King Geedorah-Take me to your leader

"King Geedorah is an MF DOOM side project. A concept album drawing on samples from sources as obvious as Godzilla movies (specifically “Kaijū Daisensō,” titled “Invasion of Astro-Monster” for English release) to those as obscure as the closing theme from the original Gatchaman anime. Other notable samples include one from Just-Ice’s song “This Girl Is A Slut” which appears in the song “The Fine Print” and the original Dark Shadows theme song (which appears in two tracks), to say nothing of an inspired use of a Hall & Oates song opening, “Take Me to Your Leader” offers a diverse and yet strikingly coherent pastiche of cultural artifacts.

Of course, Doom himself raps but very little on this disc, but the “rap-by-committee” approach works so well that you’ll hardly notice the variety of styles, flows, and voices."last.fm


Another MF Doom side project in the vein of madvillain. King geedorah, however, features alot more guests on  this album and a wide range of samples. The beats are good, albeit some are a bit strange. If you liked madvillain you will like this.
