Long, long time fan of El-P here and since I picked this up the day it was released I haven't been able to put together the words on how I felt for the able even after many (a fucking ton) of listens.
When I first listened to it I was kind of disappointed and thought it would kill my thoughts on a producer and, in my opinion, icon among the hip-hop community but then I gave it a few more spins and the liveliness of each track just blew my mind.
I think this is the best album he's ever done, easily, and tracks like Oh Hail No/Tougher Colder solidify El as one of the unpredictable and best artists in the music industry right now. The instrumentals are fantastic, I can't get enough of it. From start to finish this is a flawless album in my opinion.
Anyhow, I'd definitely say that this is probably one of the best albums I've heard in a really long time as far as originality, production, and just over-all fun. I'm especially psyched to hear Killer Mike's new album now because I hope it's just as fun and ground-breaking.
