"This is rap's Sex Pistols moment. Rap was getting stale, trapped in the overproduced cliched shit of the late 90s. How many artists followed the rags to riches/drugs/parties/hos and bitches/outsmart cops/guns/bling formula? Eminem was a breath of fresh air. A strong lyricist with underrated flow,..." [+] Reply

""Dude, I wasn't out of inspiration, I was watching." Whatever, it's fun. Dr. Dre comes back with an overproduced set of tracks of which the best thing you could say is that they're catchy. All the while keeping up appearences that he's still the mf OG of rap. Sure Dre, as long as you keep them be..." [+] Reply

"I love the emotion behind the album... it has a cold feeling that matches the album cover perfectly. Have to be in the mood for it, but when I am, this is one of my favorites" Reply

"I don;t think it's so much an album about the end of times as it is a study of the human soul in an enviorment without the artificial conviencies of modern society to distract us. It's a stark, thorny album that never gives you the pat on the shoulder we all seem to eventually be asking for, but ..." [+] Reply

"This album is a cacophony of joy. Guitars, horns and, "lobotomy beats", you can hear the influences talking over each other like drunk students solo cups in hand at some epic party. Nicotine and Gravy is a highlight towards the end it is punctuated by a James Brown snare onto a Stevie Wonder clav..." [+] Reply

"Simply one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. Like going around with a gentle giant who knows all the answers and has favorite star constellations. You feel you can say things to him even though he may not have had a saintly past. The music here works wonders. An album I could get in..." [+] Reply

"The Chemical Brothers doing what The Chemical Brothers do best – melodic, collaboration-heavy, big beat anthems. Dance music for the living room as well as the discotheque. Rating: Brilliant Best track: Hey Boy Hey Girl" Reply
