I Saw Aesop: A Guide To Ian Bavitz (lyrics, hardcore)

ProggyMan · 01-28-2008, 01:37 PM

So basically I'll review his discography and provide a biography and updates on new recordings, concerts, interwiews, etc. I'll probably be able to get some stuff up by next weekend.

Aesop started out his career without much fanfare, except from hardcore fans of underground rap, on his, there's only one word for it, muddy debut, Music For Earthworms. While certain tracks like Substance, Plastic Soldiers, and Abandon All Hope showcased his dense rhymes, and murky productions without becoming overly eccentric, most fell short of the perfect bland of accesability and thoughtfullness achieved on later albums(Float, Labor Days).
This is certainly not a good place to start, as most listeners will probably get blown off by the more often than not unintelligible lyrics without the sparkling production to keep them coming back till' the words sink in.
Favorite Lyric: Aesop mother****in' rock...(Repeats multiple times)
Favorite Song: Substance

Aw, sorry people, my comp crashed and I lost reviews of Float and LAbor Days along with a half-finished biography. This is going slower than I thought.
