I gotta say, for me - I dig the fact that Eyedea and Abilities decided to step outside the box and try something different but I think they really only pull it off successfully on like a 3rd of the album, and Im actually a long time fan since the headshot tapes and First Born.
The energy his strictly rap-type-shit brings is ten fold better IMO.
With that said however, I still really dig a few joints on the album.....Im also looking at this from an engineering point as well tho cuz stuff like the electric guitars just dont have enough beef to me, but thats just cuz Im a stickler.
