Top of his game
This is Kool Keith at the top of his game: crazily free-associating over deeply-layered music and funky beats.

Finally Kool Keith takes a break from his album a month porno-core repetativeness and releases his best album in nearly a decade. If you like Kool Keith at his best (Dr. Octagon, Sex Style, Dr. Doom, Unreleased Sex Style Archives), then your ears will smile at this one. If you've been mind numbingly bored with the half ass produced albums over the years, then hearing Kool Keiths classic nonsensical story telling, and mental picture inducing one liners over TomC3's deep ear tickling production will make it all ok.
A week ago I wrote a review on this album, and I gave it two stars. I listened to it again to give it a second chance, since I like Kool Keith. I have to say now that not only is this the worst Kool Keith album ever, but is one of the worst hip hop albums I've ever heard. The lyrics suck (just mindless droning about robots, spaceships, computers, yawn...), Keith sounds like he's falling asleep at the mic, and the beats have no groove at all. I just HATE this album. Keith seems to be on some kind of 60's/70's "retro" kick (listen to the Analog Brothers album), but if he wanted so much to release an album with dated-sounding background music, he should have just released this as a purely instrumental album. I would have given it a higher rating. This album is absolutely terrible.
IMHO the best Kool Keith release in years. The production is top notch and there is not a dull moment. Definitely check it out
