    20 years later and this album still kicks ass! Another Warp classic.

      Is it just me or is the CD mastered too flat and bassy?

        Some killaz on this album. One of the best 2000's hip-hop. "Human Shield" is insane.

          The buzz of "Contraption" lets you know that the Antipop Consortium's ARRHYTHMIA isn't going to be your run-of-the-mill hip-hop album. And as the throwback beats of "Bubblz" kicks in, the lyrics come on quick and nimble, weaving around the electronic gurgles of "Ping Pong." The faux talk show introduction of "Silver Heat" gives it a humorous twist (similarly, you've got to love the skit of "Tron Man Speaks"), while the quick blips and swirls of "Ghostlawns" make it almost IDM-like in its melodic and rhythmic composition. Compare that to the stripped down "We Kill Soap Scum" or similarly minimalist "Focused." It's that experimental spirit that keeps hip-hop a vibrant form. And as the album ends with the smooth "Human Shield," it shows the ways that the genre can grow.

            there are many words that can describe this cd if i had to choose one the word is "iLL" this is abstract hiphop at it's Finest it's completely Verbally TWISTED so can tell how much work and effort went into this album. The amount of samples and how they are set off after the mc's spit is amazing. The Abstract stories Leave your mind dangling like what just happend!! then you think you don't KNOW But then you say the Shit was ILL!!! Bubblz, human shield, myth, tron man, ghost lawns, eTC they are all good tracks Check em out!
