An uneven listen isn't necessarily a bad thing, but after writing my review for this a while back and giving it a few more listens I must say it's a bit too uneven to deserve a 4 rating. Not bad by any stretch of the reality, but certainly not their best. |

While this may have been there little dive into "heavier" territory I feel it stands strong as an enjoyable album and has a more progressive feel than its considered-a-classic-brother, In Absentia. |

I don't like the label of "average", but I don't like the idea of calling this "great" either. So I'll say it's a 3.3! After a few more spins, despite my lack of veteranship in the field of hip-hop, this is truly something unique. Almost "progressive" rap in my eyes. Like the soundtrack to a stream of consciousness ladden with disdain and horror. A spectacle of sorts. You'll never know what's around the next corner. |

So little variation leaves a lot to be desired here. The pro is that it's like listening to a mountain actually spawn from the earth's crust. The con is that it's just a boring mountain. Huge in scope, ferocious in style, but just plain boring in the end. |
