    The music alone nearly justifies the cost, improving on the dense atmosphere pervading Aesop's mostly self-produced Bazooka Tooth, and returning ace producer Blockhead to his prime role in the control chair.

Blockhead's beats are clean and vibrant complimenting Aes' flow well (something I believe Aesop must have to make his rhymestyle and message concise and paletteable to a broader audience).
