Editorial Reviews

This recording is a rare glimpse into the insane world of this masked super villain. The 50 minute live set finds MF DOOM flawlessly running through the classic tunes from his extensive catalog. MF DOOM shows are very rare so to capture a complete performance from beginning to end is virtually unheard of. This live recording comes directly from the "sound board" to ensure the best possible quality. A must have for any DOOM fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doom's New Live CD!, March 23, 2005

The performance on this CD is flawless... especially Doomsday. And it was interesting to hear the Madvillain songs he performed before the CD was released; he changed them later on to make them flow better, which was a wise decision. The only problem with this CD is that it is all one track... yes, all one track. It's very strange and something Doonm would do.... not that you would skip tracks, but it's the principle of it... that's the only problem. Other than that, go out and buy it (and all of Doom's other stuff) like I did and support the underground.

EDIT: Also, the Amazon tracklisting is slightly wrong. Before Change The Beat is a cool mixture of sci-fi effects and acoustics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Doom fanatics, October 21, 2005

This review is from: Live From Planet X (Audio CD)

My obsession with the man behind the iron mask has been overflowing within the past few months, and "Live From Planet X" plays a big part of it. This is simply one of the most raw live recordings I've ever heard. And honestly, I couldn't have hoped for anything better than what I got. Doom is presented in classic form, performing with great energy, intensity and comfort that only a seasoned veteran could bring to the table. He muscles through classics such as "Greenbacks" (originally a Prince Paul song), "Hey!", the then unheard "Accordion" (from the forthcoming Madvillain album), "Great Day", my personal favorite "Rhymes like dimes", and the Madlib produced "One Beer".

Overall, there is very little a Doom fan can complain about here. Amazon claims that it's a 50 minute live set in their description above, but it actually clocks in at just under 39 minutes. Also, even though they break up the track listing above, it's all on a single track, which really makes it feel like a complete set from start to finish. The great sound quality more than makes up for those very slight flaws.

I've gotten this over the holidays, and thought it was great.


You actually feel like your at a concert, excluding the screaming and drama. Best of all , his voice is clear. Doom would be the last person I'd think voice would be clear live. But he seemed to be on point. You may find a lot of material from Operation Doomsday here, and One Beer. Personally, I love this CD.

Sometimes you hear the people shout his name

"MF, the SUPERVILLAIN!"

Yeah, it's great stuff. That great.

If you want something to add to your collection of "liveness" then this'll be great.

Definitely recommended.
