| "Through The Looking Glass" is Anonymous Twist's second album (his first was 2000's "Eugenics" read the review) and like "Eugenics" he produces all the beats. |
| He could probably make a living producing for other people. As fans of the east coast sound will like his production style. He will give you a nice loop and scratch a chorus, sometimes made from two different records. It's nothing revolutionary but if done well as he does on this
album you're good to go. |
| Anonymous Twist might have improved the album if he took his best beats then looked somewhere else for others to produce a few joints to shake things up on the album a little. He does switch things up a little bit but a little more variety would help. Another thing I would change
is to cut some of his interludes; he has seven. When are people going to realize the only person that should be allowed to do an interlude is Prince Paul? |
| Twist's flow and voice reminds me of Evidence of Dilated Peoples, but with more personality. He does have some versatility as an MC too: he gives you the talk shit raps and he can be more introspective. And on some songs he comes strong, others he is just having fun. |
| One of the standout cuts is "Ramblin Soul" where Anonymous Twist shows some emotion over a nice chill out beat. |
| "Fuck a plastic pleasure / I only plant seeds that will last forever / cause I wont, no matter how I live / but I realize I'm that branch between the trunk and the twig / thinking big within my own means / sewing my own seams living my own dreams / hidin' my tears, grinding my
gears / gave up 15 minutes of fame so I could shine for years" |
| Although it isn't without its faults "Through The Looking Glass" has some dope beats and Anonymous Twist has some nice rhymes. What else do you want? |
