4.0 out of 5 stars More McFrontalot, very different though., November 19, 2008

This review is from: Final Boss (Audio CD)

I bought Nerdcore rising a couple of years ago and Secrets from the future right when it came out. I like these albums alot. McFrontalot is one of my favorite artists and I love most of his songs. I don't like alot of other nerdcore because I find it annoying or just not amusing. McChris is alright, but the skit / content ratio is too close. This album isn't the best McFrontalot album, but it does have a few really good songs.

Anyways on the new album:
On first impression I though this album was a little short especially with multiple skits. The songs are VERY varied and you have not heard McFrontalot like this before. There are the usual songs with other rappers, along with a girl singnig japanese in one song (which reminds me of Katamari Damacy.) The songs have more of a pop sound, but they are not annoying and it's still nerdcore; there is even a song or two with some really cool techno-like electronics in the background. It almost reminds me of Beck due to the huge variety in song style, not sound obviously. These unique songs like "Canadia" are some of my favorites. All in all this is probably my least favorite McFrontalot album, that does not mean I do not like it though... just comparing.

I bought the digital copy from Amazon b/c it came at 256kb/s and itunes still does their terrible 128kb/s. This is the 1st Frontalot album I've bought digitally, but at $18 it's too much. The $9 digital cost is acceptable. Had I paid $18 for this album I would be a bit unhappy (mostly due to its length.)

Bottom Line: If you like MCFrontalot you will probably like this, even if it's a little short and different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Face the Final Boss!!, February 7, 2009

Few artist in the Nerdcore World can drop an album that sounds so good that you feel like it came from the major music labels with all the gleam and polish that entails. MC Fronalot happens to be such an artist, and his latest efforts on Final Boss do not disappoint.

I really loved this album. It does a great job of wondering around the geek cultures and observing them from within. Often tongue-in-cheek, the album seems to show all that is great about the Front when he raps. Thick beats, check. Cameos of nerdy icons, check. Vocabulary way bigger then you average MC, check.

The only negative I can find with this album is that it is so ensconced in that which nerdcore, it is really hard to ask someone new to the scene to make this their first purchase. I still think that Nerdcore Rising is the best album for newbies, but if you are a nerdcore fan and have heard of MC Frontalot, buy this album. Now. Right now. BUY IT!!!!

**Also, Amazon, if you are going to sell nerdcore on you site, the spell checker should really know it too. All I'm saying.

I have one negative thing to say about this album

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet!, December 13, 2008

I first discovered Frontalot before Nerdcore Rising showed up on the scopes, and I am happy to say that Final Boss is the best album yet! Frontalot has a superb gift for intelligent, intricate rhymes, not to mention the most excellent album artwork (which in my opinion is the second drawback to purchasing only the MP3 files -- the main drawback being that Front is receiving less of your money which he so richly deserves). Once you've bought the MP3s here, also buy the CD from Frontalot.
