Insane sophomore album October 29, 2004 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This album has no regrets and it feels like it. There's no standard commercial formula, no overblown hype. Abstract Rude, an MC I've never even heard of, invents a whole new style that coexists with Daedelus' strange music, and Busdriver brings his signature delivery to a new level. This album is hip-hop, it's not electronica or none of those fringe genres that music snobs classify music into to make themselves feel smarter. This is pure, true hip-hop. With offbeat, funky beats, and cutting-edge lyrical flow, this remains one of the more underrated albums of 2003 (as well as Diverse's overground debut). If you truly love hip-hop, ditch your dumb Outkast and Talib Kweli records. This is the future of music, the rest are just trying to bring back the past.
