    L.A.'s underground hip-hop heroes sound like a welcome throwback to rap's politically conscious and musically diverse early-'90s period. [26 October 2001, p.124]
  2. Radio stations will still probably ignore the old-school, stylish singles like "Proper Propaganda" and "Heavy Rotation" that make Expansion Team a winner.

    A more polished sonic effort than Dilated's 2000 debut, The Platform.
  4. Expansion Team makes good on The Platform's promise by showcasing a battle-tested but exuberant group at the top of its form.
  5. The 16-track set showcases Dilated's combination of intelligent lyrics and mind-blowing production.
  6. In a time when the music is either dominated by commercial personas or the proteges of the new breed of super producers, 'Expansion Team' is an essential shot in the arm for the increasingly stagnant underground.
