    Dead set banger. Anyone waiting for a proper Octagon sequel, it's finally here.

    Dr. Octagon has done it again. delivering an impeccable, fantastic as all hell album from beginning to end. Kool Keith, Dan the Automator & DJ Q-Bert is the perfect combination.

    The Automator sounds uncertain, pitching up between a return to boom-bap and less familiar territory. The first half of the album pitches for the former, while later cuts go for reinvention, plunging Keith into a mire of riffs. [Jun 2018, p.54]

    Automator's cinematic drama provides a stirring backdrop for the Doctor's prolix self-celebration, the ribald "Polka Dots," sinister "Power Of The World" and woozy "Flying Waterbed." [Jul 2018, p.27]

    Keith's surreal wordplay has one leg planted firmly in the future, ensuring Dr. Octagon is still one of a kind. [Jun 2018, p.96]
