First 100 orders I think get a signed copy. I am just going to get mine at the show and maybe she'll sign it for me if she remembers me, doubtful but I'll try. Basically from what I talked over with them is: Dessa - Jan. 19, 2010. Lazerbeak 2010, P.O.S. - 2010 which could be a collab with another artist that I can't remember, Sims - The Veldt - Fall 2010, Mike Mictlan - 2010 - solo record, no word on new Cecil Otter. Paper Tiger has a full-length in 2010 also I believe. P.O.S., Dessa and Sims said basically there is so much shit they are going to release in 2010 that I won't believe it. Here's to hope.

^Nice. Yeah, the P.O.S. disc will be a colab with Astronautalis (whoever that is). At least that's what the news post here on Sput said.

I thought this review need a little more description of the album (it's so hard to do a record this amazing the justice it deserves) so I added another paragraph..



Anyone have suggestions on how I can improve the review a bit?

Honestly i think it's fine where it is. If it had anymore detail it might turn people off from reading.

Good point man, I guess my fanboy-like love for P.O.S. could influence me to make this review too long for it's own good. Thanks for the pos bro.

No problem, its well deserved.

Still haven't checked out his older stuff yet but I'll get on it soon.

Good review.

Album Rating: 5.0

^I'd definitely recommend checking this out first (obviously I guess, I gave it a 5). I like this and Ipecac Neat slightly more than Never Better (which is still great btw).

I think it goes this, Never Better, Ipecac Neat
Let It Rattle and Drumroll alone give Never Better mega bonus points.

Album Rating: 5.0

^those two songs are the dopeness. I also like Graves, Been Afraid, Purexed, Terrorish and The Basics (Alright).



I think it's a sentimental thing w/ Ipecac for me. I love Kidney Thief, That One, Methhead vs. McNugget, Music For Shoplifting, Kicking Knowledge in the Face, etc..

Album Rating: 3.5

Never Better is my favorite, then this. Ipecac is alright.



I think POS has a classic in him, but it hasn't happened yet... he needs to outright kick the soul sample/ doomtree-ish stuff to the curb and focus on the sh*t that makes this and Never Better good (a-la Purexed, Drumroll, the opener on this, etc)

Album Rating: 5.0

I think that's the direction he's heading in kingsoby (IMO). I think he was doing the Doomtree stuff because at the time it was somewhat unique and it was a good way for him to get his name out there (plus he's really good at it -- better than anyone in Doomtree besides Dessa maybe).



I don't think he'll ever give up the more melodic side completely, especially when he's coming into his own as a singer in addition to rapping. But the sound on Drumroll, Purexed, The Basics, Half-Cocked Concepts, etc.. is what makes him unique. This was a classic for me because of the strong songwriting and the fact that when it came out 4 years ago it was incredibly unique (El-P and Sole were doing somewhat similar stuff, but without the punk edge or sense of melody)

Album Rating: 3.5

This is a rapper? I never knew that.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yes sir random, P.O.S. is a rapper. And a damn fine one at that. Give this album a shot dude, it's really good. Or, at least go on youtube and check out the songs P.O.S. Is Ruining My Life, Stand Up (Let's Get Murdered), A Teddy Bear & A Tazer and Half-Cocked Concepts. Really good stuff.

Album Rating: 3.5

Not really big into rap except the Beastie Boys, but thanks.
