Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of THE most anticipated follow-ups in the modern era of independent hip-hop, MADLIB's most famous alterego returns with a playground of stoned-out, helium-pitched rhymes over his hottest beats yet. Includes appearances by MADVILLAIN, and MED. Please note promotional advances of this release have a sampled deep voice that says (loudly and repeatedly)"THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF LORD QUAS". This sample is only on promo advances (and perhaps bootlegs), not on the version that you can purchase from reputable record retailers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stoned Immaculate, July 28, 2005
This is my first outing with Quasimoto. After hearing the Madvillain album, I was totally enthralled by Madlib's unique and original production. I was also interested in Quasimoto's helium-voiced banter, and how it would hold up through a full length album. The results are definitely not what I expected; as it pushes the envelope much further than the "Madvillainy" album. The 26 tracks actually translate to nearly 60 grooves, skits, songs and interludes. Which means if you like or dislike a part, it will most likely pass within the same track. But there is an underlying theme to the whole album, and most of them are observatory under the influence of marijuana, among other things (see cut 19, "Shroom Music"). It's a parody of urban street life. Quasimoto appears to be a street-smart kid, spouting off his perspective on several things. Good examples of this would be "Bullyshi*", where he deals with bullies, or "Greenery" where he smokes and buys weed, or "Bus Ride" where he deals with a crazy cracked out panhandler. Some of this stuff is so crazy, it would seem that the Anticon label would be distributing this stuff. Where artists like Dose One and Pedestrian seem excentric and forcefully unusual, Quasimoto and Madlib hold stronger to their hip-hop roots. Not to say that it's all hip-hop; as several quirks of jazz, soul, funk and easy listening have been thrown into the mix. Make no mistake about it, this album is as pro-weed as any Cypress Hill record, and is probably most enjoyable over a packed bowl. But where the music brought forth by Cypress Hill was very lazy, sticky and stoned itself, Madlib shines new light on the same message. His music does sound stoned, but in a much dirtier, complex multi-element sort of way. Take "Players of the Game" for instance (one of my favorites); water splashes, zipper sounds, crazy tweaked out bells, soft soulful background vocals, and beat juggling turntable action. Tracks like that are just candy for the ears.

Although I very much enjoyed the adventures that take place throughout the album, I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't an exhausting listen. It's not easy to digest whatsoever. There are times where you just start to settle into a groove, and then poof, it's gone. But that's something I, and many fans of Madlib have come to accept (and expect). This is definitely on the cutting edge of hip-hop; musically, lyrically, and thematically. I would like to say that the balance of weird quirky elements and accessibility is perfect, but it's not really, thus the four star rating. I've listened to the album about 6 times, and it's still growing on me.

Madlib lives in the studio; that's obvious. Getting blazed and making music is his thing, and he does it very well. Music like this can be compared to Ween's "The Pod" (where they locked themselves cabin, inhaled lots of scotchguard, and made an album on an eight-track). It's an adventure in inspiration brought forth while under the influence of drugs. I know that seems harsh, but it's not something you hear everyday (at least this extreme). Madlib is on the forefront of futuristic production in hip-hop, and he's proven himself time and time again. Madlib is the epitome of originality. And originality is hard to grasp sometimes. So be patient with this baby.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Rap Albums of the Year, October 13, 2005
The Further Adventures of Lord Quas is the Trout Mask Replica of rap. Madlib, much like Captain Beefheart, has a unique style that is hard to penetrate and hard to pin down. The songs on this album aren't really songs per se, they are more like random clips and odd ball samples with the occasional spattering of rhyme thrown in. The album is dizzying to listen to. Their must be 50 or 60 little mini skits, song fragments, and other oddities sprinkled through the album. All this combines to make one of the best and innovative rap albums to come down the pipe this year.

Madlib/Quasimoto has created an innovative and unique production style that he created with the first Quasimoto album the Unseen, continued with the excellent Madvillian record, and continues to refine with this production. Overall I think that his production sounds more complete on this record than on Madvillian. What makes this a weaker release than Madvillian is the quality of lyrics and the MC involved.

Quasimoto is not as good as MF Doom. Quasimoto seems to be riffing on Doom's style throughout, and his voice can get kind of irritating. He sounds like Eminem on helium and without all the homophobic gay bashing. It's an interesting trick, kind of like what Prince did on If I Was Your Girlfriend, but extended for a whole album. His style can be grating though.

Overall, The Further Adventures of Lord Quas is a good album that fans of off-kilter alternative rap will love. If you like Dr. Octagon, MF Doom, Peanut Butter Wolf, or Aesop Rock, then you'll enjoy this. You want to be patient with it though, Madlib's style is like peeling an onion, you need to remove some of the outer layers before you can get the full effect of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhhhhh, maybe it will grow on me (NOTE: it has), August 9, 2005
The first Quasimoto album was fantastic. Frenetic beats and rhymes, sprinkled with even more hyper Melvin Van Peebles quotes.

Some people couldn't take the heliumized (is that a word? I doubt it, but I digress...) vocals, but I thought it was hilarious and original.

However, "The Further Adventures of Lord Quas" is a little bit too, I guess, interrupted, for my taste.

I still like the deep-diggin' obscure jazz samples and the Van Peebles quotes (he gets guest billing on the back of the album this time around), but the tracks are pretty short, and too often, they stop right in the middle of a hot beat.

"Greenery" rides a nice 808-style beat while Quas extols the virtues of his favorite herb, and it's fairly obvious that Madlib enjoys spending his days blunted behind the boards. Like I said in the review title, maybe this one will grow on me, but my guess is Lord Quas just hit the sophomore slump.

REVIEWER'S NOTE: Since I've written that review, much of the album has grown on me. There are still a few tracks that I could do without, and a lot of them are interrupted by sound bytes and the like, but "Closer" is front-runner for my Hip-Hop Song of the Year, as Quas and MF Doom stick-and-move atop a dissonant jazz riff. "Raw Addict, Pt. 2" is my write-in for Beat of the Year and "Hydrant Game" sports an addictive track and hilarious chorus ("You ain't gotta go away mad, girl/Just go away/Lord Quas ain't the one to play the hydrant game...").

Not as good as the first Quas album, but still a deep-diggin' banger for the most part.
