Atrocity Exhibition

Used to despise Brown's vocals, couldn't get overy the whiny, nasal delivery solely in the upper register. Took seeing him open for RTJ + more than a few years to 'get it,' though I think that's still an ongoing process. Thankfully, the genius on this LP is still pretty clear to see – love it or hate it, Brown's voice is the crazy glue holding together an amazing free jazz assemblage in the beats, each track seemingly assembling itself as it goes along. The production is clean yet analog-feeling, allowing each instrument to drift in and out freely as the fever dream proceeds. There's 1-2 tracks with draggy features that kill a bit of the momentum, but most of this 15-track album delivers in a way that's still unique nearly a decade on.

One of the best hip hop albums ever

Danny Brown is pretty polarizing rapper. I’m partial to him being from Detroit but I understand why people dislike his music. It’s made for those parts in movies where the main character goes on drug filled montage. He is a pretty good rapper he just has a sound and style that can be a bit off putting sometimes or for long durations. This still has some credible replay ability though as the production is solid and the features given the album an added bonus. 6.3/10

I think I’m supposed to like this extra because Detroit but idk

Well, Atrocity Exhibition sounds like it's going to be lighthearted and fun. Death metal, maybe? Or filthy dubstep? Let's find out! Holy crap, hip-hop is the very last thing I was expecting. Is his voice going to continue being a continued impersonation of Granny from the Ohio Players' Funky Worm? Thankfully not. I do wonder if the word "copacetic" was invented specifically for rap. Track four - Really Doe - Granny is back. FFS. Overall, it's alright with some very very questionable vocal choices. Won't bother to listen again.

Complete garbage

vulgar, noisy, monotonous
