    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know it's a novelty record but I do genuinely love it and let's face it it's probably the best remix album of all time. I thought it would make me want to blow my brains out but the meows and purrs have been manipulated really well to make the instrumentals so **** you. I'm also pretty sure you can summon cats with it; I was 5 minutes into the album and I saw a cat walking towards my house... The cat peeps love it. How can you disagree with the cats?… Expand

    Meow the Jewels is a lot better than expected, but it is still not nearly as good as the original album which kind of makes you wonder why you wouldn't just listen to that album instead.

    Whereas the original Run the Jewels 2 was a perfect soundtrack for a night of mayhem, Meow the Jewels is the comedown after all that rabble-rousing.

    Most of the internet’s ideas end up in a wet mess on the kitchen floor, but this one, this one sticks.

    While some tracks unwisely try to replicate the source material's dystopian energy, the best moments come when remixers go blissfully off-script.
