Dillon G gave it a7:
danger doom rocks the hip-hop scene with their intelligent use of comical rhymes, comic book and cartoon characters, and danger mouse is great at mixing beats and at producing. their best guest appearances were obviously Talib Kweli and Ghostface. (cee-lo was alright.) it was abstract and surreal, but it could've integrated more social commentary and been more straight-forward at times....other than that, very solid first album, and hopefully many more to come.

First and foremost, this CD shows a textbook example on how skits should be done. They are funny and don't interrupt the flow of the abun one bit. That being said, this is a great release. DOOM's rhymes are always fun to listen to lyrically and structurally, though at points I wish that DOOM would have stepped up his rhyming. DangerMouse's beats are on point all the way through. This album does a great job of introducing [adult swim] fans to a new flavor of hip-hop. What a refreshing release that deserves to be in the collection of a hip-hop head that loves creative rhyme schemes (DOOM rhymes whole bars with each other. Put that on your dictionary and suck it.) and some head-nodding beats, go cop it.

entire album is pure genius, from start to finish.... lyrics, beats, skits... perfect. played this everyday for weeks now, always brings me up, everyone loves it. more cohesive than mf's other works. tho i highly reccomend madvillany....slightly on the darker side.
Dan T gave it a9:
Possibly the dopest hip-hop release of 2005
MC Dish gave it a7:
This album is solid, MF Doom got weird, innate ability to come up with lyrics, and Dj Danger Mouse produces the beats well. Rock solid. However, y'all got to worry if this is for real, or if it's gonna be just a trend.
Diablo P gave it a9:
1. Do you like Rap? 2. Do you like Adult Swim? If you said yes or even said maybe to either of those 2 questions go and by this album. It is awesome. DangerMouse and MF Doom are unstoppable.
Wilkes B. gave it an8:
Enjoyable CD, different than anything else I've heard lately. Good beats, funny lyrics. Don't sleep on it.
