This got released a few hours ago- and I just started listening. Now, I'm relatively new to Saul Williams- I listened to a few of his music videos...

That wasn't from this album. But this album is a lot like it- spoken word, rap, with a pretty heavy dance beat to it. And the influence from Trent Reznor is pretty evident, but it feels like what I've heard of Saul thus far. It sounds brilliant, really- super hardcore hiphop, I'd say.

Give it a listen, maybe you'll like it.

    Bach is brilliant, this is catchy. Like the sound though, might have to take a look into the new CD.

    Good rhythm, and for the most part the lyrics hit the flow just right... but some of them just sound stupid. Needs more work before he releases this one. I'm curious though, think I may give his CD a listen. Don't think I've heard hip-hop with atonal accompaniment before though, and it isn't the overt hate crap that seems to get played around here all the time.

    <div align="center">Is there a reason why you are feeling insulted?
    Or are you just feeling insulted in general today?</div>
