youeatdogdododeepfriedOct 24, 2006yo man, christian is got my vote, sonically this definetly the most interesting thing keith has served up in a while, the rap style and the cuts i think make it quite edgy and different, i agree the first dr octagon was an amzing piece of work, but how should it be followed...more of the same i think not. some totally different crazy mad off the wall style thats how...and they did it

jamesdJul 18, 2006dense, powerfull, diverse. i love it. it's totaly different from the original except in so far as it is a definiite 'crack the molld of current hip-hop' record. they both have that in common.

FSAug 19, 2006This album was dismiised by many upon revival, because it's not the sequel people waied ten years for. Still, it's the truly replayable Kool Keith album we haven't had for over a half a decade. His words are chopped up, but he's still a presence. And the music has more sense of motion than he could ever hope to have producing on his own. An unlkiely semi-classic.

NathanGAug 22, 2006(Fortunately) Kool Keith has nothing to do with this. I'm was very glad when i read that, because this album is a very bad album.

ruthdSep 11, 2006The naysayers are wrong on a lot of points. This record is not only legitimate (sanctioned, supported ect. by Keith), it's the best production Keith has bee involved with since Octagonacologyst. Listen to thing. It's 4-dimmensionaly good. The bad-mouth crowd appear to be some self-apponted scene police and a little clique of Fanatik Js' buddies. Very sad.

DavidB.Jul 18, 2006Actually, he has been out there publicly promoting it and answering questions about the mythology. The one album you're referring to is "Dr. Octagon Part 2" That album he played no part in. That aside, this is a great album

The Return of Dr. Octagon doesn't always make a lot of sense, but that's the beauty of it.
-
The good stuff (those [first] three tracks, and maybe the indignant “Al Green”) provides Kool Keith an appropriate showcase and sounds like nothing else, but for much of this disc, the main man appears AWOL.
-
The Return is supposedly a Kool Keith album, but four of the 14 tracks are skits, two mangle his vocals so the producers can show off their DJing, and one is a Princess Superstar song with Keith on the hook.
