This new Tame One was a hard album to review. I just couldn’t figure it out. Tame has made some good songs in the past, but this album was a fail on his part. I couldn't decipher a coherent concept this album. He basically babbles about random subjects for twelve tracks. I always try to find the good in these independent releases from the Def Jux camp, but this was ridiculous. This can hardly be considered an album. At times I could smell evidence of lyricism, but then it quickly wafted away as he changed concepts. He was off beat a lot of the album, as well. I think the only track I liked was Suede Addias, although I have no clue what he is talking about in it. First he is rapping about preists and religion then he started talking about living the life of crime. There was a clear drug theme with the mentions of acid and PCP. Maybe that's what listeners needed to be on to enjoy this, 2/5.
