Although Dan's beats are a very important part of the Dr. Octagon package, it really requires Kool Keith's presence to make it really special. Therefore, this is only really for the die-hard Keith/Octagon/Automator fans, and serves as a good way to hear the music behind Keith's wild raps. Stick to the original album.

An absolutely excellent slice of intelligent, abstract and generally crazy rap from Dan the Automator and Kool Keith. Simply put, if you like rap, you owe it to yourself to try this album. The beats are smooth and samples are very well chosen for each song, and Keith's rapping is the best it's ever been, featuring some hilarious and typically nonsensical rhymes - but then again, the album is a concept piece centering around an alien doctor who molests his young female patients. Highly enjoyable and a great listen from start to finish.

Beware of bootlegs. They got the parental advisory sticker printed on cover. Original pressing has a real sticker on it. Original pressing also has a sticker on back of the cover with the complete tracklist on it.

This is one of my all time favorite albums. Automator's beats are so simplistic and Kool Keith's (Dr. Octagon) lyrics are hilarious at times and some time just down right awesome. What's great about this album is that it features three great artists DJ Shadow (Before Endtroducing), DJ Qbert, And Kut Master Kurt (Who does production on "A Visit To The Gynecologyst"). The Cuts, Beats and Lyrics work so well together and it's a shame that Kool Keith's career seem to go down the tube from then on. If you like Kool Keith though check out his free style on Jurassic 5's Power In Numbers it’s hilarious.
