I found the Madvillain cd to be anti-climatic. It starts off so good, but quickly becomes repetitive drivel that sounds like they spent 3 minutes cooking up.
Really? I think Madvillainy is great. I only bought three rap albums last year (Madvillain, Kanye West, Dizzee Rascal), and I thought all three were pretty good. I can see how some of the songs could be considered a little repetitive, but I would hardly call the whole album anti-climatic.
