 (21 Customer Reviews)
Intital pressings of BAZOOKA TOOTH contain an Enhanced bonus CD, which contains 12 regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Stream-of-consciousness lyrics, stuttering beats, and troglodyte bass lines are the bedrock to Aesop Rock's BAZOOKA TOOTH, a collection of almost freeform rapping that boasts some fashion-forward sampling in a grinding collision of words and found sounds. Rock's third collection of underground rap continues the Brooklyn-based rapper's original course of combining a fusillade of words--some rhyming, some not--with a thick, grainy production (this time courtesy of Def Jux label honcho El-P) that complements his leaps of rhyme and logic perfectly.
The title track is characteristic of the whole collection, with its elastic bass track underpinning an eccentric sound collage that's an effective counterpoint to Rock's half-heard lyrics. If you're used to some of the more rhythmically straight-laced sounds and the guns-drugs-hoes subject matter coming from East and West Coasts, not to mention the Dirty South, then BAZOOKA TOOTH may come as a shock to the system-which is precisely the intention.
Personnel: Aesop Rock, Camp Lo, PFAC, El-P, Mr. Lif.
Producers include: Aesop Rock, I. Bavitz, Blockhead, T. Simon, EL-P.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.202) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Because the New Yorker exudes an unpretentious blue-collar persona that somehow complements his dark beats, his records are strangely compelling..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/26/03, pp.92-3) - "...[Aesop Rock's] sawtooth grooves resemble the apocalyptic, lasers-on-metal sound of [El-P], yet with an accessible, future-funk flavor OutKast--or George Clinton--would be proud to claim..." - Rating: A-
CMJ (10/6/03, p.4) - "...Spouts off verbal assaults in gushes of claustrophic wordplay that execute a sonic jihad on the literary and grammatical rules that hold the rest of us by the nape of the neck..."
Mojo (Publisher) (10/03, p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Magnificently intimidating. Every time you think you've got to the bottom of a particular song, another layer of intrigue presents itself..."

This cd's got a couple of good songs, but his voice gets annoying pretty quick. I think I am just a fan of rappers who actually rhyme along to the beat.

Not Aesop's Best Work
This is, like any other Aesop Rock album, an album for those who love eccentric, deep, metaphor-filled hip hop. However, on this particular title, Aesop Rock drops his normal spot as the most backpack of the backpackers and bends to more of an El-P sound. It lacks the individuality of Labor Days or Float, and if you don't have either one of those you should definitely get them before this one.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  ahhh
aesop rock has done it again. I liked it but it was not as good as labor days. I think this album was good and definitely worth buying. So if you bite on this you don't know nothing. That is all.
Peace,
Dollaz

| | Johnny Roth Still Not Talkin' CD (2003)
Bazooka Tooth CD music
$9.75
Pennsylvania guitarist Johnny Roth -- not to be confused with John Roth of the '80s hair band Winger -- serves up seven tracks of instrumental blues with a rock edge on his debut CD, a definite keeper. Roth's influences are no secret here: his tone and phrasing often echo Robben Ford's, particularly on the title track (a reference to his shy nature). A good dose of well-executed slide weaves through the tunes, often serving as a nod to Duane Allman. "Demoman" is proof positive ...
