"You never know what to expect from MF DOOM, other than a full-length album of head-nodding and unique hip-hop. You won’t even be mad that he brought in Pebbles for some additional sung vocals on “Doomsday” and “The Mic,” it adds the right amount of flavor to the mix. DOOM is “Dead Bent” to the point of sounding high or drunk when he raps, but somehow every way it’s wrong makes it right; more so than even Ol’ Dirty Bastard is capable of. To sleep on this album would be a mistake, because MF DOOM has come back from tragedy with a triumphantly dope LP."
