"It feels strange to be starting off what is ostensibly a list about the Western canon of music from the 1960s with an album that is unashamedly not Western.

"Nas' best since at least God's Son, and perhaps the first truly grown up mainstream hip-hop album." Reply
"Cunninlynguists makes great records with great concepts. This is no exception. Though not their best work it still has the ability to take you on a trip. Notable songs: Hard as They Come, Stars Shine the Brightest On the Darkest of Nights, Looking Back." Reply

The album itself is their first concept album (each track represents an institution from the argentinian governme..." [+] Reply

"Part of me loves this album and part of me loves just the parts... while it is an album I feel each song is an experiment and should just be appreciated for that moment. The collection wears out it's interest after a while for me. So again stellar performances, but album, it's ok." Reply
