    The Take Over--a post-modern sonic mash-up for Generation O--is Zion I's best attempt at turning their underground crusade into an overground movement.

    Their quirky, inventive take on hip hop deserve a bigger audience. [Mar 2009, p.98]

    The album as a whole is scattershot; it's easy to appreciate the boundaries that Zion I are pushing, but the best authors have great editors. [Feb 2009, p.107]
