I'm not a rap guy at all, but this absolutely slaps. It feels like a great mix of modern rap and old school NWA style stuff.

The production on this album is insane. RTJ4 on steroids. Aesop Rock only gets better with time.

If Aesop could be described in one word, it would be: Consistent. A solid, creatively produced, and literally word-bending "trip" into Aesop's stories.

The lyrical, conceptual juggernaut Aesop Rock turns in a massive quasi-spiritual journey that is a little too long, but mostly delivers solid-ass material. Also opinions on the album may vary depending on how grating you find his voice.

NYC-born and Portland-based abstract hip-hop legend Aesop Rock, aka Ian Matthias Bavitz comes through with his 11th album under this alias, but comes after his collab record with producer Madlib on Malibu Ken. For this record, he continues to make dense and abstract lyrical oceans for listeners to pick through as you are taken on a journey through the spirit world. For me, this record starts out so strong that it?s hard to imagine this even coming down to a 3/5. However, what holds this record back so much is that it loses so much momentum as the album goes on. This LP should not have been almost an hour in length because it starts to bleed together as you get to the 30-minute mark. Still, some really solid songs in the front half and the last 3 or 4 tracks are really solid as well. If you like dense and poetic lyrics in very theatrical ideas, then this record is for you.

Glad Aesop is at least moving a little further away from the accessibility he had baked in to Skelethon and The Impossible Kid. This album is a little less cohesive and it's better for it. The tracks have more room to breath. Don't understand the specific album cover criticism as Aes has had questionable album covers pretty much his entire career. I digress, this slaps.

Aesop going full abstract on this one. Establishing himself as the narrator of a weirdass story, Aesop once again only knows one way to describe the hallucinatory images he got in his head: abstractly. Truly, the dude cannot directly communicate what is happening in his tales. This makes for an interesting if difficult album, especially in the second half - where the songs are simply less engaging than the first half's.

Man this dude is 44 and just pumpin' out banger after banger... Love how he's progressed throughout his career. Dude is a genius lyricist and becoming a god damn beast at producing beats. I do think the vocal delivery (maybe as far as production goes?) has been improved since Impossible Kid and makes more sense for his style. Anyway love this dude and what he does.
