Review

Rolling Stone (6/20/02, p.83) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A heavy, turbulent affair....He comes out swinging wildly, but DAMAGE has plenty of knockout force..."
Spin (1/03, p.72) - Ranked #27 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
Spin (7/02, p.111) - 9 out of 10 - "...DAMAGE picks up where CO FLOW left off, slamming jagged boom baps into computer-crash squeals like the score for a 'Blade Runner' sequel....[El-P's] paid-by-the-word rhyme style requires some real attention, but you'll be glad you dug in..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/24/02, p.94) - "...Amplifies the dystopian side of his former group, Company Flow, with dense, short-circuited beatscapes and raps that are rabid, literate, oblique, paranoid, political, sentimental, and as relentless as prime Public Enemy..." - Rating: A
Uncut (1/03, p.94) - Ranked #3 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "The most uncompromising hip hop record to emerge in 2002..."
CMJ (5/13/02, p.19) - "...An unapologetic amalgam of the IDM-inspired, disjointed musicality of his production work...and the old school, boomin' bass, sampled and scratched B-Boy vibe..."
Vibe (June 2002, p.152) - 3.5 out of 5 - "...FANTASTIC DAMAGE is a dense, cryptic blast of verbal spray and dirt-caked beats....stunning slabs of cacophonous beauty and gothic proportions..."
NME (Magazine) (5/25/02, p.30) - 8 out of 10 - "...A cyborg rap meisterwork..."

Title Note

Personnel includes: El-P, Aesop Rock, Ill Bill, Cage, Camu Tao, NASA, Vast Aire, C Rayz Walz, Mr. Lif, Rob Sonic, Steven Segal, DJ Abilities.

Formerly a member of the seminal New York progressive/underground hip-hop crew Company Flow, El-P has made a name for himself in a crowded market with a churning musical and lyrical style that's reminiscent of an updated Sly Stone in his THERE'S A RIOT GOIN' ON period, complete with swampy, shape-shifting beats and spontaneous-sounding lyrics. The overall effect is mesmerizing. Here the last 20 years of hip-hop seem to have been put into a blender and filtered, deconstructed, and reconstructed to produce a unique and enthralling whole.

On FANTASTIC DAMAGE, El-P oversees a kind of post-industrial R&B landscape, full of fleeting, terrifying imagery, electronic effects that disappear almost as soon as they're heard, and trance-like zombie rhythms that invade the subconscious. If it's not quite your big brother's hip-hop dance party, it's definitely a world that's simultaneously scarifying and fascinating, daring you to delve deeper inside it.
