I've heard great things so I wanted to LOVE it. The first half disappointed me but then I started appreciating how much it rocks. After listening to it all the way through I gave the first half another chance. Still not loving it but still a really good album. I would like to give it 3.5 stars so I'm rounding up to 4.

One of the first songs on the album talked about calling the doctor at peepeefiveonedoodoo. The first "song" was porn. It's hard to take it seriously after that. There were more juvenile references that just kept taking it down. What could have been good hip hop/psychedelic funk ended up losing to the bodily fluid references.
