about

The Self-titled and self-produced album from Saul Williams. First establishing himself as an influential poet, and then as an award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams went on to establish himself as an MC. His approach to MCing wasn't exactly in line with the traditional school of hip-hop. His rhymes weren't really rhymes but rather his poetry delivered in a frenzied spoken word manner that was more rhythmic than alliterate. This is his second album and features Zach de la Roca, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), and Ikey Owens (rip) of Mars Volta. 2004.

"Trent Reznor heard this album and asked me to open the "with teeth" Nine Inch Nails tour. After our first show together, he asked if he could produce my next album, which became The Inevitable Rise of Niggy Tardust (recorded while we were on the road). After Hurricane Katrina, I performed this album with Trent and NIN as my backing band at Voodoo Festival."

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
