I feel this is a "music equivalent of Tree of Life". Both works can be described with the word "epic", they're lengthy, full of interesting ideas, exhilarating, techincally very impressive, and even the theme is somewhat similiar with constant nostalgic "looking back", to the time of..."

"Out of nowhere and right at the end, this album may be my AotY. It's such a detailed, and engrossing album. And the shit is fresh while still being totally reminiscent of the sound of "There's A Riot Going On" or "Dirty Mind" or , vocally, Al Green. And yeah, again, the attention to detail on the..."

"Percussively, I listen and just think: "why aren't more people doing this?" and "why hasn't anyone done something like this in this way before?" Yes, it's good. It's inventive, creative and just... very very percussive. There is a feel of all the sounds being created w/ kitchenware utensils and p..." [+] Reply

"Ian Curtis killed himself after listening to The Idiot, maybe if he had listened to this one, he'd still be kicking it. Now the Idiot is a good album, but this one just kicks with life, Iggy's on fire and the band are just fanning the flames. Falls apart slightly near the end, but ends with a goo..." [+] Reply
