Danger Doom
The Mouse And The Mask
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

2015 2LP black vinyl deluxe edition. The album is tied in with The Cartoon Network’s "Adult Swim" programs. This album stands as a testament to the unique chemistry between the two artists, melding Danger Mouse's inventive beats with MF DOOM's intricate, abstract rhymes. Lyrically, DOOM is in peak form, his verses teeming with the kind of complex wordplay and enigmatic storytelling that have cemented his status as a cult figure in underground hip-hop. Tracks like "Sofa King" and "Old School" show DOOM's effortless ability to marry the absurd with the profound, crafting lines that demand multiple listens to fully appreciate their depth. Meanwhile, Danger Mouse's production is a masterclass in creativity, employing a dizzying array of sounds and textures that perfectly complement DOOM's vocal stylings. Guest appearances from the likes of Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, and CeeLo Green add further layers to this already rich tapestry, resulting in an album that is as much a celebration of hip-hop as it is a playful homage to the animated chaos of its Adult Swim inspiration.
