Blimey, can't believe no-one's commented on this amazing record. Mr. Dumile's dark, witty, smutty and funny alter ego spits out the lyrics while an array of excellent producers drop some of the finest and most innovative beats, providing the perfect backdrop to the twisted world of Vik. So many stand out tunes and one of the best hidden tracks I've ever heard which switches through 5 or 6 classy head-nodding breaks, one after the other. Yo, change that beat, Max!

Good googly moogly. The ever reliable MF Doom ditches the post-Daisy Age riddims and instead fuses some funk into dark glitch-laden electronics.
While 'Let Me Watch' and 'Open Mic Night' follow the more tradition hip hop blueprint, the majority such as 'Rae Dawn', 'Lactose and Lecithin' and 'Never Dead' are clicking, fuzzing digital joints, one step ahead of the rest of the rap pack - as he says himself, he's "rascist against rappers 'cause they all look the same to him".
