El-P Fantastic Damage

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A heavy, turbulent affair....He comes out swinging wildly, but DAMAGE has plenty of knockout force..."
Ranked #27 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
9 out of 10 - "...DAMAGE picks up where CO FLOW left off, slamming jagged boom baps into computer-crash squeals like the score for a 'Blade Runner' sequel....[El-P's] paid-by-the-word rhyme style requires some real attention, but you'll be glad you dug in..."
"...Amplifies the dystopian side of his former group, Company Flow, with dense, short-circuited beatscapes and raps that are rabid, literate, oblique, paranoid, political, sentimental, and as relentless as prime Public Enemy..." - Rating: A
Ranked #3 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "The most uncompromising hip hop record to emerge in 2002..."
"...An unapologetic amalgam of the IDM-inspired, disjointed musicality of his production work...and the old school, boomin' bass, sampled and scratched B-Boy vibe..."
3.5 out of 5 - "...FANTASTIC DAMAGE is a dense, cryptic blast of verbal spray and dirt-caked beats....stunning slabs of cacophonous beauty and gothic proportions..."
8 out of 10 - "...A cyborg rap meisterwork..."
