Dangerdoom: The Mouse & The Mask (MF Doom, Dangermouse) Vinyl 2LP
Deluxe 2015 repress. It's kind of amazing how good these "underground blockbuster" collabs have been for MF Doom- seems no matter who he's working with it comes off better than 99% of what's out. This heavily anticipated combination of Dangermouse and MF Doom continues the streak with both guys cleanly executing their end of the concept album- it could be Dangermouse's most consistent production yet, and Doom is as entertaining and illustrious as ever. The songs revolve loosely around the cartoons from Adult Swim (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost, etc), and some of the characters also make appearances but that doesn't ever get in the way of Doom's lyrics. In fact, if the concept wasn't so explicitly spelled out with the marketing & packaging, you might not even notice it. Just another layer to dig into. Plus the Hunger Force makes real good skits. Guest spots are kept strong & minimal with quality appearances from Talib Kweli, Cee-Lo and Ghostface. Comes packaged in translucent printed slip cover with colorful inner sleeves and printed insert.
- black double vinyl pressing
- individually packaged in full color sleeves w/ translucent slip cover
- original release year: 2005
- music label: Lex Records 2015
