referencing Float, CD, Album, MH-202

Looking back at this release, it's remarkable that most of Aesop Rock's defining traits are in place. His fluency mixed with flow over rocking beats is here along with production by himself and the famous production of Blockhead.

The production is neither as tight as found on Labor Days nor as brilliantly inventive as Bazooka Tooth, but it does have an edge over most hip hop of today.

The most interesting songs to be found are the collaborations: Slug turns in a verse or two, as does future co-Def Jux member, Vast Aire. Vast Aire's contribution is lacking to some degree, but it is the odd coupling with Dose One that turns out the most exciting track on the album. Another great album released by Mush, and stepping stone in Aesop's fantastic catalog
