My Album Of The Week for the week of October 28th-November 3rd, 2013:
P.O.S. - WDELH/MDS/RMX
I'm pretty excited about this one. It took me quite a while to come around on P.O.S. We Don't Even Live Here. Considering that his last record, Never Better, I thin it's fair to say that it was initially a disappointment. I've since come around on the record and, to be fair, comparing it to Never Better was never totally fair considering that album was an absolute wrecking ball (never mind the fact that I was living in New York and desperate for something that reminded me of home at the time).
I've also come around a bit on the whole Marijuana Deathsquads experience. Like most people I was pretty confused, initially, by exactly what MDS was all about at the beginning. Fortunately, through a combination of live shows & excessive spins of both their Tamper, Disable, Destroy (the hip-hop one) and Music Rocks I & II (the noisy one), I think I get it now. Both of those albums have been albums of the week before and I've learned that anything under the "Marijuana Deathsquads" label deserves, and rewards, repeated spins.
Like Tamper, Disable, Destroy and Music Rocks I & II, WDELH/MDS/RMX is a free download. Even if you've never heard P.O.S. or the original We Don't Even Live Here you should give this one a few spins.
