"Review by Ray Harkins:



Since this release will have mostly broadsided people as only rumblings were getting out about Josh from Coheed and Cambria doing a rap side project, but that is basically all it was, a rumor. Then a few songs leaked as Coheed began on their massive swing towards the stratosphere of popularity and people began to talk. More people were really wondering if this was real or just simply a big hoax.



Then the songs really started to circulate and a burned copy of some songs landed in my ears and I was astonished. It really sounded like a very polished, major label hip-hop record complete with huge beats and obscenities. For the novelty value alone this complete full length really can bring a chuckle knowing where this is all coming from. The sheer amount of ingenuity and talent to come up with something like this is just staggering.



Hip-hop may tickle people in different places as most of the punk community is divided on that particular style of music, but regardless of where you stand, this is worth a listen or two for the sheer comic value alone."

Amazing

"I first heard this a few months ago, way before the release. I heard the pre-release. There was an extra track on it that was really nice, and I'm not exactly sure why they left it off. Probably because it included the lyric "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired" from a Nappy Roots song. Anyway:



This is the best rap/hip-hop album I've ever heard. Josh has extreme talent, both as a drummer and as a rapper. The beats and rhymes are top-notch, and I recommend this to ANYONE who remotely likes any genre associated with this album.



I can't wait for these guys to tour in May. This stuff has been in my CD player constantly since I got it. And I don't even normally like hip-hop."
