    NehruvianDoom might be slight, but it deftly whets the appetite for more. [Nov 2014, p.89]

    Had it been released by a lesser pair, this album would doubtless by hailed as full or potential, the first LP from a vital new force in alternative hip-hop; however, as it has been released by these two, it falls jarringly flat when one considers what they’re capable of.

    Weighing in at a terse 32 minutes in length, spanning eight tracks plus an introduction, the album is a cohesive and methodical offering yet because of the constrained spin time, neither Bishop Nehru nor MF Doom have the space to flex their creative impulses and push the envelope in their respective spheres.

    This generation-crossing collaboration feels like a record lodged in a sort of chronological rut, one where a young artist fronts an old-sounding record that sounds like it could've been released at any point in his lifetime--and helmed by any number of MCs that could've sounded like him.

    Nehru is essentially indistinguishable from any number of bedroom rappers clogging Soundcloud with their freestyles to Doom's decade old Special Herbs instrumentals. [Nov 2014, p.76]

    This dropped-ball feeling that NehruvianDOOM exudes derives from how it handles and telegraphs (or rather how it doesn’t handle how it telegraphs) its supposedly unifying theme.

    I finally sat down and listened to this and i must say that it is a solid album. The only song I'm not a fan of is Mean the Most.

Bishop Nehru has a potential to be great and this project shows it. Full Review »

    This is a dope album. If you don't like Bishop rhyming and the Villain producing you're in the wrong place. The album weighs in at 9 tracks,This is a dope album. If you don't like Bishop rhyming and the Villain producing you're in the wrong place. The album weighs in at 9 tracks, or 10 if you buy it on iTunes. The beats are mainly new. Mega-nerds will recognize 2 beats from the Special Herbs inst albums, but the beats are flipped and spruced for the album. Stand out joints include the Madvillain reunion Disastrous, Caskets, Darkness and Coming for you. Full Review »
