lol oh yeah? Dude’s averaging 14 and 11. Where are you gonna get that kind of production?

Maybe it’s just me and I haven’t noticed it or latched onto it, but outside of the random disclaimer at the start of “Radicals” (which is really, really funny) and the references to critics calling his music horrorcore, what are the big moments that take away from what he’s saying? Transylvania and Tron Cat are both full of horrible, awful imagery and rhymes without any words of remorse.

It sounds great, every song has a number of memorable/quotable (around the right company, at least) lines, and you get both sides of Tyler (the fictional, misogynistic rapist and the depression-riddled kid who misses his friend and never had a real father) while also getting a new side (a romantic Tyler, a side that I think fits in perfectly with his persona … cunt). There’s really not much more needed from this. It’s really, really good, and I’ve had a hard time listening to anything else. Even though he lacks the pure rapping ability of someone like Earl or possibly even Hodgy, there’s something that’s extremely compelling about what Tyler’s done here, and really with what he’s always done. Once you’ve submitted yourself to the gang of wolves, it’s hard to turn away. So, yeah, one of the best albums I’ve heard in a while, and I’ve already racked up some 100 listens to it.

Also, any word on when we’ll get a Jasper and Taco album?

I’m just wondering why you guys haven’t posted both the AV Club’s best of the Decade and their best of 2009. Both lists are quite good and from a major publication. Much better than this list…
