Organized Konfusion - Organized Konfusion

Few artists have managed to have such an explosive impact with their debut album as Organized Konfusion. Showering listeners in a hailstorm of rapid rhymes, Prince Poetry and Pharoahe Monch showed that verbal styles could be both fast and deep. Funked-up party themes like "Fudge Pudge" and metaphoric monsters like "Releasing Hypnotical Gasses" were dense in their lyricism. But O.K. still had a sense of humor--shown on songs like "Who Stole My Last Piece of Chicken?"--as well as a meditative side, as on "Walk Into the Sun." The grooves were soulful, yet frantic at times, jumping from the midtempo cheer of "Audience Pleasers," to the hyperactive attack of "Releasing Hynotical Gasses." In fact, the only real flaw in their debut was an abundance of input--too many lyrics to decipher, too many beats to absorb. Maybe that's why they waited three years for the sequel--to give us time to take it all in. --Oliver Wang Amazon.com

Organized Perfection!

This is seriously a great CD. Like most of the best CDs of all time, it hooks you in right from the start. I mean, there's not much I can say for it. Prince Po and Monch and on point and so fresh. You've really gotta' check it out. June 22, 2008

CLASSIC ALBUM

Classic cd. You must cop this but be warned the cd has audio problems. You can only hear it out of one speaker. I am not sure what is going on. I bought my copy at Virgin in Times Square. July 8, 2007

DO NOT BUY THIS CD

This is an awesome album. Sadly, I have the same problem as others have reported, the audio plays out of only 1 channel. Completely atrocious that the label would press a bunch of faulty CDs and continue to sell them after people have reported problems. February 28, 2007

BACK TO BASICS

I like this album but to me it's a little to "polictical" their skillz get covered up in the "message". IT'S ALRIGHT. November 5, 2006

In one ear and right out the other.

Ya'll got wack repressings or boots; 'cause my og pressing is fine in both ears.

This LP was a great introduction to Organized, but the second joint was their masterpiece. If your reading this, you already know who this group is and who Pharoahe Monch is. Even in his chubby days, he had lyrics that I only wish I culd write. Hot spots on this CD would be "Hypnotical Gasses." Pure lyrical wizardy.

Not the duo's best work, but still amazing. June 6, 2006
