lyrically and musically "the unseen" is really borring to me. every track is way too similar and its just predictable. I dont care for this album much at all, its well done and mixed and everything but I dont fancy it. plus he says "nigger" waaaaay too much, to the point where its just like come on say something else. Im not trying to bash quasimoto or anything, theres some good tracks on it but I felt it was a little weak--just my 2 cents.

well i'll admit that it took a few listenings before it really sunk it's claws into me. but of course everyone's tastes are different. My fiance really hated it when i first subjected her to it. it took her a few weeks before she came around. she really didn't like his "elmer fudd" voice. but i overheard her recommending it to a friend over the phone the other day so. . . worth another listen?

i'll listen to it every once in a while but it seems a bit weak. I find that line about stabbing the guy with the pitchfork amusing heh as well as the picture in the insert. the jazz song that tributes the jazz legends is really cool too.

how is it that when i bring up a madlib project all i get is ignorant responses and then when people talk about quasimoto or YNQ it's like everyone's favorite joint?

listened to it today for the first time in a while. i wasn't as into it as i remembered. i dig it musically, love it in certain moments, but i've realized i don't like a lot of his lyrical content.
loop digga great though.

oh god the unseen is amazing.. ive listened to is hudreds of times and every time i hear something new and brilliant.
the unseen - keep it clean like a diamond ring - or dirty like a one night fling - but i bet you can't catch my swing
ack - the diamond ring symbolizing eternal commitment, the polar opposite of a one night fling.. i could easily write a few pages about each track on this album.. how each song has multiple layers/double, triple and quadruple meanings that let the listener enjoy it on any level or any mindstate..
whew!

i have The Further Adventures Of Lord Quas so far - recommended by Combo. : )
i like it, and i'm thinking of getting The Unseen maybe, but... one thing bothers me about The Further Adventures: all the best parts/all the memorable parts seem to be just samples.

interesting facts:
- i think the unreleased bootleg of "further adventures of lord quas" is actually better then the official release
- madlib recorded "the unseen" using just a boss sp-303 sampler, a tascam portastudio (cassettes vintage!) and lots of vinyls recorded on an old record player. the cool thing is that he did it in a hotel room using a sony stereo for monitoring...
- madlib said that most of the money at producing "the unseen" went for weed...
"creativity..." :D

(great avatar again !)
Hell yeah the samples are amazing, but some of them are from ultra-rare records and thanks to madlib who has got a HUGE collection of records, we can hear them ! And don't forget that a lot of the samples might come from tracks that are not really interesting except for that sample. As Madlib says in one of his song, he can spend 16 bucks on a record for a simple drum kick !
By the way, his way of mixing is incredible (for example the construction of "Players of the game" is simply amazing imo) and I also love his way of rappin' (as well as the funny way Quasi rhymes with his weird high pitched voice). Plus he always as good guests on his records !
I can't wait for the next release !!!! For me, this last Lord Quas album was in my top three last year !
