The Far Corners of the Mind

Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein

The battle for Asgard and we fight as gods
Shatter your glass cage into a thousand crystal shards

This album is pretty solid. It's a production overall. It definitely feels like the beats were made alongside the writing. It all works together really well. You have to listen to the lyrics. You could definitely throw it in the background while just hanging out, but I highly recommend just throwing it on full blast or putting on headphones and just listen. All around a dope album.

Blaze emcees, amaze with degrees
On a higher level, in-spire devil to leave

I'm a week behind again, so next week I'll cover what would have been this week's and next week's.

Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass and Rob Zombie - Past, Present, & Future

Should prove to be an interesting week.

Week 10 (posting late, but I -TOTALLY- listened to it DURING last week.)

Rise Against - The Sufferrer and The Witness

Awesome. I'm going to re-listen to this a hundred times more, to actually hear all the lyrics and the points of the tracks. What did it for me, and grants it many-a-replay (so far) is the music. It's very empowering. Makes you want to jump around and/or go punch someone in the face. :)

This group is definitely going in my wish list. Thanks Josh.

Upon Awkword's suggestion, and the fact that I have yet to find a copy of Owusu & Hannibal - Living with Owusu & Hannibal, Week 9 was The #GYMR Top 25 Songs of 2010.

A few mainstreamers mixed with a whole lot of underground, good, real hip-hop.

HEAT.

So a nigga hungry as a plastic hippopotamus
So stoppers better take it in the blood like a phlebotomist

I don't even have any beefs with this album. I would disagree that Kanye takes the number one spot, a few of the other tracks I think beat out Runaway, but it's not -my- list. Overall, dopest Year-In-Review mixtape. I'm gonna be bumping this regularly. And I'll definitely be on the lookout for some of the people on this that I hadn't heard of till now.

 

Rise Against is -this- week's ablum.

Stay Frosty,

Week 7 Was Termanology - Politics as Usual
Solid album. Top to bottom, really well done. Beats by Premier, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Alchemist. How can it not be fantastic musically? Plus, the lyrical content is definitely above average. A few really good features, including Bun B, Sheek Louch, and Freeway, round out the lyrical arena. Termanology is definitely going on the list.

Week 8 - Jay Electronica - Attack of the Clones
Damn. I really wanted to like this a lot. My biggest beef on this is the mixing. The vocals are way to muted, and as a result so are the tracks. I BLASTED this in my car, and still did not get a whole lot of feeling out of it. The music is -good- not great. The lyrical content is good, but like I said, I would have liked to be able to bump this. It's an album that is something to throw in while chillin at home. Not something to bump in the ride.

Week 9's album was originally to be Owusu & Hannibal - Living with Owusu & Hannibal. I have yet to locate a copy, and I'm low on cash, so I can't go out and buy one full price. To that end, I've swapped it with The #GYMR Top 25 Songs of 2010, recommended by the homie Awkword.
