"A really forward thinking, unique rap album blending jazz, gospel and R&B instrumentals with cinematic lyrics and themes inspired by Tarantino, Samurai movies and anime." Reply

"This wants to be something more than it is. It's steeped in aesthetic suggestion of something dark, something sinister, something lying beneath the surface under the white lace. Alas and alack if there's in fact some deeper truth or horror or horror-truth hidden under there, Cain hasn't the faint..." [+] Reply

"Pusha T sounds almost as good as Daytona Pusha T on this project, but the production does not for the most part. It starts off well with the fantastic “Brambleton” but the strong start does not continue. While Daytona is heavy sample based like this album; the choice of samples on Daytona create ..." [+] Reply

"One of the wildest R&B records in years. Just when you think you know where a song is heading, it's likely to pivot into something completely different. It's not always seamless, but it's always exciting. I'm three or four listens at this point and I'm still finding new things while still finding..." [+] Reply

"This is the dumbest smart album I've ever heard. Dumb in that the vocals are brash and are not subtle at all. The lyrics are not exactly complex and poetic either. However this album tackles societal ills with such precision. It's also very funny. The biggest themes of this album are violence, te..." [+] Reply

"Most of the time it sounds like someone vomits into my ears. Very unpleasant to hear. He also sounds very dumb. Don't understand the hype, this is not good music." Reply
"Are you kidding me, KGLW? 11 years and 20 albums later, these guys may be hitting yet another peak with IDPLMAL. This self-described "jammy" album features tongue-in-cheek lyrics that offer a smirk and a wink towards contemporary jam bands (the same way Infest the Rat's Nest did, but for heavy me..." [+] Reply

"I listen to hip hop, jazz, rock, electronic, pop, classical, post-punk, trap, RnB, art pop, reggae, metal, whatever, but I don't listen to a lot of punk or grindcore. This appealed to me despite that. Quite a lot of variation in production. And so much justified anger. I'll hear it again and perh..." [+] Reply
