    I have had this album for a long time...i have never seen any reviews of it until now and just let me say that the ratings i have seen are completely wrong (my opinion). This is a great album that does a awesome job of blending genres. Any fan of the new DangerDoom album should go back and by this album immediately. Be prepared to be Awed.

    There's some magic in "white people". The first half is very pleasing and almost perfect, but things are hit and miss in the later half.

    This CD is definitely not for everybody. Those looking for an album exactly like the previous one from handsome Boys Modeling school will be dissapointed. If you are looking for a straight up hip-hop album, a lot of the songs wont be for you. With all that taken into account, I loved it. Go into it with an open mind (The RZA and John Oats in the same CD?) and you will be pleasently surprised.

    An ecelctic mess that will send purists of all stripes screaming bloody murder. You, of course, will love it. [Dec 2004, p.105]

    Paul and Dan, knowing that the Dating Game skits sandwiching the album were just a poor shadow of the 3 Feet High And Rising game show, had to up the Wacky Factor within the songs themselves. “More guests! More cray-zee guests!"

    The skits keep it realer than reality TV. [25 Nov 2004, p.88]
