This is one of the sicker underground hip-hop albums that’s come out in the past decade. Aesop Rock is a definitive power player in the world of lyrical rap. In this album every line basicly tells a different story, moral lesson, political jabs to the government, and anything else you could ever think about or understand. The content is diverse, ranging from corruption in the catholic church, to the misjudgment of the war overseas.
But aside from government and political attacks, Aesop makes you think about how the human species works as a whole, and “Fast cars, Danger, Fire, and Knives” really demonstrates his talent and lyrical genius. The best track on this album is definitely Zodiaccupunture. The metaphors and similes are on point and the overall message of the song seems coded. But if you listen closely you can kind of decipher it. Another one of the best joints on here is the albums namesake. His flow in that song is probably the best I’ve ever heard out of Aesop Rock. This is one of the first albums I ever bought and definitely one of the best. If you have time to purchase this off Itunes, or download it even, it is definitely worth the time and money.
