The problem with being recognized as a creative genius is that you've got to live up to it 24/7. Kool Keith was given such a mantle upon the release of the Dr. Octagonecologist album, and it's not something he seems happy about: on the first track of First Come, First Served, he--as Dr. Dooom--kills Octagon. It's the perfect move for Keith, and it sets the tone for the album, which is a mix of humorous tracks ("Neighbors Next Door," which asks you to imagine having Keith and Jacky Jasper living in the next apartment, and "You Live at Home with Your Mom") and songs on which Keith lays down the law ("No Chorus" and "Leave Me Alone"). Few MCs could hope to match Keith, but here--rapping over knocked-off Octagon grooves (produced with Kutmaster Kurt, they're still more innovative than most) and settling lots of personal scores--he sounds like he's just trying to get a bunch of ideas out of his head as quickly as possible. Still, there's an amazing EP's worth of material here, but it's spread over a full album. Minus the filler, Dooom might just be Octagon's better. --Randy Silver

 Horror-core December 12, 2008
Kool Keith re-invents himself again! this is my favorite kool keith album next to sex style. dr. dooom is raw, disturbing, and hilarious! everything you'd expect from keith and did i mention the beats? kut masta kurt is on fire with this release. Just buy it you wont regret it, this is real. Blonde wigs, fake beards, raw meat and even a fractal back cover!
Unlike anything I've ever heard August 28, 2008
First of, if you've never heard of Kool Keith, he's unlike any artist in any genre you've ever heard of. He's so unlike anything that you've ever heard that at first listen it will be hard for you to rate him.
Keith is an old school rapper who was one of the first rappers to use aliases. On this album he raps under the alias of Dr. Dooom. Dr. Dooom is a serial killer, comedic, foul mouthed rapper. With Keith creating this alias, the album has a concept and a storybook feeling to it.
Many people feel that Kool Keith went crazy sometime during his stay at a mental institution. After hearing this album it's hard to argue against them. Though it has its funny parts to it, there is an underlining darkness to the album. The album is very psychedelic.
It goes from horrific, as Keith describes the murderous exploits of Dr. Dooom, to comedic as he calls out rappers and hoodrats from the ghetto, painting a stereotype description of them that's so accurate that it's hilarious.
The album is filled with punchline after punchline that will leave you laughing and amazed at how off the wall they are--- "With animal instincts I left a dead gorilla in a skating rink"
"leave my diapers moist in the back seat of your Rolls Royce"
"Star struck with one buck your girl look like Donald Duck."
"While y'all talk gangsta', I push body parts in shopping carts"
"We stuck together when one of my parakeets died"
Then there are the hilarious skits Mr. Ratt, which is kind of disturbing, and Shopping list.
I just got this album a several days ago and it's already shot up there as the best album I've ever heard.
Classic! February 14, 2008

I've prolly listened to this CD more than all my others combined. It never gets old - just gets better and better. No other CD I've owned is like that. You get tired of them over time. Not this one. Here it is, seven or eight years after its release and it's STILL in my changer. One of the magazines, I think it was Spin, said that Keith is to Hip-Hop what Sun Ra is to jazz. It's a fitting description. That said, it's an acquired taste that isn't for everyone.

If you like Keith this is a no brainer. Buy it. On this album his beats and lyrics fit together better than most of his other cds.
 Here are some sample lines. October 25, 2006
