Aesop Rock

[Megaphone Fuzz]

Any Ace fans in here? He's dropping his album "None Shall Pass" on August 28th. Anyone up on him?
I got a chance to hear some tracks and lemme say he keeps raising the bar each album he puts out. He's sikwitit.

Which album/song you felt of his the most?

[Megaphone Fuzz]

Which Aesop song/album was your favorite?

[BreakCanon]

Music for Earthworms or Labor Days. I have a feeling the new album will be dissapointing, although the track "None Shall Pass" wasn't bad by any means. Bazooka Tooth sucked though. I think it will be hard for him to top Labor Days so early in his career.

[Mercury Hayes]

labor days...all day

the song he did with grimace federation is great too

[beat tape king]

Appleseed and Float. Those two share a tie on my top five pieces of music EVER.


Thanks for the info, I didn't know it was so soon.

[Megaphone Fuzz]

I actually liked the Bazooka Tooth album...not my fav, but it was different. Music For Earthworms and Labor Days are the albums I would say are my favorites.
I already pre-ordered my copy for the new album, can't wait to check out the show in NY :rambo: .
I have a lot of favorites and I enjoy his whole catalog, but I think I would have to say "The Substance".
Favorite track(s)?

[bays1c]

Recommend me an album by him... I can't really get into his music, he's really...different.. So if you recommend me your favorite album, I'll check it out.

[Megaphone Fuzz]

I think "Music For Earthworms" or "Appleseed". I think those albums you might feel or maybe not. You should give it a listen. Aesop's music is an aquired taste. I think you'd like at least a few songs.

[bays1c]

Yeah, I've heard many tracks.. just never really dug into his style.. its really different, lol. My favorite track is probably "Daylight".. and yeah, I was going to check out the None Shall Pass advance, but I was afraid there would be annoying voiceovers.. Is it basically the actual album with voiceovers tho?

[BreakCanon]

Labor Days is his most accessible work to date, IMHO.
