5.0 out of 5 stars SPECIAL HERBS 7 & 8, October 28, 2004

By	Exxxxx (shack in the wilderness.) - See all my reviews

This is a superb collection of MF DOOM beats, probably my favorite out of all the special herbs CD's. 2 of the beats are off of King Geedorah, the rest I believe are new joints. Perfect for freestyling, or just lounging around the house to. C'mon dog it's MF F***ing DOOM, pick this up ASAP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groovy, fun album, April 20, 2006

By	Manny Hernandez "Author of Ning For Dummies" (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I've gradually gotten into the work of London-born MF Doom. This album, "Madvillainy" and his work with DJ Danger Mouse, "Dangerdoom" have been my introductions to his vast discography. So far, I've found his work to be both creative and innovative.

In "Special Herbs, Vols. 7 & 8" he puts together a groovy blend of hip-hop beats and soul with a fun touch of chillout that remains timeless. It's an album you will probably be able to listen to without any problem 20 or 30 years from now.

A definite five stars production, this album left me wanting to go back to hear more of the amazing music works by this hip-hop artist.

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.
