Kansas City representative and former Scribble Jam champ Mac Lethal adds a dose of observational humor to his signature lyrical sarcasm on the Rhymesayers release 11:11. Speaking on range of everyday topics (his favorites seem to be beer, making ... Full Descriptionout with strangers, and half-hearted protest music), Mac declares himself anti-almost everything but "pro-eating Captain Crunch cereal for dinner" and makes humbling statements somehow boastful (i.e. "See I could never date a girl that's on a magazine cover/'cause self-absorbed women don't make good lovers"). 11:11 is a clever, conversational rap record fueled by snarky humor and stoner cynicism. Production comes courtesy of Seven, Lenny D, and Lazerbeak.
Personnel: John Brewer (keyboards); DJ Sku (turntables).
Rolling Stone (p.125) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Fitting perfectly articulated rhymes to efficiently catchy beats in an accent as Middle American as canned peaches, he's a contemporary cross between a folk singer and a stand-up comic."
Alternative Press (p.188) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Seven, Lazerbeak and Lenny D handle the production, providing bouncy Bossa nova grooves, sampled breathy chanteuses and colossal reggae-dub bass drops."

EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of the songs. Keyboards, pedal steel, and acoustic guitars drift like abandoned ships swirling around in a colorfully tempestuous sea full of unknown nautical demons. Guitarist Vudi contributes some of the most artful, non-traditional sounds ever concocted by a "rock" axeman.
The album begins with a slow, soulful lament to a love who's either sleeping or dead, before taking up the subject of mortality more fully in the anthemic "Rise," written by Eitzel for an AIDS-stricken friend. Eitzel observes the trials of those around him on "Ex-Girlfriend," but "Sick of Food" turns his gaze inward, breathlessly describing his alienation from virtually everything and his simultaneous longing for connection. His disaffection grows more urgent on "The Dead Part of You," but by the closing folky ballad "Jesus' Hands," Eitzel's delivering a plea for redemption that finds him strangely at peace with contentment's evanescence.
Recorded at Music Annex Studio A, Menlo Park, California, Soma Sync Studios and Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, California.

This album is well worth picking up. I haven't been listening to much rap as of late but, I heard this and haven't taken it out of the player yet!

Saw him live in Raleigh and have been hooked since. Bought CD on release day and cant stop playing it. Rhymesayers for the win!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great, worthy of a purchase.
After rotation 2, I was hooked. Picked it up this morning on my way to work and can't wait to listen again on the way home. Clever lyrics and interesting beats. Pick this up for sure. Better than anything on your radio dial.
