Great album from two white guys (getting it out of the way). Amazing beats from Reanimator and rapping along the lines of El-P or Aesop Rock. Amazing lyrics (not the best delivery or flow, but it's still good) supplement the beats really well.

First band signed to Sage Francis' new label, Strange Famous Records.

Thankfully "The Ugly Truth" is accessible even at a subconcious level thanks to Reanimator's beats. The sonic landscape is dark and dirty, bouncing off the walls of your inner mind's eye in beautifully gothic ways. Take "On the Side" for example - Prolyphic may hate "when crowds are easily impressed by double time" but I'm easily impressed by how Re shifts up a song straight out of James Bond into some pianos that pound so hard your trunk will rattle. "The Way I See It" lopes along at a comfortable pace at the start, the melody soothing your soul even as Prolyphic uses the track to paint a stark difference in his philosophy versus the world's. Just past the 90 second mark the song crashes you into hard reality as the beat gets heavy and Prolyphic proudly proclaims "Never would I think something that I love would have a price tag!" Not every song is a sleight of hand though - "Dick and Jane" is whimsical from start to finish, "Playing With Old Flames" is a jazzy journey through Prolyphic's love lost lament, and if "Box Within a Box" can be said to morph it's only to take the original theme and repackage it HARDER.

This was a good Soundgarden song.
