That...that is fucking something. Anxiously refreshing for my 4NML HSPTL download. Can't wait for the shirt and the physical CD.

Woohoo! Lyrics in the booklet.

I gotta say this is an extremely well-produced album, probably the best batch of beats we've heard Mike use on one release...the raps are equally good but I'm still trying to digest all that. What a great year for rap.

Enjoying this. Mike kills as usual. Production is nice throughout. Really dig 4NML and Universe Man. Need to listen more.

Mike.

You plan on doing any videos?

Been pumpin Free-writing Exercise for like 10x times now. The whole album is pretty unique and wierd. I was a bit skeptical first but it starts to grow on me. Def worth the money!

maybe this question has been asked a bunch - but what place do you recommend people buy the record? i usually do it thru amazon but do you see much $ from that? is iTunes better?

^^^dope review

yo, mike....quick question from listening to this album. good work as usual, btw, but still my fav. album of yours so far is Rappers Will Die Of Natural Causes. so right now, i listening to your Financial Crisis track and i remember you had another track or two similar to it. have you thought about making conceptual EP based on the financial crisis?

Wow...one of the best albums of the year in a year of amazing albums. 4NML and HSPTL are classic songs, Universe Man and Cobra Commander are

, not a bad song on there either.

Really digging this. All the guests really brought it. Noncando especially. It took me a couple listens, because it's so weird- but I quickly came around to loving all the weirdness*. To me this fits so well next to Cancer for the Cure and R.AP. Music in terms of being just really different, interesting, creatively charged but also reasonably accessible music.

*My only complaints 1- the chorus to Universe Man, but that's just my bias against silly voices. 2- If I was going to unearth any song from Another Roadside Attraction it would be Shoulder Shrug while I like the remix, Financial Crisis was never a favorite.

Here's my review- http://thoughtontracks.com/2012/07/02/a ... nml-hsptl/

This album is pure awesomeness, right up there with History Will Absolve Me and Grief Pedigree for rap album of the year for me.
