then you must be like most of the other folks in the world who are sad folks who have not yet heard of the shapeshifters and what they do for the world which is the only thing worthwhile for the world which is the brave undoing and the brave speech-giving of monumental and even transubstantial importance, by means of hippo-dromatic rhythmics and super-annuated lower psychosis, braced between botany and solar technocracy, their rhymes being rhymes or not rhymes but political bugs bunny to the socially sickened and otherwise depraved sons and daughters of the erstwhile yosemite. please donate your blessed ears to the shapeshifters. it was my brother who turned me to the darkside and back through the influence of the holy ghostly awol-one, and then I could not help but continue my quest by embracing all the rest of all the other brothers. the freestyle sessions are very dear, but this album is, I believe, the grandest achievement, the beginning to the end, looking always to the beginning of the end and the ending of the beginning of the rebirthing cycle. Not to be overlooked. But please to be listened to, comrades. What else would you prefer to be infected with?

This is a great shapeshifters album. It was more than I expected. This album is full of deep thoughts mixed in with some great beats. I would really recommend this album to those who enjoy underground hip hop.

First I would like to say, I'm from LA and I see emcees like AWOL one and Circus rip mics up and down the Cali coast all the time. Out here our funkee and charismatic beats laced with insane lyricism is inconceivable. If your not from the Westcoast you should visit. I guarantee you will leave with a higher understanding of how deep Hip Hop can go. This album "Adopted by Aliens" is some of the illest, sickest, cleanest, intergalactic Hip Hop out. After listening to this album, I now know being wierd and conceptually smart is the coolest... Oh yeah, pick up "Know Future" which is the Shapeshifter album before this one. Go to celestialrecordings.com and check it out. curbserver.com too while your at it. Late. Rest in Peace DJ Rob One. We know your talented soul shines over us all.

This is a pretty weird album... yes, indeed. The LA-based Shapeshifters Crew appears to be mostly white, and it comes out in their spaced-out, sci-fi rhymes and chasing beats. Think a step or two beyond Kool Keith's Black Elvis... that's what I'm shooting for.

But there are some serious tracks on this CD. The opener, "Who's Got Presents?" rolls along with a slick bassline and some hilarious rhymes. "Prevail," "Reiterate" and "Flossin'" are also good tracks with some nice lyrical work.

Too many tracks, however, are a little too off-the-wall for this reviewer at least. Tracks with names like "Mos Eisley," "Hootie and the Brainfish," and "Words of Wizdumb" are just begging to consist of nonsensical loops and even stranger rhymes.

This CD isn't underground, it's so far above ground it's in outer space. If you're a Kool Keith fan, this could be for you. For the average hip-hopper, it might be a little too far out there.

I loved this cd from begining to end. The Rod One mega mix made me cry. I think everyine under thirteen should buy this cd.
