Anybody who has much experience with Mush Records probably knows that they should expect something out of the ordinary. This record doesn't fail in that respect, with both emcees bringing a Kerouac-style flow, with the only real requirement being that lines rhyme. "That's a nice watch bro / Bought it at Costco / God I like pasta / God is a monster." and the like runs throughout the record. You would think that this would get tedious fairly quickly, but thanks to the great instrumental work of Daedelus, the two emcees distinct voices become as musical instruments; their unintelligible dialogue serving as a kind of accompaniment to the assortment of samples and scrounged instruments that are used. A comparable work is that of odd nosdam with instrumentals on my favorite Mush album, cLOUDDEAD. Taken as a whole, the ranting of the emcees against, well, everything and the genius beats make this four star record. - Clamor |
