January 13, 2004

Don't you think? Well - acting playfully, it increases. Doing from [the cover art], it is doubtful, don't you think? It is full opening. [?] washing with the brain seeing [?] laundry board, it increases. Album of Jonathan Toth of the Omaha graduate from Hoth. Artist name we would like to see to from Hoth, is....

Although it is not [the likes] of Yaggfu Front, elements are similar to 1st album, where you can attach "The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" and subtitles are felt. So, being more comical, vulgar taste it is feeling. The Art Of Hip-Hopera it probably is to make opera ones which from a certain thing are by Hip-Hop in subtitle. If it tries doing from the general listener, perhaps, you can think in only laughing Hip-Hop, but if in everyday life Co-Flow and Anticon etc, you who the poison are done falling in this Album it is inevitable.

But cheerfulness it is and has atmosphere "Chaos Theory", "Get A Job", "The Monster Within" of the [type of] sound which is devastated and "Insomniacts" and so on, the phrase and effective sound from the classic movie are used and at the same time dramatic the odd [] mysterious [] the world is expanded.

But, it is not the case that it makes simply strange tune. [Artists] such as Krs-One and Wu-Tang the sampling having and others [samples] of HIP HOP you make hear, appeal also the love of Hip Hop. In addition with it includes the feeling of "The Day After" rhyme is stepped on inquires about RAP strongly, it is the expectation where it understands that he is real RAPPER.

The end begins finally to the play and the [?] is chapter last tune of four tailoring. Highlight. In 2nd chapter "Spock vs. J-Toth" using Mr. Len "The Morning" for track of Freestyle. Knowing, it increases. And as for 3rd chapter "To the Pain" the metamorphosis track which disputes this Album's 1,2 rank. There is no word for expressing. One after another, the track keeps changing, we would like to do, at will it is one tune.

Every tune having done the cheap sound making well at about fantastic notion, this UNDERGROUND HIP HOP and feeling there are some which thrill. As for your brain as the jacket it probably is to enter the same state the time where it finishes to inquire about this Album. [salutations?].... (2004/01/13)
