The breaks are mostly annoying too and doesn't add anything to the album but unnecessary length. Anyway, a very important piece of rap culture nonetheless and some great hits that I'll certainly come back to.

Pretty good electronic psych rock album, but I really don't get how it's supposed to appear on this list. At this point, many more albums made a much bigger impression in the psychedelic rock universe : King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Thee Oh Sees... Hell, even Tame Impala isn't on this list. Are you guys just adding album that won a prize? Because time proves that a prize doesn't make an album a cult one. Just hire somebody else to update the book if you can't keep up.
