CRITIC REVIEWS

By no means a concept album (the song titles are a mere afterthought) DOOM as FOOD focuses his attention as always on kooky couplets, subtle trash talk and distinct beats ladled with scores of sci-fi and cartoon samples.

Special Review: Farewell Supervillain
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Going on a road trip with my family during a chilly Christmas 4 years ago. Before that point, around November, I've heard MF DOOM's name being thrown around in music Facebook groups before. I've seen music YouTubers hold him in such high regard. Why not give him a listen? I looked him up on YouTube and I saw a song called All Caps. The dusty vintage sound of the piano ascending and descending in a looped fashion, ... read more
The fact that DOOM released this in the same year as Madvilliany is beyond impeccable. One of the greatest to ever do it.
