Editorial Reviews

At last, the official sequel to Dr. Octagon featuring Kool Keith, One Watt Sun, DJ Dexter and Princess Superstar

The Return Of Dr. Octagon is the follow-up to Kool Keith’s 1996 critically acclaimed Dr. Oncagonecoloyst (Dream Works), a psychedelic hip-hop concept album about a deadly, libidinous and doped-up doctor.

Return of Dr.Octagon is deeper, funkier and more spaced out than the original album. This time around Keith’s groundbreaking mic skills and schizophrenic imagination compliment the mysterious production and collaborators. Dr. Octagon has reinvented himself covering a broad lyrical range that includes everything from socially conscious sermonizing to intergalactic martian fables.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you buy this you are stealing money from Kool Keith., July 2, 2006

This review is from: Return of Dr. Octagon (Audio CD)

This album was made becuase some shady record label Keith was dealing with, jerked him in his contract saying that they could make pop-dance remixes of any of his songs. Keith of course not wanting his music to be screwed with in this way tried to pull out of the deal. What is presented here is exactly what he didn't want to see, some vocals from those sessions shipped off over the internet to Europeto be remixed by wack, techno DJs Keith hadn't even spoken over the phone with, and then thrown together into an "album." Keith tried to get this release stopped for years, but the label finally slimed their way to getting it into stores. If you really are a fan of Keith don't buy this album. If you're that curious just download it for free. The real, original release of the new Dr. Octagon, Keith worked on with Fanatick, is on the way after the current letigation is cleared up. I imagine it will be called The Real Return of Dr. Octagon or something simular. Wait to buy that one and don't give money to these snakes.

4.0 out of 5 stars suckas., November 17, 2006

This review is from: Return of Dr. Octagon (Audio CD)

Someone has been pushing the rumor that this is not legit. or intended by Keith. I guess he hates it so much he made a video for "aliens" which I saw the other day on NY Noise, which features the artist throughout and credits the label. the rumor of illegitmacy must be false, and intended to keep suckas away from the album. Keith has always been into anticommercial maneuvers --recall the subject matter of Dr. Octagynocologist. The "loyalists" leaving 1 and 2 star reviews are --refer to title of review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album......though mis-labeled as Dr. Octagon, July 25, 2006

From what I'm told, Dr. Octagon 'The Return' Is a collection of stolen samples mixed by some unknown goons in the U.K.
However I am a curious guy, and decided to download the album to see what all the fuss was about. The first thing I noticed was the quality and production value was leaps and bounds above the average bootleg. Honestly, this album sounds great, maybe even better the the original.
The album has a completly different style the Dr. octagonacolgyst, this is essentially a dance album with KK'S vocals slapped on top and a bunch of guest vocals to fill things out. With that said, the disc completely rocks. Start to finish, these songs are as entertaining as any. A great party album, I put this on at work and instantly had all my co-workers asking who this was, and where they can buy the album.
While 'The Return' is awsome, it's definatly NOT a Dr. Octagon album. It would have been better called somthing like 'Kool Keith and a bunch of random goons from the U.K. present: Trees, Ants and Aliens'. Either way, I like it... and unfortunatly you will too. You shouldnt buy it though, download it and bootleg the bootleggers. Great album or not, all these jerks care about is the CA$H and Kool Keith does not deserve to have his music stolen and sold for profit.
