4.0 out of 5 stars Metal Fingers (MF Doom) Masterpiece, July 8, 2004

By	Steven A. Cutler (West Point, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

MF Doom has done it again as his production alter-ego Metal Fingers. This album rates at the top of my list with instrumental albums, along with Pete Rock's Petestrumentals and Jay Dee's Vintage. It has a extremely 70's feel throughout the whole album and leaves you with sort of a retro Herbie Hancock-esque (circa Headhunters) feel. You can clearly see on the song 'Dragon's Blood' Metal Fingers favors the comic book world with his sample from the 1960's Spiderman cartoon. 'Myrtle Leaf' is one of the best tracks on this album easily leaving your head bobbing and repeatedly pressing the Back button on your CD player. MF Doom is one of underground Hip-Hop's hardest working producers/MC's and geniusly exhibits his talent on Special Herbs Vol. 5&6.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ear Candy, June 28, 2006

By	Dustin Seanor "Dawson316" (Mobile, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

MF does it again with this third set of Special Herbs. If you like beats and instrumentals, you have to like Metal Fingers. This album was good, with, as always instrumentals from DOOM albums. There were also plenty of original beats. Two that I particularly liked were #3 White Willow Bark, and #6 Lavender buds. But then again I could go on and on. Some songs are soothing, others stimulating, but they all are sweet and will put you in a better mood for having heard them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get The Box Set instead, May 20, 2006

By	OverTheMoon ([e-mail]) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The Special Herbs collections are essentially instrumental-only tunes of what you have heard from MF DOOM / VIKTOR VAUGHN before and then some extra stuff that did not make it to the final cut and of course tunes that MF DOOM had being working on but had no place outside of an instrumental offering. Hence the name, Special Herbs! I would suggest that you search out a full MF DOOM collection and then get these supplements unless you are looking for instrumental-only hip-hop. If you are, then you have come to the right place.

Special Herbs: The Box Set is Special Herbs vol. 0-9. You get all five double albums for the price of two albums. So it is much better value.
