I love ...First Served, and Black Elvis and Dooom 2 and plenty of other Keith gems, but Dr. Oc has a special place in my heart like 36 Chambers and Ready to Die and Midnight Marauders and all the other hip hop that got me through the mid '90s. It will always be one of my favorite records ever made, but that's just me and I've got nothing but respect for your different and equally valid opinion.
But seriously this new album is very very good. I didn't think I was going to be surprised. I thought it would be good enough, but probably not great. But listen, I do this thing where whenever I put an album on for the first time, I rate the tracks that stand out immediately, giving them between 3-5 stars (I'm usually listening on one of my iPod Classics, which makes this easy). Anyway, I usually only rate one or two songs with a 5 on my first listen, but I have more than half the tracks on
Time? Astonishing! 5 stars the first time they spun.
That's a long nerdy way of saying I liked it a lot, and it so surpassed my expectations that, statistically, it's edging out my favorite records of the year!!
That doesn't mean shit of course, and things change. But right now, this album is blowing me away.
