Exquisite Corpse is a near perfect blend of the densely packed, sample heavy, nearly symphonic electronica and off-kilter hip-hop that the last three albums have featured.
-
The WireThe slippery polyrhythmic music is a difficult terrain for MCs to conquer. [#253, p.57]
-
UrbIt drifts like trade winds, which is good for followers and merely intriguing to the casual listener. [May 2005, p.84]
-
Q MagazineConjures a magical, cut'n'paste dimension where genteel lounge sways to disembodied voices, clicks and bleeps. [Apr 2005, p.126]
-
Exquisite Corpse's saving grace is that there is enough variety to its ensemble of guest performers to keep the listener somewhat interested.
-
Where Corpse works, it's merely a repeat of past successes. The few tentative steps into unfamiliar territory are marked failures.
-
UncutToo often his cluttered samples and constant fidgeting shatter [the] fragile spells. [Apr 2005, p.98]
