| 3.0 good | Alabaster Jones | December 8th 16 |
I really think Aes had more or less exhausted his creativity by the time None Shall Pass was released. That's not to say he didn't have some good ideas that were executed well here, but there's a whole lot of things that just sound, well, tired. His shortcomings as a producer are very apparent here. It's no surprise the best two beats here, the title-track and "Gun For The Whole Family", were produced by Blockhead and El-P respectively. Lyrically, he's still a wordsmith with a penchant for heavy metaphorical use, but part of what made his best work so great was that while listening to him spit and trying to ascertain what it means, you had a memorable beat backing it up. Here, that's simply not the case and listening to it almost becomes taxing. That said, when the album is on, it's really on, as the aforementioned tracks, "Fumes", "Five Fingers", and "Coffee" are some of the best tracks he's ever made. Truly, it's good that he was able to regain focus on his sound on later projects.

I want to personally thank Aesop Rock for being one of many rap/hip-hop artists that prove that there is still hope for that genre polluted by crap artists. While the single "None Shall Pass" is one of the sickest songs I have ever heard, this entire album deserves a million listens. Aesop Rock is a genius.

Without a doubt a good record, but in my opinion it pales in comparison to his others, (though none shall pass is a killer single)

Good, smart lyricism, and his voice is not annoying, especially for a white guy. But the production just isn't my thing.

I didn't see it coming - but this album is amazing. Catacomb Kids and None Shall Pass are some must-listens.
