This is an instrumental album, if you havent figured that out with the four previous albums. This cd is so good, it never gets old. The beats are very differnet from one another, let alone different from what you'll ever hear. It is also great (actually, its superb) for freestyling. Coltsfoot leaf is the best track, but they are all special (herbs) in their own way. Get this in your CD player now!

It comes as no surprise that Metal Finger's latest addition to his Special Herbs collection is his best. MF Doom has evolved nicely over the years. His rapping and production has always been a step above it's predecessor. Here we have several untouched beats and instrumentals that Doom has backed on several of his proper albums, and some you may have never heard. Volume 9 kicks off with the pure beauty of "Vinca Rosea" and "Burdock Root", then dives into the familiar "Vervain" ("Beef Rap" from MM.. Food). "Bergamont" and "Untitled (Meditation)" are the standouts on volume 9, and "Peach Extract" is probably my favorite throughout. The last half is a little more funked up. This is ultimately the most unique ride Doom has taken us on, through his moody and relaxed production. His style is simply untouched and completely original. Underground hip-hop heads interested in hearing some quality hip-hop instrumentals should definitely check this release out.
