Amazon.co.uk Review
Doom (aka Zev Love X, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, etc.) has so many alter egos, it's a task just to keep track of his prolific catalogue. The shared threads that run through all of his work are his bugged-out lyricism and his eclectic, inspired production motifs. Whether cartoon soundtracks or '80s soul singles or moody jazz melodies, Doom embraces any and all sounds with equal affection. Despite the presence of guests like Count Bass D ("Potholderz"), Madlib ("One Beer"), and the Molemen's PNS ("Kon Queso"), Doom is still the mastermind. This culinary-inspired outing is a loopy food-crazed journey through 15 tracks best described by the last song--"Kookies." It's tempting to call Doom an acquired taste, but for the deep underground heads who treat his rhymes like ciphers to decode, he's anything but. His approach to music-making, seemingly (but hardly) random, packs so much dazzling style and unpredictable flair that the 50th listen can be as enthralling as the first. --Oliver Wang

Customer Reviews

Mainstream DOOM? Not quite...
I loved this album. It's a coherent piece of work, Underground/Overground straddling, where DOOM actually raps on full length tracks, unlike much of his, at times frustrating, classic collabo with Madlib; "Madvillainy". Every cut here has a food-related theme playing the background to battle rhymes (Beef Rapp), love-issues (Guinesses), internet porn/romance (Kookies) and insincere amigo's (Deep Fried Frenz... aimed at MF GRIMM perhaps?).

This is still typical DOOM (Fantastic 4 samples, self-produced 'strange' beats, that familiar flow, witty punchlines hidden deep inside verses and with "Underground MC" worn proudly like a badge), but it seems more accessible than much of his work as Viktor Vaughn or King Geedorah. Some of the tracks even have proper choruses! For me, this is like a mix between his KMD days and his first DOOM joint, Operation: Doomsday... light-hearted, innovative and off-the-wall (rapping over Anita Baker tracks about "keeping your Ho's in check"!). The high point is the Madlib-laced One Beer, a truly mindblowing song containing a crazy rolling drum pattern and high-pitched wailing that heads might recognise from the Jaylib joint. This song makes me realise why I've loved this music so much for 20 years.

Why is it not 5 stars? Full marks should mean 'classic', and this isn't far off, but I think Madvillainy was his finest work.

MORE BUTTERY FLOWS
MF DOOM IS THE UNDERGROUND KING THIS ALBUM IS SPOT ON BUT TOO MANY SKITS WE NEED MORE BUTTERY FLOWS PLEASE MR DUMILE BUT DOOM KILLS IT ON EVERY TUNE NOTHING BAD JUST NEED MORE BUTTERY FLOWS, I USE THE WORD UNDERGROUND NOT AS IN NON-COMMERCIAL AS IN HE DOESN'T COMPROMISE DOES WHAT HE WANTS NOT WHAT SOME FAT LABEL TELLS HIM TO DO RESPECT MF MAN I PROBABLY OWN EVERY TUNE HE HAS EVER DONE BUT STILL WANT MORE

ridiculous...
Picked up this album earlier on today and was expecting a decent record...not amazing. however, I was as surprised as I have ever been with an album this side of five years. Not that I was expecting less, from DOOm..I just didn't expect anything this good...If you like good underground hip-hop, I'm entirely confident you will like this...just to compare, I like Mr. Lif, EL-P, Aesop Rock, Blockhead, Doesone/Themselves/Cloudded/Subtle, Anti-pop consotrium, Alias, Sole, Sage Francis, Jel, other Anticon + Def Jux, Tes, Atmosphere, etc., and a lot of old school hip-hop like Eric B + Rakim, Public Enemy, KRS-ONE, Beastie Boys, etc........so if you like any of these acts and can aprreciate original samples, awesome beats, and an amazing flow, pick up this disc withoit delay, one of the best I've heard in many years.
