Free Music Review: The Weather (3.5 Stars)
Hit: 3 Stars

Anyone even glancing at this page probably needs no rehashed preface about any of these three musicians. The only similarities they share include having unique styles and having the capacity to produce wonderful musical artifacts. Like some other reviewers here, however, i was dissapointed with what came to fruition when these three musicians collaborated.

The album's shortcoming isn't that it's too homogenous compared to hip hop or electronic music's other offerings - no, far from it. The album is an example of the distillation of quirky electronica, lo-fi, speedy lyricism, and playful sampling. The potential for such a combination really shines in tracks like "Exaggerated Joy", "Name Forgetter", and "Glorified Hype Man". Unfortunately, these tracks along with a couple of others, are the only songs that I found listenable and utterly enjoyable after one playing of them.

The pitfalls of the album come in the form of ADD. I say this because some of the tracks seem like the musicians had no apparent focus when recording them. While a lack of focus can be a good thing sometimes - even resulting in memorable, skittish tracks - it fails on this album. Tracks like Barely Music and DJ Furry have are without a crowning moment that makes them standout. The beats simply meander without climax or memorability. Other tracks like "Sleep Standing Up" and "Thousand Words", while good, are equally forgettable because they come off as a canvas for the musicians (Radioinactive and Busdriver, respectively) to see how fast they can rhyme instead of seeing how *well* they can rhyme. On these two tracks, especially, Daedelus's inventive beatmaking talent takes a backseat. In fact, all of the forgettable tracks on the album have this same attribute: a lack of good instrumentals to support the two rappers.

The album, overall, is good, but not great and definitely shouldn't be seen as an example of what the inventive and original Daedelus and Bus Driver (I'm not including Radioinactive in this list because I'm not really a fan of his solo music) can create on their own. Tracks like "Quiet Now feat. Busdriver" on Daedelus's beautiful "Invention" album is more indicative of what the two can do when they try hard enough. The Weather amazes the listener the first play through because of the speedy lyricism, but quickly becomes forgettable after its novelty wears off and you realize deficiency of good beats on many of the tracks.
