Any new work by Aesop Rock is welcome, and that is no different here. The addition of Tobacco makes this a unique project that sounds seperate from a Aesop proper album with the electro-fusion style beats and production. Although this is far from the dark and moody production one would usually catch on an Aesop record, this isn't his usual work, so that should be expected and not rejected so quickly. I could see this production really growing on the listener after time, but as usual the lyrical ... read more

It may seem criminal to rate a Nirvana record so low, but really I don't view this as their proper debut for a lot of reasons.

This album starts out as harmless ska-punk with little substance but at least decent fun to listen to. By track four, however, the fun has worn off but the record goes on.

There are some at least listenable tracks on this record, but overall this is massively easy to skip on.
