  1. Labor Days is a wonderfully complex piece of work.
  2. He does his best job yet at balancing smarts and accessibility.
  3. It helps that Labor Days is as terrific a record as anyone could ask for, really, and you should buy it.
  4. The backing tracks, brimming over with strings, guitars, vaguely Middle Eastern elements, and soundtrack snippets, are more musical than much hip-hop, proffering the perfect gateway to Aesop Rock's verbose world. Dig the dark sounds as you try to decipher the deep thoughts.
  5. While Labor Days isn't perfect it is definately the underground Ghostface's most satisfying release to date.

    A beautifully complex and lyrically dense album, quite possibly Aesop Rock's best work. Each track is a distinct, captivating riff off of the album's main theme. Full Review »
