The teaming up of controversial Gray Album producer DangerMouse and rapper/producer MF Doom has been a source of excitement amongst indie hip-hop communities since the rumours started a while ago. Those who enjoyed Madvillainy (Doom’s collabo with producer/MC Madlib) might be a little disappointed at the narrower focus of this album however, which is produced in conjunction with Adult Swim, Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block and heavily weighted towards the concept of a ‘cartoon’ album. Though it’s not quite a jaw-dropping classic (the incessant comedy skits may leave some non-American listeners out in the cold) the beats are solid, the flows are sharp and there’s enough professionally delivered boom-bap and articulate innovation to satisfy most.
