5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent release from Aesop Rock, May 1, 2002

By	J. B. Ware (Burnin' In Hell) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This EP is excellent. While it is not as conceptual as his previous release the Labor Days LP, it is full of even more energy. If nothing else buy this album for the incredible hidden track "One of Four." All the songs are dope except for "Brack Basher" and even that is only weak because of the beat. You will enjoy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars AESOP DROPS ANOTHER WINNER, February 8, 2002

By	pj azzara (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

**Before reading this review you should know that I am a huge Aesop Rock fan and my be a little biased. Keep in mind i did my best to give a good representation of this particular work.** Aesop Rock' new ep "Day Light" is a great follow up of his "Labor Days" album. It shows his growth as an emcee and a producer. Block Head manages to take his own production up a knoch as well, yet holds onto that classic Aesop sound. Production on the ep also includes El Producto (company flow) and Blueprint (greenhouse effect). El p's beat on Nickle Plated Pockets is definetly dope ad adds a nice variety. El p is very good at making a beat that suits a rapper very well, and in this case he blends his own sound with Aesop's very well. Blueprint produces and rapps on "alchemy": this is probably my favorite song on the album. Aesop takes a chance and slows his flow down consierably, and nails it. The ep also includes "Maintainance" which was on the "coma" 12" and a secret song. I admit that Aesop is not for eveyone, but if you're diggin the whole Def Jux* scene than you will definitivly feel this ep.

5.0 out of 5 stars you owe it to yourself to buy this. really., October 13, 2007

By	liz (dc) - See all my reviews

i agree that it's too short, but that doesn't take away from the total awesomeness of this record. aesop's lyrics are ridiculously good; it's like climbing into his head and experiencing his world, plus i love his voice. and i'm even kept interested by the instrumental tracks, which is rare. sadly, i lost my first copy, but this album is definitely worth buying again.
