Nice

"Rjd2 is nice, but a number of his songs tend to follow a very similar run down chord progression, and there's the feeling that some of the songs didn't sound all that different in their original non-sampled form, less so on this album, more so on the previous. Though, they're good songs. If i were to rate them on their production/sampling originality, i'd have to go 3 stars, but i'm going to rate them on their good songness factor.



On a side note, at only two places this album finds Rjd2 experimenting with a sort of Cornelius sound, and it doesn't go all that well. But the rest of the album far covers for it in to making it appear charming, rather than not."

Nice, but can't beat deadringer

"I have a lot of respect for RJD2, when i got his album Deadringer i couldn't stop listening to it daily. This release is also definitely worth buying, but not if you don't have Deadringer yet."

Simply great music

"this was my first RJD2 album and I loved it. RJ has a wonderful talent as a DJ to piece together various styles of music in a manner I've yet to hear from another DJ. RJ is a hip-hop DJ (you can find him paired up underground rapper Blueprint, to form the group Soul Position), but I wouldn't consider this to be instrumental hip-hop. This is just fresh sounding music and truely a great album. I actually prefer this to Deadringer, even though many would disagree with me."
