Atmosphere's fifth album (not including rapper Slug's numerous side projects) isn't quite as consistent as previous CDs like 2003's Seven's Travels or Lucy Ford, but it's hardly lagging far behind. For all the attention Slug gets as a rapper--deservedly so, given that he, along with Aesop Rock, is a smarter, less pissy Eminem--producer ANT is as vital to this pairing as anyone, lacing the album with everything from the hard knock beats of "The Arrival" to the gospel-influenced charm of "Get Fly," to the old-school drum assault on "Bam." Slug covers ground that he's already been renowned for, a balance of in-your-face braggadocio ("Watch Out"), tunneling introspection ("Little Man"), and a typically reliable ditty about his female problems ("Pour Me Another"). The only real fault is that the album doesn't quite seem to be as adventurous as it could be, but even in playing it (relatively) safer, this is still easily one of the top 10 rap albums of 2005. --Oliver Wang

Slug and Ant at some of their finest. Phenominal beats and hooks as well as intellectual rhymes and a true to life voice that resonates their passion all throughout the underground hip-hop community. Atmosphere, an unstoppable duo.

I picked up this album when it first came out and soon it made its way to the end of my playlist. I heard the song "Little Man" in a shuffle and it re-sparked my love for this album and I haven't stop listening since. This in my opinion is one of the more creative hip hop albums of the last several years (others include Bayani-Blue Scholars, The Scenic Route-Panacea to name a couple). Atmopshere went out of his "comfort zone" and may have created a lyrical monster by doing so. This shows his versatility and those who can't appreciate an artist growing and broadening his scope of talent don't deserve to be fans. This album is/will be a classic and should be in every hip hop lovers collection.

How many albums of whiny songs about girls can a "rapper" put out? The beats are not necessarily bad, but only by "backpacker" standards. If you listen to genuine hip-hop and not the suburban version of it, you will likely find the production to be sub-par. Slug himself sounds like he doesn't even want to be rapping half the time. I don't know if that's part of his "I'm a lonely soul" appeal, but it sure sounds bad. It is clear that this album is meant to appeal to angsty suburban teenagers and no other demographic. I'm not trying to write a nasty review here, and I must say that "OverCast" was actually a good Hip-Hop album. But Slug and the whole rhymesayers crew are just killing the idea of underground hip-hop by stripping it of it's hip-hop elements. Hip-Hop is not the type of music where whining and complaining to a psuedo-creative beat works.

Amazing songs. Anyone who likes underground music, especially rap should try this out. Atmosphere makes good music. A lot of songs that rap about real things, and not pointless junk.
