I always enjoyed this but it was definitely weaker than the previous two albums, and was more focused on the guest MCs than the production. Also, it's definitely longer than it should be. Still a great listen.



Foscil - Foscil (2005)
Instrumental hip-hop jazz-rock post-rock goodness. An incredible album by a very little-known band. So little-known, in fact, that me and two other dudes I introduced this to are the only ones on RYM that have rated it.



Shellac - Dude Incredible (2014)
The first Shellac album I've heard that I felt was too short.
