Undeniably the best album to listen to while defecating in your sister's hair. With Q-bert on the decks and Automator producing--even Gargamel and Azriel purring and rapping over the beats would've been dope. In fact, I read a recipe and the ingredients for Frosted Flakes over the beats and I couldn't believe how fabulous it sounded.

If you like underground hip hop classics, dope album cover art, sick turntablism, and awesome beats, this album is a must have. I still listen to it regularly and I think I've had this album for about 8 years. Keith's lyrics are ingenious but they will not make sense to someone with a limited understanding of polyfunkoptemetricology. I would buy this just for the cover art. And the plastic CD case is sturdy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Material, September 1, 2002

One of the most innovate recordings in hip hop history. Dr. Octagons' outer space funk infused hip hop is something so unique I guarantee you'll never hear anything like it again. The Automater's beats are trippy, funky, dark and surreal. Doc Oc's (Kool Keith) lyrics are abstract, funky, and spontaneous. Standout tracks include Technical Difficulties, Blue Flowers(original and remix), Dr. Octagon and No Awareness. The whole disc is tight and flows effortlessly throughout. Word to the wise, approach this disc with an open mind, definately one of my top 10 hip hop cds ever, maybe even top 5.
