The lies are getting truer, and the truth is getting brighter. Things are looking blacker, but black is looking whiter.

Innovative and excellent all-around. Catchy yes but trendy no.

MOST INNOVATIVE HIPHOP LP EVER MADE (CAPSLOCK BLESSING). After 3 months it's still classic LP for me and best LP I've ever heard in my whole life. Forever support for Ish and Tendai.

It's a shame that for as masterstroke as this was, Shabazz Palaces never even attempted to follow it up with any particularly creative or creatively curious efforts.

Experimental hip hop at its finest. I remember seeing this guy back in 2014 in support of FlyLo's You're Dead. I was high and did not understand everything. I do now.

The production borders on masterful and insane - unconventional song structure and
transitions place this album way ahead of its time. The lyrics are certainly thought
provoking as well, providing lines such as:-"Time I understand it, but I never choose it. I
can't explain it with words, I have to do it."-"I run on feelings, fuck your facts.
Deception is the truest act."-"I'm free to chain my will on the wings my instinct and wander
around this box I'm inextricably linked."-"The lies are getting truer, and the truth is
getting brighter. Things are looking blacker, but black is looking whiter."
