Great review. Fantastic album.

I not really a rap fan but this is pretty good.

Which are you going to see? I seem to remember that there were already 3 other bands competing against Dresden Dolls before you decided to go with them. :/

Zack De La Rocha did vocals?

Dude.. This looks like a kind of hip-hop supergroup. I may consider looking into this. I'm not big on the genre, but I try things.

One of my favourite albums. 5/5 for sure.

Oh, and De La Soul doesn't perform on the album, they're just sampled in Paragraph President.

Dresden Dolls are good, but I think I'd definitely take Blackalicious over them.

Album Rating: 4.5

I haven't posted on this yet :eek:

This album is da shit. Not as good as Deltron but almost.

Album Rating: 4.5

I feel like bumping this mainly cause I love this album so much.

Yawza!!!!
Why is this rated so highly by everyone? Seriously? It's really not that good.
I've listened to it a few times and never gone back to it.
I'll dig it out again and see what all the fuss is about.

Album Rating: 4.5

Hip Hop at its finest. Easily a 5/5.

Album Rating: 5.0

I just picked this up yesterday in favor of a Quasimoto album.

The women backing vocals are amazing, and I love how he incorporates influences of funk and soul into his music.

So far this is an easy 5/5, considering every track is truly great in its own way.

excellent album, im not a fan of hip-hop but this is great.

It's really not that good...I really like the title track, but everything after that feels tiresome more than anything.

Album Rating: 5.0

Really? Now that's a first. I don't even see how they can be tiring, the performing force on the album to me feels so intense and consistently invigorating.

But hey, that's what opinions are for.

Very good album. Slept On like crazy upon release.

First In Flight is a classic, sooo 70's, I love it.

Album Rating: 5.0

I think track 1 should be longer since it's so awesome. It could easily be a full-length song.



EDIT: Feel That Way, First In Flight and Part 2 of Release are so awesome... I can't recall an album this long that I enjoyed so much the whole way through...

The fact that DJ Shadow does work on it makes people overrate it a bit, it's a great album, I was one of the few that new of Blackalicious before this album blew up, but It's definately not a classic, but it's not an album that will ever be duplicated.

And first in flight is one of my fave songs.This Message Edited On 06.10.06

First in Flight does pwn.



I love this album, and I love Blackalicious. Their style is exactly the kind of music that I want to hear.



One of the best hip-hop records ever.

Album Rating: 5.0

If I overrate this album, it has nothing to do with DJ Shadow. I love it much more than Endtroducing.

Album Rating: 4.5

Hell, I didn't even know that DJ Shadow was on this until I read these comments.
