    He gets 1 for having a more aesthetically pleasing album cover this time around. To whoever said people hate Har-Mar because "pop has become a dirty word"... The reason Har-Mar isn't that listenable is because his music has terrible production values. He can't rap, he can't really carry a tune... In what way is this pop music, in any real sense of the word? Har-Mar He gets 1 for having a more aesthetically pleasing album cover this time around.

Please, Sean, stop this. You can do better.… Expand

    The Handler only meagerly amplifies what he was already doing, probably pleasing his no doubt respectable cadre of core followers, but handily turning off the rest of humanity.

    Har Mar's best effort to date. [4 Sep 2004, p.72]

    He's got some solid grooves... but a lot of them are borrowed. [Sep 2004, p.136]
