I like these guys a lot but I didn't think that was among their better tracks. Better verse from Mike than from El.

Both of these songs are solid but not as good as anything on RTJ2

Yeah, neither of these have grabbed me to the same degree.

The opening four-track assault from RTJ2 is still one of my favorite runs on an album.

A Christmas Fucking Miracle!
They released the album late last night, and it's fantastic. WOW!
It's free to download on their site. There's also a clip of their new appearance on Portlania.

Panther Like a Panther and Thursday in the Danger Room are my current favourites, but there's a lot of great stuff here.

The last 2 tracks feature El-P going full El-P. Easily his best work, production-wise, in his RTJ career.

On track five. Goddamn, this is way better than I was expecting based on the initial singles. Wow.

Ya, I really wasn't impressed with the multiple singles released before the album dropped. I was expecting, for the first time in my days of following EL-P, to not love an album of his. What a fucking surprise this is to be so jaw-dropping good.

Yeah, this is front-to-back fire. Which is impressive at 14 tracks.
