As the first Aesop Rock album I've listened to, it has really grown on me. After numerous listens, I find myself enjoying every single track on the album (I think "1000 o' clock" is a little boring, but that may change).
The production is great, but I think he could have varied it a little more. Near the end of the album, the slightly distorted drums and heavy basslines get a little repetitive.
My favourite tracks are Cycles to Gehenna, Ruby 81 and Tetra.
The lyrics are also great, though I still have to dig into them a little more.
Skelethon lies somewhere between a 7 and an 8.
