Okay, I'm lost somewhere in the numbers. But Infinito has independently release no less than 25 and not more than 28 albums. Yes, that's a 2 and an 8. And he started in 1995, released eight records in 2000, and has teamed up with Brithwrite records to release what they call the 28th album (while earlier in the bio they write the other number of 25). So if three more or less, the number is still dizzyingly high. And not considering the important aspect of quality being more important than quantity, it's impressive. And when you check out this album here, you doubt that the other releases are anything but worthy of your attention.
But despite all these albums, only in 2002 Infinito got the chance to release his first 12", the Fat Beats distributed and Memo of the Molemen produced "Qualified Professional #27". That song appears on this album too and it's definitely one of the many good songs, as the beat gets you bobbing in no time. The lyrics match this with going for the braggadocios verses, making this a quality boom bap track. And Infinito likes to spit the battling words. Therefore there are a lot of tracks on here, where he hones his sharp tongue. So there's a "Change Around" where he teams up with fellow windy city spitter Verbal, there's "Vocal Capability" and there's "Ready For Anything", that is again fitted with a neck snapper beat.

But Infinito also speaks about more than just handing out and ducking blows. On the title track "Music With Sound Right Reasoning" he opens all of his three eyes, to look into the world. While he asks to not 'reason with him' on the hook, before he remembers some punchlines that he hasn't yet mentioned, but that put down the blind and ignorant in fitting ways, while Memo again does a dope beat. "Seeing Is Knowing" does something similar, where he reminds us that he's the only person that sees the world through his eyes, and that spends all day with his mind and soul. So he kicks one or two brags, but also throws some brackets of his life our way. Infinito however gets fully reflective on "Escaping The Turmoil Of A Twisted Reality" or "At Night I Can't Sleep", where he appears introspective, but in a way outgoing that he wants to be part of the bettering. Teaming up with Soulchild, Infinito does "The William Lynch Treatment" for more messages.
And digging for more dope beats, there's "To Those That Hate" where Mixx Massacre is looping a climbing and descending piano, or there's "Shadow Hours" where Memo digs up an incredible sample, where Infinito again kicks his mix of bragging and jewels. The sample on "Black Chicago" surfaced by Mixx is also excellent, while Infinito spends the track to speak on his hometown. DJ PNS only offers two beats, but the abstract and somewhat O.C.-ish "Open Space" is one of the best on here, and the quick "Instructions At The End Pt. 3" is capturing the rush successfully.
And all as already said, obviously adds up to an excellent album. It being one of the bricks that builds the often mentioned continuously impressive track record of Chicago. With Infinito being one of the, lets say, New School veterans, he certainly is one that believes in practicing to get better. He lets us observe his progress, as if he'd be part of some reality TV show. And this latest episode has us definitely wondering how he got here.
