Editorial Reviews

Prince Paul has already proved himself as one of the best producers in hip-hop (De La Soul, Cypress Hill, Dr. Octagon, Chris Rock). Psychoanalysis proves he's also totally ill. (Er, that's a good thing.) The disc is more of a producer's sketchbook than a reliable album and is composed of scratches and skits mingled around a bizarro-world mimicking of nearly every style of urban music you can imagine, from Miami Bass ("Booty Clap"), Delta Blues ("The Bitch Blues"), and R&B ("You Made Me"). Tracks like "Beautiful Night" are so deeply twisted that it might take repeated listenings before you're in on the joke. Psychoanalysis feels familiar all the way through but is also deliberately alien, perhaps recorded just so Prince Paul can imagine the expression on your face during playback. --Todd Levin

Not what you're expecting, but great, March 23, 2004
Reviewer: outsider01 (San Francisco, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This CD is a trip. The beats are funky. Super creative topics are all over the map and they are completely realized. I haven't heard anything like it. If you have a sense of humor and like great music, get this album. If you are conservative and are afraid of your own thoughts, you might want some other album.

(REAL NAME)
As in the case with "Prince amongst Thieves", Prince Paul has made another important albumcd which will problably be ignored largely. This is testament not to the music and content of this work but due to the fact that much of american taste is derermined by the Lowest Common Denominator(lcd). Our music is awash in songs about cellphones,beepers,'ho's,weed,guns,and general low life subjects that make no mention of just how irrelavent this all is. Prince Paul deals with hate,depression, homicidal maniac's, and that's just to name a few of the characters that inhabit this world. Guest appearences by Dan the automater and kool keith round out what is one of the best cd's to come along, in a long time in any era.… (plus d'informations)
