Wow... I don't ever make threads... ever... but I just had to tell everyone how amazing it is and I might... actually buy the cd... which will be like the first cd I've actually bought in years... so people need to download it before anything else, especially all you Sage Francis homo-lovers... this shit is worlds above that Human Death Dance.

I waited all this time, avoided the promo, didn't download the clean version and now just got hands on the retail version. At song 3 now and yes it's wow. Will tell you my final word on it as it's finishished.

Is it anything like his beats on The Cold Vein?

**Simagine** · 03-16-2007, 12:23 PM

No, you can't compare it to "Fantastic Damage" either. They are a lot more busy, sounds flying everywhere kind of beats then what you are used too if you can understand what I'm saying.

40 percent of Fantastic Damage's beats fit that description - I'll have to listen and judge for myself.

**Simagine** · 03-16-2007, 12:49 PM

Well even more then.

I can't remember when the last time was I got hyped over an album release, well this is one of those rare moments. This album has everything I hoped for. The beats I can only describe as apocalyptic noises and I didn't expect anything less. The methaporic content of the lyrics is as incredible. All tracks are full lenght urban landscapes on their own.

I tried to approach my little review as Vulgaresque as I could.

**Vulgar** · 03-16-2007, 12:50 PM

To approach as Sim, I am physically bound to listen to this CD. Thanks for the preview - that fits the description of The Cold Vein, which I am convinced that nothing can compare to.

cool album

**run** · 03-16-2007, 08:39 PM

cold vein is let down by vodul and occassionally vast. the beats are sick yes, but the rhyming is off probably 40% of the time.

i havnt had a full listen to this yet so ill wait to comment.

i must say though, sage francis new album is great.

Is it in any way comparable to 'Stepfather Factory' ? I really loved that track, It was a new sub-genre In my oppinion that I'd name 'Fantasy-gangsta' haha. Experimental, alot of those clashing-objects sounds as In steel factories you know. Pretty detailed sound.

He has more good tracks, but I actually bumped 'Stepfather Factory' In my car.
