CD Reviews

Amazing and orignal underground hip-hop
07/17/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"the most original work i've heard in a long time. every track is bumping, something you can listen to over and over and over and over again."
Good album.

"OK, not to nitpick, but I just had to clarify something misleading that Todd Tregenza wrote. There are not two MC's in this collaboration it is only one, Dose. The other have of Them is Jel, and he's the producer, he doesn't rap.Now that that's been squared away, Them is a very good album. Not for everyone, Dose's style is an aquired taste, aside from that however, once the listener begins to dig Dose, his poetics are nuts. And Jel's beats are just amazing, he's easily one of the best up and coming producers in current hip-hop."
Grass and Fruit

""Grass Skirt, Fruit Hat", friends, it's all about that song. It is so #$@&ing weird! Hilarious lyrics with a serious and melancholy overtone make for a fine listen. I couldn't care less if the album means anything or doesn't. Even if it means squat it still takes someone mentally "interesting" to think up lyrical flow like that. I personally think it's an offshoot of genius.



I also must say I've never experienced an atmosphere anything like what's presented in "Death of a Thespian", and the metaphorical nonsense of "Joyful toy of 1001 Faces" is mind-boggling. I also enjoy the first track, although I can't imagine why. Jel lays down some pretty catchy beats to Doses's ADD-inspired rambling as well.



Themselves topped themselves with "The No Music", where we switch from listening about the "Body of John Brown" to Dose's desire to masturbate in a planetarium and from standard rap beats to thick electronic buzz. Excellent!"
