I like the fact that threads about this album keep popping up and getting bumped and falling and rising. Because that's the kind of reaction that a record like this should get - it's a grower. It's not immediate. I can imagine that a lot of real hip-hop purists would dislike it on first impressions. And it's not perfect. But it's packed with interesting, original ideas and song concepts that make you think, rewind and catch the idea again. And the more I listen to it, the more I hear, both in the music and lyrics. The description of a hangover from hell on 'Your Glass House' is so vivid it makes me feel sick hearing it, and that's partly Slug's rhymes but partly the churning, dark music. It's brilliant story-telling. 'In Her Music Box' is a song about father-daughter relationships that Eminem could never write. And the song about his dad - especially the line "I've been meaning to ask you if I;m doing alright?" - is fucking gut-wrenching. Really bitter-sweet and poignantly done. This album isn't for everyone, but if you're a hip-hop head at least 'preview' it. You just might like it.

This album isn't for everyone, but if you're a hip-hop head at least 'preview' it. You just might like it. I agree with just about everything you said except the part about Your Glasshouse. And that's one of the reasons why I love Slug's writing. This is what he had to say about the track:8.) "Your Glasshouse"Slug: "I don't want to say it's trendy, but it's contagious for everybody to take issue with what's going on in this presidential administration. It's become the new thing, when even losers like myself started to pay attention to politics. That was a sign to me. But every time I've tried to say something socially worthy, it always comes off preachy, and I don't like being that guy. I never really did a great job of alluding to what the song's really about. For the most part, I think people are going to think it's about a hangover. My friend Tunde (Adebimpe) of TV on the Radio sings backup vocals on it. It's real subtle. I thought he stole the show from me, which is the only reason I turned him way down."How great is that?
